provided with the S3 unit to help maintain the integrity of the fiber. The SMA905
connector of a fiber is inserted into laser output port located on the back side of the
housing. There is no need to frequently disconnect the fiber from the unit unless it
gets too short or requires a replacement.
When connecting a new fiber to a S3 unit:
NEVER touch the end of fiber or put on a dirty surface.
If contamination occurs, wipe the connector end with a soft fiber free tissue
soaked with alcohol. Allow alcohol to evaporate/ volatize before
attachment to the fiber port on the device body.
The optical fiber is made of a fused silica glass. Although it has a protection
buffer, it is still easy to break (sometimes internally) under localized
physical stress.
NEVER bend the fiber cable or apply excessive stress. Keep the
bending curvature radius larger than 50mm and at an angle of 90
degrees or greater.
NEVER pull the flexible part of the fiber cable when disconnecting from
the device. Hold the metallic part of the connector.
