Notes:
1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 ℃ +73.4 ℉.
2) If the fiber is used below -30 ℃ -22 ℉, its maximum resistable temperature drops to +200 ℃ +392 ℉. If the side-view lens FX-SV1 is put on the fiber head, the allowable maximum temperature drops to +300 ℃ +572 ℉. (The ambient temperature range of FX-SV1 is from +60 to +300 ℃ +76 to +572 ℉.)
3) The ambient temperature of heat-resistant 350 ℃ 662 ℉ type, 300 ℃ 572 ℉ type, 200 ℃ 392 ℉ type and 180 ℃ 356 ℉ 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 ℃ +32 to +104 ℉.)
4) If the fiber material is quartz glass or multi-component glass, keep it away from vibration or impact.
5) The normal temperature for continuous usage or storage should be -60 to +150 ℃ -76 to +302 ℉.
6) The five types of attached fiber attachments (FX-AT2/AT3/AT4/AT5/AT6) described in this catalog are for use only with the FX-100/300/311/410 series. Only one of these five fiber attachments is provided with each fiber.
