K WORLD-BEAM(R) QS18 Installing Fibers 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 (0.04 inches) 1.5 mm (0.06 inches) Figure 1. PFC-1 Cutting Device 1. Locate the control end of the fiber (the unfinished end). 2. Determine the length of fiber required for the application. If using a bifurcated fiber, separate the two halves of the fiber at least 51 mm (2 inches) beyond the fiber cutting location. 3. Lift the top (blade) of the cutter to open the cutting ports. 4. Insert one of the control ends through one of the cutting ports on the cutter so that the excess fiber protrudes from the back of the cutter. 5. Double-check the fiber length, and close the cutter until the fiber is cut. 6. Using a different cutting port, cut the second control end to the required length. NOTE: To ensure a clean cut each time, do not use a cutting port more than once. 7. Gently wipe the cut ends of the fiber with a clean, dry cloth to remove any contamination. Do not use solvents or abrasives on any exposed optical fiber. Installing Plastic Fibers QS18V..6FP Follow these steps to install the plastic fibers. A C Fiber end Adapter B Adapter Installation Figure 2. Installing Plastic Fibers 1. Slide the fiber gripper up to unlock it (A). 2. If using 0.25 mm or 0.5 mm core fibers, slide the plastic fiber adapters onto the fibers, flush with the fiber ends. 3. Carefully insert the prepared plastic fiber ends into the ports (B) as far as possible without applying extra force. 4. Slide the fiber gripper down to lock the fibers in place (C). P/N 63908 Rev.

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.
