ļ Insert the SMA connector of the fiber completely into the SMA socket and
screw the union nut tight. Do not twist or bend the fiber!
I. Turn on the unit by the switch on the left side of the unit and check the optical
quality of the fiber output via the red aiming beam. Aim the hand piece
perpendicular to the surface to shine the red beam.
The edge of the aiming beam spot should not be "frayed." A frayed edge
indicates defects or soiling of one or both fiber ends.
Reference red dot images in Cleaving the fiber section.
J. Connect the foot pedal cable to the unit.
Note
To protect the optical components in the device, the SMA905 socket in the
unit must always be closed (with either a fiber cable or a protective cap).
Note
Only use fibers with clean fiber ends.
Note
The fiber plug must be correctly screwed into the SMA socket to keep the
light fiber from premature aging. Check this by moving the plug back and
forth in an axial direction near the kink protection. Axial play means that the
bare fiber is not correctly connected to the unit.
