4. Precautions
CAUTION:
Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces.
Consult the cable speci cation sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable
more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force
to the cable than speci ed. Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause
damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be
replaced.
WARNING: Never look directly into the end of a ber that may be carrying laser light.
Laser light can be invisible and can damage your eyes. Viewing it directly does not cause pain.
The iris of the eye will not close involuntarily as when viewing a bright light. Consequently,
serious damage to the retina of the eye is possible. Should accidental eye exposure to laser
light be suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately.
CAUTION:
Cleaved or broken glass bers are very sharp and can pierce the skin easily. Do
not let these pieces of ber stick to your clothing or drop in the work area where they can
cause injury later. Use tweezers to pick up cleaved or broken pieces of glass bers and place
them on a loop of tape kept for that purpose alone.
Good housekeeping is very important.
CAUTION:
Recommend the use of safety glasses (spectacles) conforming to ANSI Z87 for
eye protection from accidental injury when handling chemicals, cables, or working with ber.
Pieces of glass ber are very sharp and have the potential to damage the eye.
5. Mount Housing to a Wall
Step 1:
Open doors with quarter-turn latches.
Step 2:
Using the housing as a template, mark the mounting hole locations.
NOTE:
Use the pre-installed bubble level for mounting accuracy.
• WCH-02P:
L = 11.985 in (30.44 cm)
• WCH-04P/-06P
L = 11.985 in (30.44 cm)
H = 4.050 in (10.287 cm)
H = 11.130 in (28.27 cm)
Step 3:
Drive mounting hardware into the
wall at these locations, leaving a
1
/
8
-in gap between the wall and screw head.
Step 4:
Place housing onto the mounting hardware and then tighten.
