7. Install the assembly into the mounting
hole in the XDS Process Analytics housing.
TIP:
With a multi-channel instrument, it is
helpful to have a neat appearance inside
the cabinet. Note where each fiber will
attach, and use a mounting hole nearby.
This avoids a “tangle” of fibers inside the
housing.
8. Place the nut (flat side against the
housing) over the Single Fiber. Thread
onto the ferrule as shown.
Tighten the nut using a ¾” (19mm) open-
end wrench. Tighten only enough to
compress the O-ring on the top side. Do
not break the ferrule by over-tightening.
9. Install the SMA connector onto the
correct channel, on either the Lamp Box
(source fiber) or the Multiplexer (return
fiber).
