LET CUT PIECES OF FIBER STICK TO CLOTHING OR DROP IN THE WORK AREA WHERE
THEY ARE HARD TO SEE AND CAN CAUSE INJURY.
4. LASER LIGHT PROTECTION
USE OF CONTROLS OR PERFORMANCE OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY
RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE. THE POWER OF EMISSION OF THE LASER
BEAM EXCEEDS 1MW IN CLASS II AND IS LESS THAN 5MW IN CLASS IIIA/3R, SO THE
FOLLOWING WARNINGS MUST BE FOLLOWED TO AVOID INJURY:
• NEVER POINT THE LASER INTO THE EYES OF OTHERS.
• DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY AT THE LASER BEAM.
• DO NOT SET UP TOOL TO WORK AT EYE LEVEL OR OPERATE THE TOOL ON A
REFLECTIVE SURFACE AS THE LASER COULD BE PROJECTED INTO YOUR EYES OR
THE EYES OF OTHERS.
ALWAYS TURN THE LASER OFF WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE OR IS LEFT UNATTENDED FOR A
PERIOD OF TIME. REMOVE THE BATTERIES WHEN STORING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
TIME TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE TOOL SHOULD THE BATTERIES DETERIORATE.
NEVER LOOK INTO THE PATH OF THE VISUAL FAULT LOCATOR OR ANY OTHER LASER
BEAM.
NEVER LOOK INTO THE END OF A FIBER WHICH MAY HAVE ANY VISUAL FAULT LOCATOR,
OR ANY OTHER LASER, COUPLED TO IT.
NEVER LAUNCH ANY VISUAL FAULT LOCATOR INTO ACTIVE EQUIPMENT OR MICROSCOPE.
MAKE SURE THAT THE END OPPOSITE THE VISUAL FAULT LOCATOR IS NOT CONNECTED
TO ANY ELECTRONICS OR ACTIVE EQUIPMENT DURING TERMINATION.
5. CABLE HANDLING
WARNING: FIBER OPTIC CABLE CAN BE DAMAGED BY EXCESSIVE PULLING, TWISTING,
CRUSHING OR BENDING STRESSES. CONSULT THE APPROPRIATE SPECIFICATION SHEETS
AS PROVIDED BY YOUR CABLE VENDOR. ANY DAMAGE MAY DECREASE OPTICAL

Cut 2" sections of heat shrink tubing. Heat shrink the heat shrink tubing over the grommet, part of the
exposed ribbon (on the tray side of the grommet) and transport tubing to secure the fiber to the transport
tubing. The PANDUIT SE25PSC-TR0 braided sleeving is the recommended transport tubing.
Using cable ties, secure the fiber to the splice tray as shown.
FST48 - Loose Tube Fiber
Note that the FST48 splice tray is not recommended for tight buffered fiber.

The incoming and outgoing fiber should be grouped together as shown. The buffer tubes will be secured
directly to the tray and should be positioned over the cable tie holes as shown. The grommets are not
required in this arrangement.
It is recommended that transport tubing is used to keep the buffer tubes bundled. Cut 2" sections of heat
shrink tubing. Heat shrink the heat shrink tubing over the exposed buffer tubes and transport tubing to
secure the fiber to the transport tubing. The PANDUIT SE25PSC-TR0 braided sleeving is the recommended transport tubing.
Using cable ties, secure the fiber to the splice tray as shown.
