Assembling of the ZS1022-0010 IP-Link Plug (clip type)

Preparation (Exploded view)

A: fiber optic

B: outer jacket

C: Kevlar fiber

D: fiber jacket

E: fiber core

F: locking cap

G: O-ring

H: sleeve

I: connector housing

  1. Strip cable jacket according to indicated lengths of outer and fiber jacket.
    ATTENTION:
    The fiber core should not be damaged!
  2. Cut the Kevlar fiber to the same length of the outer jacket.
    ATTENTION:
    In order to reach maximum clamping force outer and fiber jacket have to be free of deformation (scores, etc.) as well as of grease, oil and lubricant.

Assembly

  1. Pull the sleeve over the outer jacket and the O-ring over the locking cap.
  2. Insert the prepared fiber-optic in the connector housing until outer jacket hits L and fiber jacket hits K simultaneously.
  3. Align the connector housing as required in order to prevent a possible torsion of cable.
  4. Pull the sleeve over the connector housing until it radially latches.
  5. Press the locking cap into the connector housing until all 4 nibs latch. This operation can be implemented without tools or with corresponding pliers. Keep correct mounting position M of the locking cap. The correct mounting of the O-ring can be checked with the latching holes N.

Surface treatment

  1. Treat the fiber core with grinding gauge O up to the final dimension and intended quality.
    For this purpose take sand paper with grain size 600, and work on a smooth surface.
  2. Insert the mounted connector in the grinding gauge and treat the surface with a rotary movement.
  3. Remove grinding dust with a clean lint-free cloth.
  4. Check the quality of the grinded surface.
    The surface has to be smooth and free of scratches, grooves and splinters.

Disassembly

  1. Apply appropriate tool at cut-out P or Q.
  2. Lift out the locking cap from the closed connector housing.
    ATTENTION:
    Damaged or deformed components should not be applied again after disassembly.
  3. Prepare fiber-optic sensor after disassembly according to point 1 again.
