Connecting the ber cable
* The attachments to the ber cables need to be tted BEFORE
you insert the bers into the amplier. For details, refer to the
instruction manual enclosed with the bers.
1. Snap the ber lock lever 1 down as
far as it will go.
2. Insert the ber cables slowly into the
inlets until they stop (see note).
3. Return the ber lock lever to the
original position.

* With the coaxial reective type ber, such as FD-G4 or FD-FM2,
insert the single core ber cable into the inlet for the emitter 2
(inlet on the amplier is labeled “P”) and the multi-core ber
cable into the inlet for the receiver 3. If they are inserted the
wrong way round, the sensing performance will deteriorate.
