K33A SLEEVE HEATER
The sleeve heater is designed to use heat to shrink a splice protector sleeve over the
exposed fi ber splice to strengthen and protect it.
To ensure maximum reinforcement the following conditions must be met. Be sure to
select the correct heater setting for your application, either a shrink sleeve length or a
splice on connector type.
After completing the splice, the display screen will show the estimated loss. Open the
wind cover and wait for the tensile test to complete, 3 seconds of so and then remove the
splice or connector front he holders and visually inspect the splice results.
Next slide the shrink sleeve over the splice being sure to center it over the splice and place
the fi ber with the shrink sleeve into the heater unit. Be sure to place the splice correctly
in the heater, failure to place the sleeve and fi ber in the correct position can result in
incorrect heating and possible damage to the splice joint. Take note of the 40mm and
60mm marks in the heater for alignment. For splice on connectors (SOC's) be sure to
remove the magnet from the right side of the heater and lay the SOC body on the right
side of the heater in alignment with the SOC markings on the heater.
When splicing, the heater cover cannot be left open, it must be in the fully closed position.

Keeping the K33A clean will ensure that it performs consistently, moisture, dust and
debris that accumulate on the K33A cab effect its performance. Store the K33A at
room temperature whenever possible. If the K33A is exposed to extreme temperatures
be sure to perform and arc calibration using Single Mode Fiber. Store the K33A in
its toolbox to protect it during transport and handling when not in use. Never use
organic solvents such as acetone to clean rubber parts of the equipment, use only
recommended cleaning solutions.
