General Rules
As a matter of principle, avoid:
- any contamination of the connector, e.g., dust or
finger prints
- unnecessary mating cycles.
- any mechanical stress of the optical fiber (bending,
crushing, pulling, twisting, knotting etc.).
- tight curvature of the optical fiber because the glass
fiber is damaged in the process and this causes per-
manent damage.
Never bend the cable more tightly than the permissible
bending radius.
IMS5200-TH / IMS5200MP-TH
Fixed:
R = 30 mm or more
Flexible:
R = 40 mm or more
Mounting, Mounting Adapter
The sensors use an optical measuring principle that
allows for measurements in the nm range.
i
Ensure careful handling during installation and
operation.
Mount the sensors with an outer clamp. Use the
MA5400-10 mounting adapter from the optional
accessories.
This type of sensor installation
ensures the highest level of
reliability because the sensor's
cylindrical cover is clamped
over a relatively large area.
