Notes: 1) If the fiber is used below
30 °C
22 °F, its maximum resistable temperature drops to 200° C 392 °F. If the side-view lens FX-SV1is put on the fiber head, the allowable maximum temperature drops to 300 °C 572 °F. (The ambient temperature range of FX-SV1is from
60 to 300 °C
76 to 572 °F.)

2)The ambient temperature of heat-resistant 350 °C 662 °F type, 300 °C 572 °F type, 200 °C 392 °F type and 180 °C 356 °F type fibers are the value in dry condition. In humid environment, the ambient temperature differs. (For a high humidity of 85 %RH, the ambient temperature is 0 to 40 °C 14 to 104 °F.)

3)If the fiber material is quartz glass or multi-component glass, keep it away from vibration or impact.

4)The normal temperature for continuous usage or storage should be
60 to 150 °C
76 to 302 °F.

5)The five types of attached fiber attachments (FX-AT2/AT3/AT4/AT5/AT6) described in this catalog are for use only with the FX-301/311series. Refer to p.82 for details ‘FIBER OPTIONS’.
