WORLD-BEAM QS18 1.3 Installing Fibers 1.3.1 Cutting Unterminated Plastic Fibers QS18V..6FP Unterminated plastic fibers are designed to be cut by the user to the length required for the application. To facilitate cutting, a Banner model PFC-1 cutting device is supplied with the fiber. Cut the fiber as follows: Lift to Open Ports Use small ports for fiber sizes: • • Cutting Ports 0.25 mm (0.01 inches) 0.5 mm (0.02 inches) Use large ports for fiber sizes: • • • 0.75 mm (0.03 inches) 1.0 mm (0.
WORLD-BEAM QS18 1.3.3 Installing Glass Fibers QS18V..6F Follow these steps to install the glass fibers. Retaining Clip O-rings Figure 3. Installing Glass Fibers 1. Slide the supplied o-ring on the sensor end of the fibers, as shown. 2. Press the fiber ends firmly into the ports located on the front of the sensor. 3. Slide the supplied u-shaped retaining clip into the slot in the sensor’s barrel until the clip snaps into place. 1.
