•
Cut the micropipe (5) to the appropriate
length for the gas blocker (3) which is
being used.
•
Strip an appropriate length of the fibre
optic cable (2).
•
Insert the retainer clip (4) for fixing the
micropipe in place into the recess provided
for this purpose. Note: Spacer struts
(Fig. 5) should face towards opening.
•
Establish cable strain relief:
- Shorten exposed aramid yarn to 100 mm.
- Fasten aramid yarn to the housing
using the notched screw provided (1).
- Carefully cut off any protruding
aramid yarn.
•
Insert the adaptors without a flange (SC
simplex/LC duplex) (2) into the available
mounting supports from underneath.
•
If the micropipe is inserted on the left side,
the pigtails need to be routed into the ex-
cess length storage on the right side.
•
Store the crimp splice protector in the
crimp splice protector storage in two
stacked levels (1).
•
For designs with heat shrink splice protec-
tors, store in the heat shrink splice protec-
tor storage in three stacked levels.
•
Note: If the micropipe is inserted on the
right side, the setup should be a mirror
image.
•
Insert the adaptors without a flange (SC
simplex/LC duplex) (2) into the available
mounting supports from underneath.
•
If the micropipe is inserted on the left
side, the pigtails need to be routed into
the excess length storage on the left
side.
•
Store the splitter (1) in the fixture
provided.
•
Proceed with the crimp splice protector/
heat shrink splice protector as
shown in item 4.3.
•
Note: If the micropipe is inserted on the
right side, the setup should be a mirror
image.
