110 9 November 2001 Transmitters
Connect the optical fiber as follows:
1. Set the transmitter’s key switch in the OFF position.
CAUTION
The bulkhead and optical connector on a Diamond
Transport transmitter are covered by a protective shield.
To make connections or to clean connectors, you must
remove the two screws holding the shield in place and
then remove the shield. DO NOT put the screws back
into the transmitters without the shield; doing so dam-
ages the Laser Safety Interlock switch.
Do not bend or twist optical fibers.
2. Loosen the screws holding the shield in place, and
remove the shield.
FC Connector: Turn the
threaded collar clockwise to
tighten it onto the bulkhead.
SC or E2000 Connector: If
you don’t hear or feel the
connector engage with the
bulkhead, gently grasp the
boot on the connector and
push it into the bulkhead.
When properly installed, the
connector clicks into position.
3. Clean the optical connectors (located in the bulkhead,
behind the shield). See Cleaning Optical Connections:
Transmitter Connectors and Bulkheads.
4. Remove the cap from the forward fiber side of the
bulkhead
