8. y Solid Core Optical Fiber Installation To achieve the maximum performance and long service life BL optical fiber is capable of please observe the following installation guidelines LED Illuminators are capable of lighting optical fiber up to 50ft when both ends of the fiber are illuminated looped back to the illuminator Single ended installations are typically limited to 20ft The surrounding environment will have a dramatic affect on the apparent brightness of illuminated fiber Expectations of performance must be accurately gauged to achieve a satisfactory result Certain colours of the spectrum appear brighter to the human eye than others For instance yellow will appear much brighter than red When installing fiber care should be taken to not scratch or mar the surface When the fiber leaves the illuminator it should come out in a straight line for a few feet Do not bend it immediately The focus of the illuminator is critical The illuminator should be focused on the ends of the fiber in a manner that presents uniform illumination to the fiber ends The fiber must be installed into the illuminator on axis to the centerline of the light source Fiber installed at an angle will not transmit as much light as fiber that is properly aligned Push in the optical fiber into the LED illuminator fitting Turn fastening to tighten the fiber in place Screw in the fitting to the LED illuminator main connection port as demonstrated in the figure below
