Installing Plastic Fibers QS18V..6FP
Follow these steps to install the plastic fibers.
1. Slide the fiber gripper up to unlock it (A).
2. If using 0.25 mm or 0.5 mm core fibers, slide the plastic fiber adapters onto the fibers, flush with the fiber ends.
3. Carefully insert the prepared plastic fiber ends into the ports (B) as far as possible without applying extra force.
4. Slide the fiber gripper down to lock the fibers in place (C).
Installing Glass Fibers QS18V..6F
Follow these steps to install the glass fibers.
1. Slide the supplied o-ring on the sensor end of the fibers, as shown.
2. Press the fiber ends firmly into the ports located on the front of the sensor.
3. Slide the supplied u-shaped retaining clip into the slot in the sensor's barrel until the clip snaps into place.
