1.3 Cutting the Fiber
The fibers of the LED Analyser are delivered standardly with a length of about 600 mm.
To avoid damages it is recomended to shorten the fibers to the correct length.
While cutting take care that the fiber is in a 90° to the razor otherwise a loss of light has to be expected.
It is recommended to use each hole only once in order to guarantee a clean cut of the fiber.
2. Attachment for thin fibers:
Additional to the 75mil sockets you can also use the attachment E39-F9 In that case the fixing with silicon is
not necessary.
The advantage: the fiber is fixed permanently and can be changed easily if required.
There are different possibilities to position a fiber above the LED which has to be tested.
1.Mounting with a 75 mil socket:
The recommended method of mounting the fiber is using the supplied 1mm ID, with a 75 mil socket. Another advantage
of the socket is the internal indentation, which fixes the fiber effectively in position during the debugging.
After the debugging the fiber can be held in position using a small dot of silicon adhesive.
