It is prohibited to use the Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer in the flammable liquid or gas environments,
where the discharge of the Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer may cause the fire or explosion.
Do not use the compressed or canned air cleaner to clean the Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer. Otherwise
the arcing generated by splicing will ignite the residual flammable matter.
Don't use the Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer in the environment of high temperature or nearby the high
temperature object, and also in the place where there are too much dusts or higher humidity,
otherwise it may possibly lead to equipment damage, cause the fire, get an electric shock, degrade
the equipment performance, and cause the worse splicing loss.
Please don't use the wet hand to contact the Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer, the AC power cord and AC
power plug, otherwise it may possibly cause the risk of getting an electric shock.
When the surface of the Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer is vapor-condensed, please don’t operate the
Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer, otherwise it may lead to electric shock or equipment damage.
When the Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer is operating, please don't touch the electrode, otherwise the
high pressure and high temperature generated by electrode discharge may cause severe electric
shocks and burns (Before changing the electrode, you must firstly turn off the power supply of the
Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer, remove the batteries, and pull out the AC power cord.)

4. DESIGNATION OF COMPONENTS OF OPTICAL FIBER FUSION SPLICER
1. How to Get Small Splicing Loss
1-1．Necessary Regular Cleaning Jobs
● To Clean V-Shaped Groove
● To Clean Reflecting Mirror
● To Clean Optical Fiber Pressure Head
● To Clean Objective Lense.
In case of cleaning Objective Lens，it is unnecessary to remove needle electrodes
1-2. Selection/Usage of Appropriate Splicing Modes
Please select the appropriate splicing modes according to different sorts of the Optical Fibers.
1-3 Equipment Clean-up before Each Fusion Splicing Operation
● To Clean the blades of Optical Fiber Stripper.
● To Clean the rubber pad and blades of the Optical Fiber Cleaver.
1-4. FUSION SPLICING PROCEDURES
● Make sure that the coating residue and other contaminants on the optical fiber will have been
removed after stripping the optical fiber.
8 / 87
● Please use the pure alcohol with a concentration of more than 99% .
● Do not let the well-cut end of the optical Fiber touch any object or be contaminated.
● Please put the end of the optical Fiber at the place between the edge of the V-shaped groove and
the center of electrode.
● Please put the optical Fiber rightly on the bottom of the V-shaped groove.
Make sure the correct cut length. If the cut length is too short, the optical Fiber’s coating edge may
possibly encounter the V-shaped groove, so that two optical fibers can not be, in the discharge
process, fully close to each other, resulting in undesirable loss of fusion splicing.
● Do not tight the optical fibers, otherwise, two optical fibers can not be, in the discharge process, fully
close to each other, resulting in undesirable loss of fusion splicing.
● Please check the cutting angle and shape of the optical fiber’s end face. The optical Fiber’s cutting
angle will affect the fusion-splicing quality, and a large cutting angle will increase the loss of fusion
splicing.
● It is possible to observe the discharge from the display screen. If the discharge "vibration" or
"flickering light" are being observed, the discharge may be unstable at this time and will result in
adverse loss.
● In case of heating, the Optical Fiber heat-shrinkable sleeve shall be placed in the centre of the
heater, so as to avoid uneven heating and lead to additional losses.
2. Power Supply
Please only use the AC Adaptor provided by the manufacturer.
Please only use the Storage Battery and Battery Charger provided by the manufacturer.
2-1. Avoidance of Damage to AC Adapter
● The AC generators may possibly produce abnormal output of AC high voltage or irregular
frequency.
● The abnormal high voltage and frequency output from the generator may possibly lead to smoke,
electric shocks and damage to the equipment, and even cause the fire, the personal injury or death.
So, before connecting the AC power supply, you must use a multimeter to measure the generator
output voltage.
2-2. Storage Battery
● Even if the storage battery is not used, its capacity will also gradually go down along with the time
goes, and if it is fully discharged, it would never be able to charge into the electricity. So, if it will be
stored for a long time or it has been used, please charge it in time.
