Step 1 Coil the Fiberoptic cable loosely and place in the netting on top of the
FieldSpec spectroradiometer, as is shown in
Figure 6-1.
Do not leave the Fiberoptic cable in the external spool that attaches to the
outside of the Ergonomic Pro-Pack or the battery pouches on the belt.
WARNING! The fiber cable should never be stored with a bend of less
than a 5" diameter for long periods of time, because the
cable can be damaged with undetectable longitudinal
fractures that can cause light leakage and weaker signals.
Step 2 Place the spectroradiometer into the Ergonomic Pro-Pack with the plastic
end-caps towards the top and bottom of the pack.
The spectroradiometer can be oriented in the Ergonomic Pro-Pack with the
Fiberoptic cable either to the right or left. Cut-outs in the shipping case lid and
floor provide room for the Fiberoptic cable for either orientation.
Note: When facing the outside of the pack, we recommend putting the
Fiberoptic cable on the left (as shown in
Figure 6-1), this puts the
cable on top when placed into the shipping case.
