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.
