Installing the Fiber Unit and Amplifier Unit
The quality of the connection between the Fiber Unit and
Amplifier Unit has a major impact on the operating
characteristics, so be sure to connect these Units securely.
Securing the Fiber Unit
1. Cutting the Fiber (F32-70 only)
· Insert the fiber into the hole of the cutting tool and set the
tool at the desired length.
·
Press down on the blade and cut the fiber. Do not stop
when the fiber is only partially cut; make one clean cut.
· Once a hole has been used to cut a fiber, do not use that
hole again. The cut surface may not be clean enough
and the detection characteristics may be degraded.
2. Installing the Fiber
With the lock button in the release position, insert the fiber
into the Unit and press the button until you hear a click.
This click is the sound of the fiber being locked.

3. Removing the Fiber
Press the lock button again. The lock will be released, the
lock button will pop up, and it will be possible to remove the
fiber. Do not force the lock button up by pulling on it. (To
maintain the fiber’s characteristics, check whether the lock
is out of place.)
4. Fiber Insertion Location
When inserting the Fiber Unit into the Amplifier Unit,
always insert the Fiber Unit completely as shown in the
following diagram.

6. Protecting the Fiber Unit
When the outer sheathing of a FIber Unit other than the
F32-300 will be exposed to UV light, protect the fiber by
covering it with the F39-FU1M Protective Tube.
