6) Fiber Connection / Termination at BriteSpot®
Plus Conversion Module
a. Determine Trim Location
Once the fibers have been secured
along their length, they can be
prepared for final installation. Ensure
enough length has been allocated to
reach the BriteSpot Plus conversion
module and then cut. It is best to leave
at least 25-50 mm (1-2”) of extra fiber as
a precautionary measure.
b. Trim the Fiber
Slide the fiber through any of the holes
on the provided guillotine trimmer.
Once inserted into the location to be
cut, push down briskly on the trimmer
to complete the cut.
Note: Each location on the trimmer
should not be used more than 10
times. It is best keep track of the
locations that have already been
used. Using a cut location more
than 10 times will result in poor
cuts and reduced optical power.

Once the fiber is cut, it is imperative to ensure
the cut end is kept clean and free from debris.
If the end becomes contaminated, trim off
several millimeters.
c. Connect the Fiber to Conversion
Module
Ensure the cut surface of the fiber
is clean. Fully disengage the fiber
retention nuts on each sensor. This is
done by turning them counterclockwise
several turns. They are designed to
stay in place once disengaged; if they
are inadvertently removed they can be
replaced by pushing them back on.
Insert the fibers individually into the
appropriate optical connector until
they come to a hard stop. The stop
will be very noticeable and does not
require excessive force. Secure the fiber
retention nut with moderate force by
screwing it in clockwise as shown in
Figure 27. Do not over tighten. If too
much force is applied it may break.
