2. Peel the paper off one side of the mounting tape.

3. Press the mounting strip onto the back of the Transmitter, making sure to line up the TID

hole on the WOFS unit with the hole in the mounting tape (see Figure 18).

4. Peel the paper from the second side of the mounting tape.

5. Press the WOFS unit onto the pre-determined, secured surface.

11 Setting up the Fiber Loop

The WOFS Transmitter is designed to work with polyethylene-jacketed, 1mm diameter, fiber

optic cable with a 2.2mm diameter jacket, such as Industrial Fiber Optics SH4001 Eska series

(part number 810004 or the equivalent).

The Transmitter has been designed for fiber optic connectors that do not require fiber polishing.

However, if many splices are incorporated in a long fiber loop, polishing will improve optical

transmission and reliability. Polishing may be accomplished using an Industrial Fiber Optics

Polishing Puck (part number 41 0156) along with Polishing Slurry (part number IF 370060).

1. Determine the length of fiber optic loop needed to secure the selected device, AND allow

enough cable to attach the Transmitter to a secured surface. Additionally, provide enough

cable to allow the cable to be inserted into the cable terminals at the top of the

Transmitter.

2. Cut the cable using a fiber optic cutter such as the Omron E39-F4 cutter (see Figure 19).

Use Industrial Fiber Optics IF-C-S4 or equivalent splice connectors to splice cable

together, if needed.
