  • Page 20: Fiber Cleaning

    Fiber cleaning Wipe fiber clean with soft cloth or cotton moistened with alcohol. Fine dust on the surface of the fiber may increase loss after splice and incur damage on the fiber after heating. Inserting fiber to protecting sleeve Put fiber into the protective sleeve.

  • Page 21: Fiber Stripping

    4.5 Fiber stripping Automatic stripper of KF2A automatically performs accurate stripping with single fiber. This thermal stripper does not incur cracks on stripped fiber with superb tensile force. Stripping length of the fiber can be up to 28.0mm. To keep the equipment’s optimal performance, thoroughly understanding and memorizing the instructions is extremely important for proper use.
  • Page 22 Use ethyl alcohol with a purity level of 96% or higher. Heater warms up. Make preparations by opening up the heater cover and slide cover. Install fiber to be stripped on the holder as in the figure. The minimum stripping length is 18mm. iii.
  • Page 23 4.5.1 Maintenance (1) Blade replacement and adjustment Remove the blade by unscrewing the bolt as shown in the figure when its fails stripping. Removal should be done after moving the slider and it stays to the left position. Assemble a new blade in reverse order of the disassembly process. (composed as 1 pair of each piece both at the top and the bottom) Setting and stripping can be done properly with no on the both top and bottom.

  • Page 24: Fiber Cleaning

    4.6 Fiber cleaning The alcohol dispenser of KF2A releases a fixed cleaning agent for fiber cleaning. Be careful not to soak this equipment in any amount of liquid Keep it clean at all times as it is vulnerable to humidity and dust. Keep and use it at room temperature as it can become deformed due to high temperature.

  • Page 25: Fiber Cleaving

    4.7 Fiber cleaving The automatic cleaver of KF2A cleaves by 90 degree angle cleaving with a single fiber. Stripping should be in a proper condition. Fiber alignment in the holder must be in an appropriate condition. The blade condition and height of the blade at the cleaver should be maintained in a proper manner.
  • Page 26 iii. Check the cleaved the end face of the fiber with the cover open. <Φ250 type> <Connector type> Remove the cleaved fiber and holder. Be careful not to leave any dust or foreign substance on the fiber. Cleaved chips are collected by an automatic chip collector. For the detailed use of cleaver, refer to the instructions for blade use.
  • Page 27 4.7.2 How to change blade channel (cleaving locations) Remove the cleaver from KF2A main body using a hex wrench as in the figure. Then remove the chip box using a hex wrench as in the figure below. iii. Open the cover; with the slider advanced, then unscrew the set screw using a wrench as in the figure.
  • Page 28 Turn the blade counterclockwise by 1 mark with a cotton swab. Assembly is done in reverse order. 4.7.3 Blade replacement With cleaver removed from KF2A, unscrew the set screw using a wrench as in the figure. Insert a wrench from the bottom of the cleaver as in the figure and properly unscrew the set screw from the slider.
  • Page 29 iii. Turn the wrench bolt; put it in Cam Pin and then remove it from the slider by pulling with a tweezers, etc. Pay special attention in order to prevent blade damage while replacing it. Assembly is done in reverse order of disassemble and the set screw should be firmly tightened.

  • Page 30: Sleeve-Heater

    When the blade is adjusted to the proper height, tighten the set screw of slide. The height adjustment of the blade is closely related to cleaving quality . 4.8 Sleeve-Heater The sleeve heater of KF2A reinforces spliced point of the single fiber. The quality of fusion splicing on the fiber should be good.
  • Page 31 iii. After settling the fiber, turn on the heater by pressing . (Heating time 20sec) Remove the sleeve protected fiber by opening the cover when the cooling is completed. The better positioning of the fibers will shorten heating time...

  • Page 32: Splice Procedure

    4.9 Splice procedure The status and cleaved quality of the fiber can be monitored by using an image processing system by Swift KF2A. For better splice result, however, visual inspection is required also. In auto mode, the splice procedure begins automatically as the wind cover is closed.

  • Page 33: Removing The Spliced Fiber

    Hold the fiber on the left and open the clamp on the left. Open the fiber clamp on the right. Hold both sides of spliced fiber and separate the fiber from Swift KF2A with care. 4.11 Heating protection sleeve Move spliced point to the center of the protecting sleeve.

    Maintenance of splice quality 5.1 Cleaning and Inspection before splice 5.1.1 V-Groove cleaning When the inside of V-Groove is contaminated, splice quality may deteriorate. Thus, it is important to regularly inspect and frequently clean the V-Groove as follows. Open the wind cover. ii.
  • Page 36 5.1.2 Pusher Block cleaning Pusher Block contamination incurs poor splice quality due to irregular pressure apply to the fibers Thus, it is important to frequently inspect and regularly clean it. 5.1.3 Cleaning Prism Contamination of the prism creates inaccurate monitoring about the fiber cladding location, which causes high loss rate.
  • Page 37 5.1.4 Cleaver cleaning If the cleaver’s blade and rubber pads are contaminated, the cleaving quality may deteriorate. In turn, the splice loss rate can be consequently increased. Thus, clean the cleaver blade and rubber pad frequently using a cotton swab moisten by alcohol. This is critical to keep the cleaved quality of the fiber.

  • Page 38: Regular Inspection And Cleaning

    5.2 Regular inspection and cleaning To ensure splicing quality, regular inspection and cleaning is required. 5.2.1 Object lens cleaning Contamination on object lens’ surface disturbs the identification of fiber core location and consequently incurs high splice loss. Thus, 2 object lenses should be kept clean at all times.
  • Page 39 5.2.2 Electrodes replacement It is recommended to replace the electrodes after using appx 3,000 times. If the number of arc exceeds the replacing cycle, a message for electrodes replacement is displayed on the screen.
