Fiber Installation for FP1 Clamp-Style Sensor Fiber Grips

1) If using a bifurcated fiber, first separate the two halves of the control end of the

fiber for a distance of two inches (minimum). Thread the control ends of the fiber

through the bushings (supplied with the fiber) until they extend through about 6

mm (0.25").

2) Slide the fibers with the bushings into the ports on the face of the MINI-BEAM until

the fibers stop. Slide the bushings further into the ports until they seat up against

the face of the MINI-BEAM. Hold the fibers and bushings in place.

3) While holding the fibers and bushings against the face of the MINI-BEAM, tighten

the clamp screw to secure the fibers and bushings in place.
