www.youfibercable.com Chapter 8 Maintenance 8.1 Cleaning Keep the V-groove, electrode, microscope clean. The shield should be closed when the splicer is not used. 8.1.1 Cleaning V-groove If there is dust on the V-groove, the bare fiber alignment operation may produce a big splice loss. Clean the V-groove in the following steps.
Page 43 www.youfibercable.com 8.1.3 Cleaning the Objective Lens The surface of the objective lens must be kept clean. Dust on lens can cause trouble in the image process and a big splice loss. (1) Turn off the power. (2) Use a cotton swap soaked with pure alcohol to clean the lens’s surface from center toward rim.
Page 44 www.youfibercable.com combustibles (e.g. FREON etc). Otherwise bad splice or accidents might happen. (6) Never use any type of solvent other than pure alcohol when cleaning parts of the machine or fibers. When wiping the lens with cotton stick (having been dipped in alcohol), move it in one direction instead of back and forth.
