V. Operation 1. Function buttons Turns the power On/Off. The power is turned On/Off with beep sound upon pressing this button for about 1 second. Supplies power to the stripper heater. Toggles On/Off when pressed. LED is lit upon pressing this button and optical fiber can perform stripping after the stripper heater reaches the targeted temperature.
2. Multipack-F Activation Press and hold power button for 1 second. Check the red light turns on. 3. Inserting optical fiber into the splice sleeve tube. Insert optical fiber into the splice sleeve tube based on the assembling direction before stripping.
4. Stripping Procedure ① Preheat the heater by operating the stripping part control as shown in the picture. Open thermal heater cover and slide cover for preparation. < Control Panel > < Automatic Fiber Stripper > ② Place fiber into the holder as shown below pictures. The minimum stripping length should be longer than 18mm.
Page 33
④ Upon closing the heater cover, the optical fiber is heated for the predetermined time period and then stripping is performed with the slider’s automatic move. < Φ250 type > < Φ900 type > < Φ2.0~3.0 type > ⑤ When stripping is completed, open the slide cover and pick up the holder with the stripped fiber.
Alcohol dispenser is attached to Multipack-F body with a magnet so pull it up all the way and completely separate it from Multipack-F body to refill the cleaner. ③ Use ethyl alcohol (96%) as the designated cleaner.
6. Cleaving Optical Fiber ① Open the cover and set the holder on which the stripped optical fiber is installed at the position for cutting the body. On doing this job, make the holder close to one side of holder base to make the optical fiber form a right angle to the blade. <...
④ Remove the cleaved optical fiber and the holder. Be careful not to contaminate them with dust or foreign substance upon removal. Chips of cleaved optical fiber are automatically collected in the chip box. <Φ250 광섬유> <Φ900 광섬유> <SOC> 7. Placing a sleeve tube into the sleeve heater Φ250, Φ900 type : Place sleeve tube in the middle of sleeve heater and fix it by pushing it down.
8. Heating Sleeve Tube ① Place the fiber which has been inserted into sleeve tube into heater. ② Place optical fiber – in which sleeve tube is put – on the sleeve heater. To make heater cover automatically closed when putting on sleeve heater, put the optical fiber while being hung upon the heater lever.
Page 38
Operation Procedure (Heating Sleeve) ① As shown in the picture below, apply power to the control panel and open the cover of the heater to prepare. < Control Panel > < Heating Sleeve > ② Set the sleeve tube to the area of arc-fused fiber that needs to be reinforced and place the fiber inside the heater.
Page 39
③ Activate the heater after placing the fiber. Approximately in 30 seconds after operation of sleeve heater, sleeve tube is cooled. < Control Panel > <Φ250 type > <Φ900 type > <SOC type > ④ Open the cover when cooling is completed and take out the reinforced fiber. <Φ250 type >...
VI. Maintenance 1. Auto Stripper maintenance ① Remove worn out blade by unscrewing fixed bolts as shown below picture, and move the slide part to the left hand side. ② Place new blade in the reverse manner of removing. (Two blades as a pair at top and bottom) For the perfect setting and fine stripping, there should be no cracks when the top and bottom blades make contact.
2. Cleaver maintenance - 1 to 16 channel (cleave positions) is marked on a blade. - If a blade does not cut fiber properly, clean the edge and top and bottom rubber pads of the blade with a cotton swab wet in alcohol - (Do not use acetone or solvent to clean the rubber pads.) - If the life of the blade is almost over, fiber may not be cleaved clean.
Page 42
③ Open the cover and push the slider forward. When the slider is fixed, loosen the set screw a little bit (about 2 turns) with a hexagon wrench. ④ Turn the number on markings of blade by one click counterclockwise with a cotton swab. Fixing: reverse order.
Page 43
③ Insert the wrench bolt into the cam pin and pull it with tweezers and detach the slider. ④ Be careful not to damage the blade. Assemble the part in the reverse manner. Tighten the set-screw firmly. 3) Adjustment of blade height ①...
