  • Page 3 3. Do not use and store the splicer out of the locations defined in a brochure and this manual. Doing so can cause splicer malfunction or deterioration, resulting in fire or electric shock. 4. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or malfunction, do not allow the splicer to be exposed to rain and get liquid such as water or a metallic object inside the splicer.
  • Page 4 26. Be sure to turn off the splicer and unplug the power cord or remove the battery pack before replacing the electrodes. 27. Only use Sumitomo genuine electrodes (ER-10). And use the splicer with electrodes installed in it. Failure to do so can cause the splicer to damage, resulting in fire, electric shock or malfunction.
  • Page 5 <Handling of battery pack> 1. Do not burn the battery pack or throw it into a fire. Doing so can cause heat generation, bursting and fire. 2. Do not place the battery pack in microwave ovens and high-pressure containers. 3. Do not let water or sea water wet or soak the battery pack. Safety and protective devices to prevent danger are built in the battery pack.
  • Page 6 [Caution] <Transportation and storage> 1. This product is a precision instrument. When transporting the splicer, use its specified carrying case to protect the splicer from excessive shock or impact. 2. Do not use and store the splicer out of the locations defined in a brochure and this manual.
  • Page 7 <Battery handling and charging> 1. Make sure the polarities are correctly connected. Do not attempt to connect the battery pack or other equipment when you cannot do. Reversed connections can cause abnormal chemical reaction in battery fluid, heat generation, bursting and fire. 2.

    1．Introduction ❚ Product overview The TYPE-82C+ automatically pre- inspects and aligns a pair of optical single fibers with equipped microscopes, and then fuses them together with heat from an electric arc to form a low-loss splice. A protection sleeve is applied over the bare glass and cured in the built-in heat shrink oven.

  • Page 16: Features Overview

    1．Introduction ● Features overview The TYPE-82C+ key features are: NanoTune™ Technology The NanoTune™ analyzes a fiber end face and automatically fine-tunes splice condition to achieve an ideal splice. Coping with poorly cleaved optical fiber, which cannot be spliced by conventional splicers, the NanoTune™ can yield the best quality and low loss splices.
