INSTRUCTIONS:
CAUTION: Do not allow the black jacket portion of Endglow cables to come into the fiber tight
connector portion of the fiberhead. The black jacket material inside the fiberhead connector
may cause overheating and melting of the outer black jacket and
fibers.
1. Expose the fiber strands by removing approximately 8" of the black or clear PVC outer covering. (For the
clear jacket, a reflective white PVC center core tube must be removed.) Caution: do not cut or scratch
the exposed fibers.
2. Feed fibers through the fiber tight connector, use reducer (see figure 1) if necessary, then through the
aluminum ferrule until 1/2" - 1" of raw fiber will come through the aluminum ferrule. Tighten the connector
cap with a wrench or pliers to prevent the fibers from slipping in the head. Use white PVC spacers
(provided) to help tighten the head.
3. Using a hot knife, cut the exposed fibers as flush as possible. Protruding fibers can interfere with the
color wheel movement. To cut fibers, do not use a “sawing” motion. Apply even pressure on the fibers.
NOTE: Allow the hot knife to fully heat up before cutting. It is important to allow the heat to cut the fibers.
(Caution: sawing back and forth will damage the fibers.)
4. For a wet location light source, it is necessary to use the waterproof gasket. A waterproof gasket is
provided with an adhesive backing. Adhesive side toward the fiber head.
5. The fiber head is now ready to be inserted into the light source. To insert: the notch must be face up to
match the opening in the light source. Make sure the fiber head slides all the way through the motor plate.
To lock: turn 90° clockwise. NOTE: Sometimes it will be a little hard to insert the fiber head on a new
light source for the first time.
Fiberhead Reducers
NOTE: If fibers do not fill the fiber head
ferrule, use one of the three reducers to fill
up the space.

Polish the cut fibersusing a fine grit sandpaper
and handsander. Begin with 600 grit, finish
with1000 grit, polish until smooth. Final polish
with a plastic polisher. The Fiberhead is
now ready for use.
After the epoxy has completely dried, cut
the fiber flush to the Fiberhead with a saw.
Do not usea hot knife when epoxy is
present.
Once the fibers fit snugly into the Fiberhead,
epoxy both ends of the exposed fibers. Mix
the epoxy thoroughly into and over the fibers
in order to permanently cement them together.
If the amount of fibers does not completely
fill the Fiberhead, a PVC insert must be
added to compact the fibers.The type of
PVC will depend on the fiber bundle or cord.
Place fibers in Fiberhead, leaving 3" to 5" in
excess.
