diagonal-cutters.
2. Remove the reminder tag from the cable.
3. If needed, push the fish tape through the conduit from the PG2000 side.
NOTE
In many cases, AmerGlow cable may be fed through conduit without the use of a fish tape.
4. Attach the cable to fish tape at the poolside with duct or electrical tape, cover the fibers completely with tape.
5. Reel up fish tape while second person pushes the cable from the pool side. If necessary, apply electrician’s lube
on the cable as it is fed through.
a. Keep the last foot of cable on the lens side as straight as possible.
b. Be careful not to damage the lens assembly.
6. Stop feeding the cable when one foot is left on the pool side.
a. Make sure the lens O-ring and spacer O-ring (if applicable) are in position and clean.
b. Clean the O-ring sealing surface on the inner flange of the lens housing.
7. Continue to pull the cable until the lens assembly is 1 in. away from the seated position.
CAUTION
DO NOT snug the lens into place by pulling on the cable! This may cause the cable to pull away from the lens, and will impair
performance of the Termination.
8. Place the lens retaining nut onto the lens and PUSH the lens into place.
9. Hand tighten the lens using the lens tightening tool, until the O-ring is seated.

the
lens retaining nut ½ turn past the O-ring’s seated position.

Pull cable through conduit using electrician’s lube if needed.
3. Leave about one (1) ft. of cable extending past the lens housing, and about one (1) ft. above the PG2000
mounting surface. If desired, leave cable on spool and cut to exact length after lens is assembled.
