GETTING STARTED
(1)
Carefully unpack the filter from the special shipping case, taking extra
care to avoid breaking the optical fiber (fig. 1).
NOTE: the filter is shipped with a
loose-tube jacket to provide added protection to the fiber pigtails. Pulling on the fiber while holding onto the
jacket can break the fiber inside the filter enclosure and destroy the filter. Always wrap several coils of the
pigtail around a 1-inch diameter mandrel to strain relief the fiber before stripping the buffer from the ends of
the fiber.

(2)
Carefully remove the shorting wire from the actuator terminals.
(3)
Unpack the FFP-C controller and follow these quick-setup directions:
(a)
Verify that the supply voltage selector on the rear panel is correct for
your local voltage.

counterclockwise.
