Connecting the LDS 6, optics housing CD 6

Connecting the transmitter optics housing
Install the cables, hybrid and sensor connection cable, at the transmitter optics housing
according to the figure below. Cables are fixed in the optics housing with gaskets. Always use
lubricant on the gaskets before installing, otherwise these will be very difficult to remove later.
Multi-mode fiber (SMA connector) and the power supply are just connected straight through to
the receiver.
Note
During installation make sure that the ambient temperature is always within the range specified
in section Hybrid and sensor connection cables (Page 61).
Note
Always protect the single-mode fiber (E2000 connector) from dust. Do not remove the plastic
vial until the cable is firmly fastened in the optics housing.
