PEM-320 Operation Manual
7.7. Changing the Optical Connector
The PEM-320 has been to designed to enable the optical connector socket to be easily changed
from FC type to SC type without affecting the optical alignment and hence the accuracy of the
measurement. The procedure is described below.
CAUTION
When replacing the connector socket ensure that it is correctly seated against the
PEM-320 unit. If the connector socket is not flat to the face of the PEM-320 when
the fixing screws are tightened the optical connector may become damaged or
misaligned.
1. Unscrew the two fixing screws on either side of the optical connector socket.
2. Pull the connector socket forward away from the PEM-320 unit.
3. Ensure that there is no dirt or dust on the replacement connector socket. Ensure that the
alignment notch in the connector socket is facing upwards and carefully push the connector
socket over the alignment ferrule.
4. Ensure the connector socket is correctly seated and flat with the face of the PEM-320 unit.
Replace the two fixing screws and tighten finger tight. Do not overtighten the screws as this
may cause damage to the unit.
