Installing optical waveguides in the vehicle
The limit values listed below must not be exceeded when installing an optical waveguide in the vehicle:
- Maximum permissible tensile load: 60 N
- Minimum bending radius after and during installation in vehicle: 25 mm
- Maximum number of torsions: 10 torsions per m
The following points must be observed when installing optical waveguides and wiring harnesses containing optical waveguides:
- Damaged optical waveguides must not be installed.
- Before installing the optical waveguide or the wiring harness with optical waveguide into the vehicle, you must check whether the protective dust caps have been attached properly. If this is not the case, the optical waveguide set must not be installed.
- After and during installation of the optical waveguide into the vehicle, the minimum bending radius of 25 mm must be maintained.
- During installation of the optical waveguide into the vehicle, the optical guide must not be pulled to set the length of the wiring harness (max. tensile load 60 N) and the optical guide must not be twisted or coiled up.
- After installation of the optical waveguide into the vehicle, twisted optical guides must be straightened.
- Lateral forces on the optical waveguides must always be avoided during installation of the optical waveguide into the vehicle.
