Warnings and Cautions

Follow the installation instruction steps to ensure the performance of the closure. It is necessary to take precautions and keep the working space clean to protect the closure sealing materials and splices.
Exposure to laser radiation can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not assume the laser power is turned off or that the fiber is disconnected at the other end. Looking into the ends of any optical fiber is entirely at your own risk. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating adapter or optical fiber connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the connector and adapter.
Fiber optic cables may be damaged if bent or curved to a radius that is less than the recommended minimum bend radius. Always observe the recommended bend radius limit when installing fiber optic cables, subunits and patch cords.

Closure preparation

Open the latches

To open the closure, open the latches.
Rotate the cover. Verify the long seal remains correctly seated within the closure cavity.

Install the hinges in another position
The hinges are pre-installed on the left side. However it is possible to install them in another position. First the hinges should be removed.

Remove the hinges

Remove the cover from the base.
- Push on the snap features under the hinge on the base.
- Slide the cover with the hinges over the snap features.
Use a screw driver to disassemble the hinges from the cover.
Lift the hinges up and then remove.

Re-install the hinges

The hinges can be installed on the left or right of the cover.

Slide the hinge into the openings of the cover.
Then slide the hinge down in its lock position.
Assemble the cover and base by sliding the cover hinges into the cavities within the base. The hinges are properly seated in the base if a clicking sound is noticed.
Rotate the cover towards the base and close the cover.

Access the inside of the closure

Open the closure, lift the cover up.
Hinge the cover open to the side of the installed hinge.
Secure the cover in open position: the cover with hinges will move downwards and will lock into the base.

Remove fiber organizer

Push on the two tabs situated under the Octopus™ gel seal to release the organizer.
To remove the organizer, it is important to lift both sides simultaneously to avoid damaging it.

Install the Octopus™ gel blocks

Octopus™ gel block must be installed in the cover, in the base.

Install the Octopus™ gel blocks with the plastic support of the gel block facing downwards. Push the gel blocks on the ends into its cavity and push it in its cavity as far as possible.
Now the Octopus™ gel blocks are correctly installed.

Feeder cable

Using the feeder strain relief bracket

Feeder cable preparation

N.°	Description	Preparation

| ****

Jacket

| End cut – Subunit cut at the jacket end.

• Make a window cut of: 81 ±5 cm / 32 ±2 Inches.

Mid cut – Subunit cut in the middle.

• Make a window cut of: 162 ±5 cm / 64 ±2 Inches.

Cable end

• Remove the jacket over a distance of: 81 ±5 cm / 32 ±2 Inches.

If the cable diameter is smaller than 9 mm / 0.35 Inches or if the jacket is a thin jacket, add 5 wraps of silicone tape.
Stretch the tape minimum 50% while wrapping the tape around the cable. Make sure the tape is wrapped where the hose clamp will be positioned.

Install feeder cable on feeder strain relief bracket
Feeder cables will typically be installed one end right (F1 – feeder in) and one end left (F2 – feeder out).

Open the hose clamp and place it on the bracket with the hose clamp band through the slot.
Position the cable on the bracket with the jacket end aligned with the indicated line on the bracket as shown. Verify the length of the strength member and cut to length.
Select the subunits that will be used for splicing to the drops. Keep them aside. Route the unused subunits along the center of the bracket and place the strength member in place. If the cable doesn’t contain aramid yarn, proceedwith step 6.
Note: Make sure the aramid yarn is always tensioned when installing.
Guide the aramid yarn under the top hook to the right side of the bracket. Make an S-turn to the left side of the lower hook.
Turn the aramid yarn under the bottom hook to the right side of the bracket and guide it along to the left side of the top hook. The aramid yarn will cross between the two hooks.
Close the hose clamp and secure with an appropriate tool.
Cut the excess of the aramid yarn.
Install the other side in the same way and guide the unused subunits under the lips.

Feeder cable installation

Port reducers
Port reducers are installed above and below the Octopus™ gel seal. Depending on the cable diameter, the port reducers should remain or need to be removed. The port reducer in the middle port should always remain in place. If the cable diameter is less than or equal to 10 mm / 0.39 Inches: keep the two port reducers in place. In this case, continue with the next section. Steps below are not applicable. If the cable diameter is more than 10 mm / 0.39 Inches: remove the two port reducers of the respective port. In this case, continue with the steps below. If the cable is not positioned freely, remove the two port reducers.

Lift up the two port reducers at both sides of the Octopus™ gel seal (no tools needed).
Remove the both parts of the respective port. (In total 4 parts for a looped feeder cable.)

Install feeder cable bracket

Insert the 2 pins on the top of the bracket into the 2 holes on the tray.
Push the assembly inside the tray.
The assembly is secured when you hear a click on both sides.

Using the cable retention NVX-CR-DU-SL-NN: Mini dual cable
The mini dual bracket can be used to install one or two feeder cables with a diameter ≤ 6,2 mm / 0.25 inches at the F1 position on the feeder side. See the installation instruction TC-1529-IP – NVX-CR-DU-SL-NN: Cable retention: Mini dual cable for the cable preparation. Follow the next steps to install the bracket.

Make sure the port reducers of the F1 feeder port are installed.
Align the two hooks on the rear side of the carrier with the t-shape.
Push the carrier so that the hooks on the rear slide over the t-shape. A clicking sound is observed.

Route feeder fibers to storage

Route subunits to loop storage basket

F1: Entry
F2: Exit
S= Storage area
mid cut: cut the subunit in the middle
end cut: cut the subunit at the jacket end at exit side (F2)

Select the subunits that will be used for splicing to the drop cables. Keep them separate.
Make loops of the subunits that will not be used and store it in the loop storage basket.
The different options for the selected subunits are:
- Endcut: cut the subunit at the jacket end of the exit (F2) and route the subunit to the stripping point at the front side.
- Midcut: cut the subunit in the middle of the unit and store the end that will not be used (F2) in the loop storage basket. Route the other end (F1) to the stripping point at the front side.
1. The arrow on the feeder bracket indicates the stripping point. Mark the subunit at the stripping point and remove the jacket per local practice. Route the subunits to the top of the tray.
  Note: Make sure the fibers are routed underneath the lips.
2. Use the transportation zone at the top of the tray to guide the subunits to the front splice tray.
3. Store the subunit on the splice tray underneath the lips.
