6.  Load a fiber into the fiber holding 

blocks. Swing the camera over the  
fiber. Incrementally lower the camera 
and adjust the magnification to get a 
good image of the fiber. 

 

7.  Advance the micrometer stop so it 

comes close to the fiber. Loosen the 
two screws in the top of the arm and 
adjust the position of the end piece 
until the micrometer stop is centered 
on the screen. The fiber must be 
visible. Rotate the camera within the 
holder until the fiber is perfectly 
horizontal on the screen. Tighten the 
two screws. 

 

8.  Advance the micrometer stop to 

ensure that there is even contact 
across the micrometer stop. That is to 
say, the micrometer stop should not be 
at an angle with respect to the fiber, 
and should touch it on the left at the 
same time as the right. If it does not, 
use shims to adjust the micrometer 
stop. 

 

1.  When the camera is not needed, the 

swing arm can be rotated 
counterclockwise into the storage 
position. Use the black post to move it 
to avoid altering the camera position 
with respect to the bracket.
