Fiberplex WEN-6-1.5 User manual

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant and I've read the FiberPlex Waveguide Extension WEN-6 user manual. This document provides installation instructions for the waveguide extension, including preparing mounting surfaces and installing fiber optic cables. I'm ready to answer your questions about the device and its installation process.
  • What is the recommended mounting hole diameter?
    What is the maximum torque for the mounting nut?
    What is the torque for the cap screw?
    What should I do with the plug during installation?
GeneralInstallationInstructions

8. Removethefreemountingnutfromthebushing.
9. Threadtheextensiontubeontothewaveguideassembly,andadjustthedesiredspacingbetweenthemountingnutstoroughly
thethicknessofthewall.
10. Settheextensionlengthbyscrewingtheinternaljamnutintotheextensiontubeuntilsnugwiththewaveguidebushing.
11. Withoutchangingthepositionoftheinternaljamnut,removetheextensiontubefromthewaveguidebushing.
12. Placethebushingthroughthemountingholessothatthecableisfacingawayfromthemountingsurface.
13. Reassembletheextensionnutontheoppositesideofthemountingsurface.Tightenuntilthewaveguidebodyissnugagainstthe
internalbrassjamnut,andthentightenthemountingnutontheoppositesidetosnugagainstthewall.
14. Atthispoint,thewaveguideisinplacewiththeplughangingbyitscableononeside.Iftheinstallationappearstobeacceptable,
