Step 12:
Remove the connector from
the tool and replace the dust cap. Slide
the boot up the fiber and push it onto
the rear of the connector. Note that
the 900-micron boot is held in place by
tension, you do not need to thread it
onto the connector. For SC connectors,
apply the outer housing.
Tip
: When doing ST terminations remember to remove the
launch cord from the connector before trying to remove the
connector from the cradle.
Note:
The full instruction manual for OptiCam® terminations includes additional instructions for 250-micron fiber
with build-up tubing, termination onto 1.6/2.0mm and 3.0mm jacketed cable, duplexing connectors, and more.
Please refer to

Troubleshooting Tips:
1.
Make sure the tool is using the most current version of firmware, as this will often include improvements
for the best overall user experience. A USB to Micro USB data cord (e.g. FOCTT2CORD) is required for this
process.
2.
Make sure the tool is set up properly with the right cord, right cradle, right connector, and right settings
to match the intended termination.
3.
Always replace the batteries with size AA Energizer L91 batteries or similar. Alkaline batteries are not
designed for complex electronic devices and will be consumed very rapidly. The tool can also be powered
directly via a Micro USB cord to save battery life. The tool will not charge batteries.
4.
Make sure to properly clean the launch cord every 50 terminations to ensure an optimal function of the
tool and user experience. Dirty/damaged launch cords are a leading cause of user difficulty.
5.
Make sure to do a good, 7mm cleave on the field fiber. Cleave lengths greater than +/- 1mm off will
create an increasingly more difficult termination process. Proper use of the cleaver is vital, as a poor
cleave is a leading cause of user difficulty.
6.
Use the help menu on the tool when an error message appears. If further assistance is needed, contact
Panduit’s Technical Support team
. Most issues are simple to diagnose and remediate.
7.
The OptiCam 2 tool is not recommended for use outdoors. Sunlight will oversaturate the camera aperture
and disrupt the tool’s function. The
included magnetic hood (FCCVR2) may help in some situations.
