Removing the FOP
If it is necessary to remove the FOP, for example, for replacement or transportation, please
follow this procedure carefully:
1. Ensure the attenuator cap is attached to the FOP.
2. Switch off the instrument and remove the main power cable and, if appropriate, the
stage controller power cable.
3. Carefully move the instrument to permit easier access to the rear panel.
4. Remove the plug in the socket marked LED FIBER #1.
5. Carefully remove the retained ends of the FOP by unscrewing and pulling the cables
away from the couplers perpendicularly.
Be extremely careful when removing the FOP as you can easily damage the instrument.
6. Replace the plastic caps on the ends of the FOP that have been removed from the rear
panel.
7. Fasten the retained screw-in caps onto the couplers on the rear panel.
8. Replace the fiber port cover assembly if required (see
Attaching the Fiber Port Cover
Assembly
on page 49).
9. Reconnect the power cables.
