E39-F10 Fiber Connector
Use the following procedure (refer to the figure) to connect fibers via
the Fiber Connector.

Fiber Unit
Each Fiber Unit should be as close as possible before they are con-
nected.
Sensing distance will be reduced by approximately 25% when fibers
are connected.
Only fibers with 2.2-mm dia. can be connected.
Protective Spiral Tube
Insert a fiber to the Protective Spiral Tube from the head connector
side (screwed) of the tube.

tube
Push the fiber into the Protective Spiral Tube. The tube should be
straight so that the fiber is not twisted when inserted. Then turn the
end cap of the spiral tube.
