its slot until connected to the optical interface board. 

6  Tighten the screws securing the module. Torque screws to 25 to 30 in-lbs (2.8 to 

3.4 Nm). 

7  Carefully reconnect any optical fibers that were removed from the original 

module. Clean optical connectors before reconnecting. See Care and Cleaning of 
Optical Connectors (on page 79) for cleaning procedure. 
 

    WARNING: 

Laser light hazard. Never look into the end of an optical fiber or connector. 
Failure to observe this warning can result in eye damage or blindness. 

 

8  Close the housing. See Opening and Closing the Housing (on page 68). 

Important: If you are using a Local Control Module in the node be sure to press 
the Auto Set-Up button on the cover of the LCM before you close the node 
housing. This allows the LCM to check for, and detect, installed modules. If the 
modules are not detected during this discovery process, they cannot be 
monitored and controlled by the LCM. The node must be powered and the 
modules operating properly in order to be detected. 

9  Perform the setup procedure in Chapter 4 to verify node performance. 

 

 

 

 

 

Optical receivers and transmitter modules have an integrated fiber spool inside the 
module housing. This allows the fiber pigtail to be spooled up and contained within 
the module housing. 

You may need to access this spool to clean or replace a fiber pigtail or connector. 

Follow this procedure to access the module fiber spool and connector. 
1  Pull up on the two module cover knurled tabs. Use a slight rocking motion. 

Note: If the module is out of the housing, it is easier to hold the module in both 
hands and push up on the two module cover knurled tabs with your thumbs. 
You can also insert a flat blade screwdriver into the cover release tab slot on the 
right side of the module housing to assist with opening the cover. 
The module cover opens as shown.
