General: Locate fiber optic modules as indicated on the approved detail drawings and install module in compliance with the IFS installation and operations manual. TESTING Testing the Fiber Optic Contact Mapping Link. Verify that the contact leads and optical fibers are properly connected. Make sure that power is applied to all fiber optic modules, controllers, and receiver drivers or other equipment used in the system. Successful contact mapping operation should be confirmed at this point by using the switches to toggle the contacts open and closed. CLEANING Follow all instructions for proper use of solvents and adhesives used for termination and splicing. At completion of the installation, dispose of all fiber scraps properly.
