The following procedure is recommended for installing and aligning the  
FC-446-021-U and fiber optic bundles.  
1. Remove the entrance slit shipping cover to expose the slit baffle as shown  
below.  
4 Slotted Screws  
2. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, remove the 4 slotted screws from the slit  
assembly.  
3. Remove the existing baffle from the slit assembly and install the 7/8” round  
baffle. See photograph below. Open the slit to approximately .5 mm.

4. Mount the fiber optic input assembly with the 4 X 8-32 X 3/8” socket head  
cap screws provided.  
Fiber Cable and adapters:  
There are 4 different fiber cable/adapter set up configurations available for the input  
of the FC-446-021-U adapter assembly. Determine the type of fiber bundle to be  
installed. Install the desired fiber bundle as described in Set Up 1, 2, 3 or 4. After  
the installation, proceed to the Alignment Procedure on page 8.

Set Up 1: FC Fiber Cable  
If the fiber cable has a single FC fiber, attach the FC adapter as shown below.  
Single fiber FC Cable  
FC Cable attached to FC Adapter  
Gently slide the cable/fiber assembly into the fiber optic input assembly so the  
end of the fiber adapter contacts the slits. Now pull the adapter back  
approximately .1 mm so it is no longer contacting the slits. Lock the fiber into  
place by tightening down the 3 set screws on the fiber optic input assembly. Do  
not move the cable so it contacts the slits while you are locking it into place.  
Contact with the slits can make them inoperable.  
Locking  
Set Screws  
Lock the Cable/Adapter into place with the 3 set screws.  
CAUTION: Never force the fiber optic bundle against the slits or  
permanent damage may result.

Set Up 2: SMA Fiber Cable  
If the fiber cable has a single SMA fiber, attach the SMA adapter as shown  
below.  
Single Fiber SMA Cable

Gently slide the cable/fiber assembly into the fiber optic input assembly so the  
end of the fiber adapter contacts the slits. Now pull the adapter back  
approximately .1 mm so it is no longer contacting the slits. Lock the fiber into  
place by tightening down the 3 set screws on the fiber optic input assembly. Do  
not move the cable so that it contacts the slits while you are locking it into place.  
Contact with the slits can make them inoperable.

Set Up 3: 10 mm Diameter Sleeve with a single fiber  
Install the 10 mm sleeve to the X-Y adapter and lock it into place by tightening  
down the 3 set screws surrounding the adapter. Now gently slide the cable/fiber  
into the entrance of the fiber optic input assembly so the end of the fiber adapter  
contacts the slits. Now pull the adapter back approximately .1 mm so it is no  
longer contacting the slits. Lock the fiber into place by tightening down the set  
screw on the 10 mm sleeve. See below.  
CAUTION: Never force the fiber optic bundle against the slits or  
permanent damage may result.

Set Up 4: 10 mm Diameter Sleeve with multiple fibers aligned in a row  
Install the 10 mm sleeve to the X-Y adapter and lock it into place by tightening  
down the 3 set screws surrounding the adapter. Note the orientation of the fibers  
in the sleeve of the fiber cable. Orient the fibers vertically and gently slide the  
cable/fiber into the entrance of the fiber optic input assembly so the end of the  
fiber adapter contacts the slits. Now pull the adapter back approximately .1 mm  
so it is no longer contacting the slits. Verify that the fibers are aligned vertically  
and then tighten down the set screw.  
Alignment Procedure:  
1. Adjust the vertical adjustment micrometer until the image of the fiber is  
centered in the height of the CCD or the center of the exit slit.  
2. Slowly reduce the entrance slit width to approximately the fiber core diameter  
of the fiber while adjusting the horizontal adjustment micrometer to center the  
fiber on the entrance slit for maximum signal.  
Note: If the fiber bundle consists of a series of fibers aligned vertically, it may  
be necessary to rotate the fiber to vertically align the fibers with the slit  
during this procedure.  
3. The fiber is now properly aligned.
