3. Squeeze the handles of the hand tool until the
ratchet releases. Allow the handles to open fully.
Slowly close the handles until you hear 3 clicks
from the ratchet.
4. With the connector assembly in the cable holder
assembly, position the termination cover in the
upper cavity of the front die and the plunger in the
upper cavity of the rear die. See Figure 4, Detail C.
5. Gently push the buffer toward the connector
assembly to make sure that the fiber is still
bottomed, then slowly squeeze the tool handles
together with both hands until the ratchet releases.
Allow the handles to open fully, and remove the
connector from the dies.
6. Position the plunger of the connector assembly
in the cavity of the front die with the knurl against
the edge of the groove in the die and the
termination cover pointing in the direction of the
arrow. See Figure 5, Detail A.
7. Slowly squeeze the tool handles together until
the ratchet releases. Allow the handles to open
fully, and remove the connector assembly from the
die.
8. Open the cable clamp of the cable holder
assembly, and remove the fiber from the clamp.
Slide the short boot over the plunger until it butts
against the connector assembly. See Figure 5,
Detail B.
9. Remove the connector assembly from the cable
holder assembly.
10. For the duplex connector kit, refer to Figure 5,
Detail C, and install the duplex clip as follows:
a. Center the channel “A” connector between
the duplex clip opening marked “A” with the
recess in the connector aligned with the rib of
the duplex clip. Make sure that the termination
cover (of the connector) is pointing in the
direction of the arrow on the duplex clip.
b. Using a biasing force, push the connector
into the opening until there is an audible “click.”
DO NOT force the connector onto the duplex
clip.
c. Center the channel “B” connector between
the duplex clip opening marked “B” with the
recess in the connector aligned with the rib of
the duplex clip. Make sure that the termination
cover (of the connector) is pointing in the
direction of the arrow on the duplex clip.
d. Repeat Step b.
If connecting connectors, remove the termination
cover, and inspect the ferrule end face for
cleanliness using microscope kit and 1.25 mm
universal adapter.
