Make the installation as follows:
1) Remove plastic support and plastic tube. They are preventing fiber optic cable from bending
during transportation (Fig. 2.4).

2) Insert the free fiber optic cable through the second part of sensor head (Fig. 2.5).

3) Attach the sensor head parts together with threads. Loctite 268 is already added in threads
by manufacturer to seal the threads (Fig. 2.6).

4)
Insert the free fiber optic cable through the flexible conduit (Fig. 2.7). This is easiest, if the
conduit is lying straight on the floor and the fiber optic cable is at room temperature. If you
must pull, pull the fiber optic cable carefully from the outer jacket, not from the connectors.
The maximum force for pulling from 2 cables is 50 Newton (11 lbf). The minimum bending
radius is 50 mm (2").
