- As the DTSXL System is to be installed vertically on a wall, sensor optical fibers
must be supported. The DTRK10 rack mount kit (option) is recommended for this
purpose.
The DTRK10 rack mount kit is designed to support sensor optical fibers and cords
which are no more than 3 mm in diameter. If thicker cables or cords are used, a
suitable shelf must be provided to support the cables.
Figure Example of Cable Routing using the DTRK10
CAUTION
If sensor optical fibers do not satisfy the relevant requirements or are wrongly routed or
connected, the DTSX3000 may fail to perform to specifications.
Ensure that selected sensor optical fibers meet DTSX3000 specification requirements
and are routed and connected in compliance with cable specifications.
A5.4.3. Connecting a Sensor optical fiber
Follow the procedure below to connect the optical connector of a sensor optical fiber to
the optical connector of the DTSX3000.
Connection Procedure:
1. Firstly, ensure that the sensor optical fiber is routed properly.
Ensure that the optical fiber is optimally formed so that its optical connector mates
with the corresponding optical connector on the DTSX3000 with no stress.
2. Stop the operation of the DTSX3000.
The power need not be switched off as long as the DTSX3000 is idle.
3. Ensure that the optical fiber and its optical connector meet the DTSX3000
specification requirements.
In particular, even if two optical connectors to be mated are of the same type,
ensure that their end face treatment and angles are also the same. For example,
PC and APC (angled PC) types look the same but are not compatible with each
other.
