a. If applicable, make sure the spacer and spacer O-ring are in position and clean. The spacer is marked
“This Side Toward Pool”.
b. Clean the O-ring sealing surface on inner flange of lens housing.
c. Feed or pull the cable until the lens assembly is about 1 in. away from the seated position.
CAUTION
DO NOT
seat lens housing by pulling on cable. This may cause the cable to pull away from the lens, and impair light performance.
d. Place the lens retaining nut onto the lens and
PUSH
the lens into place.
e. Hand tighten the lens using the lens tightening tool, until the O-ring is seated.
•
For Standard Gunite and Fiberglass lens housings (which do not use the spacer and spacer O-ring),
hand tighten
¼ turn past the seated O-ring position.
•
For Invisible Gunite and Vinyl Liner housings (which use the spacer and spacer O-ring),
hand tighten
the lens retaining nut ½ turn past the O-ring’s seated position.

SECTION VII. Installing the Ferrule Assembly, see Pictures on pg. 19
A. Preparing and installing the cable
WARNING
FiberKnife reaches extreme temperatures. Grasp only by the handle. Failure to follow these directions can lead to severe burns.
1. Plug in FiberKnife, and allow to heat for 15 minutes, out of the wind.
2. Mechanically cut all cables to equal length about 14 in. above the top of the Sub-terrain Base.
3. Use the cable stripping tool to strip back cable jacket 0 to 2 in. above the PG2000 base.
a. Adjust the stripper and practice a few times on an extra piece of cable if you haven’t used it before.
The blade should be exposed about the thickness of the cable jacket.
b. Adjust the cutting depth by turning the black knob on the end of the cable stripper.
c. Push the spring tension guide open with thumb, and place stripper on cable as shown in Figure 3.
d. Rotate the stripper around the cable with the black knob turning toward opening; as shown in Figure 4.
e. The cable stripper blade is directional - if it does not cut properly, be sure that the blade is in correct
orientation.
f. Once jacket is almost separated remove stripper and bend jacket to finish separation and remove jacket.
g. Fan the fiber ends to remove the excess powder from them.
B. Loading the fiber into the ferrule
1. Gather all of the stripped cable ends together evenly and apply
ONE
wrap of electrical tape around the fibers
at the end.
a. Fan the fiber ends to remove any excess powder from between the fibers.
