Installing The LWL In The Vehicle

The following limit values listed must not be exceeded when installing a LWL in the vehicle. 

Maximum permissible tensile load: 60 N (45 ftlb.)

Minimum bending radius after and during installation in the vehicle: 25 mm

Maximum number of torsions: 10 torsions per m

The following points must be observed when fitting the LWL and fitting wiring harnesses containing LWL: 

Damaged LWL must not be installed.

Before installing the LWL or wiring harness with LWL in the vehicle, it must be checked if the dust boots have been attached properly. If this is not the case, the LWL set must not be installed.

After and during the installation of LWL in the vehicle, the bending radius must not be smaller than 25 mm.

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 installing the LWL in the vehicle, the twisted LWL must be straightened out.

External forces on the LWL are to be avoided when installing the LWL in the vehicle.
