MODEL 219.3 With Media Oriented System Transport (MOST)
The following handling notes must be observed for all repair work which requires optical fiber couplings to be disconnected.
Otherwise the transmitted light pulses will be dampened and the quality of data transfer impaired.
- For repair work, the protective caps of the fiber optic cables at the device connection or at the connector of the optical wiring harness must not be prematurely detached.
- Separated fiber optic cable couplings must be immediately covered.
- Do not kink the fiber optic cable, route over sharp edges or in radii smaller than 25 mm.
- The fiber optic cable must not be exposed to temperatures higher than 85 °C or lower than -40 °C.
The protective caps of the fiber optic cables at the device connection or at the connector of the optical wiring harness cannot be separately acquired. The protective caps of the installed replacement parts or clean rags can be used.
