Installing the Fiber Optic Cables

ColorSight has been optimized to work with the Allen-Bradley #60--2694

Fiber Optic Assembly. Other cables may be used also, but with a possible

reduction in performance.

Ensure that the fiber optic cable is installed with the emitter end in the

source side of the sensor (left entry when viewed from the sensor front

face) and the receiver end in the receive side of the sensor. The emitter

portion is identified in blue. Care should be taken to ensure that the fiber
optic cavity and fiber optic cables are securely seated.

Damage to fiber optic cable may occur if inserted and re-

moved with lever in locked position. Always grip by plastic

tips, not cable sheathing.
