2.5.2 Placing Protection Sleeve Over Fibre The sleeve is used to protect the junction after splice. Before installation, make sure there is no dirt inside the sleeve and keep the sleeve straight with optical fibre, (view figure). Figure 13. Placing Protection Sleeve. 2.5.3 Strip and Clean Outer Coating of Fibre Strip outer coating 30mm from its tip with a stripping pincers (view... - Page 21 Figure 15. Manual Stripping. After manual stripping, clean scrap of the coating layer by circulating the fibre using cotton dipped with high purity alcohol starting from the interface of coating layer and bare fibre (view figure). The alcohol dispenser can be also used to clean the fibre. Figure 16.

Electrodes Maintenance 3.2.1 Clean Electrodes The surface of the electrodes will attach impurities during daily use and affect the arc effect, hence users need to periodically clean the electrodes. Cleaning Procedure: Press the power button “ ” to turn off the device. Wipe the electrode tip with the cotton swab carefully. -
Page 36: Remplace Electrodes
3.2.2 Replace Electrodes Electrodes depletes during its usage. Replace electrodes timely after they have been arced 2000 times otherwise it will affect splice result of fibre which leads to more loss and decrease fibre strength. When the number of arcs reaches 2,000, a message reminding you to replace the electrodes is displayed when turn on the device. -
Page 37: Arc Calibration
3.2.3 Arc Correction Atmospheric conditions such as temperature, humidity, and pressure are constantly changing, which arises variability during the arc. This splicer is equipped with temperature, pressure and humidity sensors to monitor the operation environment to stabilize the arc power. Electrodes wear and dirtiness also affect arc power, and the center position of the arc sometimes shifts to the left or right. -
