Next, locate the threaded Fiber Adapter (Figure 10). Screw the knurled thumbscrew all
the way in to make sure there is sufficient clearance, and then install the adapter onto
the instrument by threading it clockwise onto the mounting area. Do not tighten the
adapter just yet - maintaining some slack will make it easier to install the fiber optic
cable in the next step.

Next, loosen the thumbscrew and insert the keyed end of the fiber optic cable (Figure
11) through the hole in the Fiber Adapter and make sure the keyway on the cable al igns
properly with the key on the Fiber Alignment Plug. Do not force the cable.
Important: Verify that the keyed end of the cable goes into the adapter to ensure
proper alignment of the optical fibers and to avoid slit damage.
