Installing the Optical Fibers
Additionally required mounting material (not included in the scope of delivery):
☐ Optical fiber pigtails with subscriber connectors or
☐ Subscriber connectors
Requirement:
☐ The optical fibers must be inserted in the Power Plant Controller (see Section 11.1, page 49).
Procedure:
1. Loosen the cable gland of the module.
2. Insert the optical fibers through the cable gland into the module.
3. Strip sufficient insulation off the optical fibers.
4. Install the optical fibers:
• If optical fiber pigtails are used, splice the optical fibers with the optical fiber pigtails and fasten the splice points
in the splice holders.
• If subscriber connectors are used, install the subscriber connectors on the optical fibers.
• Push the plug down until it locks in the adapters.
5. Position the fiber in the fiber holder. Observe the bend radii of the optical fibers.
6. Tighten the cable gland.
Installing the Network Cables
Requirement:
☐ The network cables must be inserted in the Power Plant Controller (see Section 11.1, page 49).
Procedure:
1. Take the RJ45 Keystone pin connectors out of the accessory kit.
2. Connect the network cables to the RJ45 Keystone pin connectors (see Section 11.2.3, page 52).
3. Push the RJ45 Keystone pin connectors down until they lock in the cutouts of the module.
4. Secure the network cables to the metal bracket with the Velcro strip provided.

Damage to eyes due to visible and invisible laser radiation
The Power Plant Controller contains laser components. The laser beam is emitted at the end of the optical fiber.
Looking directly into the laser beam can cause eye damage.
• Do not look into the laser beam.
• Do not look at the laser beam using optical instruments.
• Do not point the laser beam at persons.

Damage to optical fibers due to too tight bend radii
Excessive bending or kinking of optical fibers will damage the fibers.
• Observe the minimum permissible bend radii of the optical fibers.
