Read this section before installing your measurement system to be aware of the
operating requirements and clearance requirements including possible hazardous
areas when the measurement system is connected to the DUT.
The measurement system consists of quality parts and should be treated with care
to avoid damage or degrading the performance due to mishandling. Consider the
following precautions when handling the fiber-optic cables and sensor tip cables:
Do not crush, crimp, or sharply bend the fiber-optic cable. Avoid making
loops in the fiber-optic cable smaller than 5 inches (12.7 cm).
Do not twist the fiber-optic cable; twisting the cable will stress the optical
fibers.
Do not allow kinks or knots to develop in the fiber-optic cable.
Avoid putting tension on the fiber-optic cable.
Do not pull or jerk the fiber-optic cable, especially when kinks or knots are
present.
Do not drop the sensor head or controller assembly since damage and
misalignment of the internal optical components can result.
Avoid over-bending the sensor tip cables; do not exceed the minimum bend
radius of 2.0 inches (5.1 cm).
Avoid crushing the cables by accidentally running over the cable with a chair
wheel or by dropping a heavy object onto the cable.
Never support the weight of the sensor head or controller by the fiber-optic
cable.
Store the measurement system in the supplied carrying case when not in use.
