To facilitate cutting, a Banner model PFC-1 cutting device is supplied with the fiber. Cut the fiber as follows: 1) Locate the control end of the fiber (the unfinished end). Determine the length of fiber required for the application. Lift the top (blade) of the cutter to open the cutting ports. Insert one of the control ends through one of the four large cutting ports on the PFC-1 cutter so that the excess fiber protrudes from the back of the cutter. 2) Double-check the fiber length, and close the cutter until the fiber is cut. Using a different cutting port, cut the second control end to the required length. 3) Gently wipe the cut ends of the fiber with a clean, dry cloth to remove any contamination. Do not use solvents or abrasives on any exposed optical fiber. Do not use a cutting port more than once. The blade may tend to dull after one cut. MINI-BAM Fiber Installation Information Lift to Open Ports PFC-1 Cutter (supplied with fiber) Cutting Ports 4-Large 2-mall Use small ports for.25 mm (.1 in) and.5 mm (.2 in) fibers Use large ports for.75 mm (.3 in), 1. mm (.4 in), and 1.5 mm (.6 in) fibers 1) If using a bifurcated fiber, first separate the two halves of the control end of the fiber for a distance of two inches (minimum). Thread the control ends of the fiber through the bushings (supplied with the fiber) until they extend through about (.25 ). 2) lide the fibers with the bushings into the ports on the face of the MINI-BAM until the fibers stop. lide the bushings farther into the ports until they seat up against the face of the MINI-BAM. Hold the fibers and bushings in place. 3) While holding the fibers and bushings against the face of the MINI- BAM, tighten the clamp screw to secure the fibers and bushings in place.

Temperature: -2 to +7 C (-4 to +158 F) Maximum Relative Humidity: 9% at 5 C (non-condensing) Application Notes i) ac MINI-BAMs may be destroyed from overload conditions ii) Use on low voltage requires careful analysis of the load to determine if the leakage current or on-state voltage of the sensor will interfere with proper operation of the load iii) The false-pulse protection feature may cause momentary drop-out of the load when the sensor is wired in series or parallel with mechanical switch contacts Certifications VALOX is a registered trademark of General lectric Company page 3
