i
Please observe the permissible minimum bending radius for the optical fiber used.
Failure to observe the minimum bending radius (depending on the type of optical fiber used) leads to
breakage of the optical fiber.
Since the optical fiber cable consists of multiple fibers, breakage of any of the optical fibers leads to a reduc-
tion in the illumination intensity and, in the case of signal cables, to a decrease in the measuring signal. Fiber
breakage leads to a loss in the measuring sensitivity up to complete loss of the measuring signal.

Replace the optical fiber only with the light source switched off to prevent dazzle.
