Important issues: 1. Inlet/outlet tubes are to be selected accurately to make it easy for splicing and sealing. 2. Reserve reinforce core for 40mm, then cut off the unnecessary Fiber Fiber with protective coat Fiber Fiber Adhesive tape Fiber with Reinforced core protective coat Fiber cable 5.6 Step Six - Encapsulate, fix fiber cable and reinforced core 5.6.1 Install the normal cable in the small port: according to the diameter of the cable, choose the suitable sealing ring. Demount the nut, gasket and sealing ring of the corresponding entry/exit tubes, insert them into fiber cable in sequence, and then insert fiber cables into entry/exit cable. Fix cable and reinforced core: according to the diameter of the cable, use the suitable hose clamp jammed in the slot of reinforced core device. Then put the hose clamp INSTALLATION MANUAL HORIZONTAL FIBER OPTIC SPLICE CLOSURE AR-SC7P-xxxF-M...

on the cable, let the cable 5mm above the hose clamp, tighten the nut in order to fix the cable. After that, release the reinforced core device, through the core and screws. Finally put the small sealing gasket, gasket ring, nut through the tube, tighten the nut in order to seal properly. 5.6.2 Install the mini cable in the small port: First according to the mini cable way and put it into the sealing ring, fixed the mini cable reinforced core, and then together through cable access port, fixed mini cable components, then tighten the nut in order to seal properly. 5.6.3 The big port for straight splice and part branch: should be based on the actual installation of the cable diameter, use the appropriate double-hole sealing. Unscrew the two fastening screws, platen, double hole ring and washer, and then put the tube into the ports, At last put the gasket, double hole ring, and the plastic platen, and finally tighten two fastening screws to ensure sealing. 5.6.4 Uncutting cable and the fix the reinforced core: according to the diameter of the cable, choose the right hose clamp, jammed in the slot of reinforced core base. Then put the hose clamp on the cable, let the cable 5mm above the hose clamp, tighten the nut in order to fix the cable. After that, release the reinforced core plate, through the core and screws; fix the direct through cable in the storage tray. 5.6.5. Demount the nut of fixing device of reinforced core with special wrench (plastic one), set the reinforced core into fixing slot, tighten the nut, and retighten it with metal wrench (metal wrench to be provided by operator).

5.7 Step seven - Fiber splicing 5.7.1 Follow user manual of fusion splicing machine to splice fiber. Important issues: pay attention to the twist and bend of fiber 5.8 Step eight - Install heat shrinkable protective sleeve and house fibers 5.8.1 When having completed splicing the fibers, the first fiber ring should be housed on the farthest side of FOST, the remaining fiber should be winded, forming a ring with diameter not less than 60mm. then put it into FOST (Fiber Optic Splice Tray) together with heat shrinkable protective sleeve. ( Firstly fix heat shrinkable protective sleeve into the slot, then enlarge the diameter of fiber ring properly.) See drawing 7 Important issues: pay attention to the twist and bend of fiber 5.9 Step nine – Check up comprehensively 5.7.1 Follow user manual of fusion splicing machine to splice fiber.
