Fiber Connection and Disconnection
The E3X Amplifier Unit has a lock lever. Connect or
disconnect the fibers to or from the E3X Amplifier Unit using
the following procedures:
1. Connection
Open the Protective Cover, insert the fibers according to the
fiber insertion marks on the side of the Amplifier Unit, and
lower the lock lever.

Note: If one of the fibers from the Fiber Unit has a white line, such as with a Coaxial
Sensor, that fiber is for the Emitter. Insert it into the Emitter section. Refer to
Dimensions for the Fiber Unit to see if there is an Emitter fiber.
2. Disconnection
Remove the Protective Cover and raise the lock lever to pull out the fiber.

Removing Connectors
1. Slide the slave Amplifier Unit for which the Connector is to
be removed away from the rest of the group.
2. After the Amplifier Unit has been separated, press down on
the lever on the Connector and remove it. (Do not attempt
to remove Connectors without separating them from other
Amplifier Units first.)

Mounting End Plate (PFP-M)
Depending on how it is mounted, an Amplifier Unit may move
during operation. In this case, use an End Plate.
Before mounting an End Plate, remove the clip from the
master Amplifier Unit using a nipper or similar tool.
Note:To maintain the fiber properties, confirm that the lock is
released before removing the fiber.
3. Precautions for Fiber Connection/Disconnection
Be sure to lock or unlock the lock lever within an ambient
temperature range between −10°C and 40°C.
● Operating Environment
Ambient Conditions
If dust or dirt adhere to the hole for optical communications, it
may prevent normal communications. Be sure to remove any
