General Instructions on Handling
Please keep to the following handling instructions to avoid damage:
Caution
Make sure that the selected cable is suitable for your particular application.
•
You should, for example, check the following:
-
Required temperature range
-
Properties of the jacket materials with regards to chemicals, water, oils, rodents etc. to
which the cable will be exposed in your application
-
Required mechanical properties (bending radii, tensile strain, transverse compression)
-
Requirements of the fire properties of the cable
-
Suitability of the cable including the connector system for the devices to be connected
If in doubt, use a special cable that will meet your requirements. Your SIMATIC NET contact
•
in your Siemens branch will be happy to advise you.
Never exceed the maximum permitted forces (tensile strain, transverse compression etc.)
•
specified in the data sheets of the cable you are using. Excessive transverse compression
can, for example, arise when using screw-down clamps to secure the cable.
Only use the PCF Fibre-optic cables with devices that are approved for these cables. Keep
•
within the maximum permitted cable lengths.
When cutting cable sections to length, make sure that no loops result and that the cable is
•
not twisted. Loops and torsion can lead to kinks or tears and therefore damage to the cable.
Follow the steps described in the assembly instructions and use only the tools specified
•
there.
Make sure that the outer jacket, the jackets of the cores, and the PCF optical Fibres are not
•
damaged.
When stripping the core jacket, use only the opening labeled 1.0 mm on the stripping pliers.
•
Dents or scratches can allow light to escape and increase the attenuation values and cause
•
link failure. Over time, these can also lead to breaks in Fibres causing network failure.
Never insert contaminated plugs or plugs with Fibres jutting out of the head surface into the
•
device sockets. This could destroy the optical send and receive elements.
When assembling adapters for connectors and when connecting the cable to them, make
•
sure that send and receive data are crossed in the cable.
•
Close unused connectors with dust protection caps. Remove the dust protection caps only
immediately before connecting cables together or plugging cables into devices
Caution
!
Wear protective glasses during cleaving.
•
•
Dispose of the Fibre remnants in a suitable container.
