Now, make sure that the connector of the fiber you want to attach matches the receptacle type of the laser
beam coupler:
• Use fibers with FC-APC (8°-polish) connectors for laser beam couplers with an inclined coupling
axis (60SMS-4).
• Use fibers with FC-PC (0°-polish) connectors for laser beam couplers with a coaxial axis
(60SMS-0).
The laser beam couplers are compatible to all fiber connectors type FC, including fiber connectors with end
caps.
• Do not touch either the optical surface of the lens or the fiber end-face.
• If the coupler is not in use, reattach both rear and front protection caps.
Notice:
Refer to the laser instruction manual for all instructions regarding laser
safety!
• Do not stare directly into the laser beam (which can cause permanent
damage to the eyes).
• Do not stare at the reflected beam from reflective objects.
• Do not point the laser beam to other individuals.
Caution!
2. Attaching a Fiber Cable to the Laser Beam Coupler
For attaching a fiber cable to the laser beam coupler perform the following steps:
