The openings, cable ducts, and chutes must be dimensioned so that the fiber optic cable and
connectors can run easily through them. The cable ducts and chutes should comply with the
minimum recommended bending radius of 30 mm (1.18 in). See figure 2-8 below.

Connector Considerations
Two ST connectors are used to connect the safety mat to the control unit. These circular
metal connectors provide IP60 sealing (dust proof) and feature good mechanical resistance.
CONNECTOR DAMAGE
Make fiber optic connections inside the control unit or connecting box to ensure proper IP
sealing (of connectors) and protection from mechanical damage.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in product damage.
If a fiber optic cable extension is necessary, or if several safety mats must be connected
together, one or more ST cable-to-cable connectors must be used to interconnect the cables
(order the FF-SMZ175196 kit for a pair of cable-to-cable connectors). See figures 2-9 and 2-
10. All fiber optic connectors (including the two optoelectronic components inside the control
unit) are equipped with rubber caps. See figure 2-11. Place the rubber caps on the fiber optic
connectors each time the connectors are disconnected. The caps will prevent dust
accumulation on the end tips of the cables.
Do not touch the fiber optic end tips with fingers to prevent dramatically altering the optical
signal. If end tips are dirty, clean with lens paper soaked with alcohol.
