Storage and Transportation
Please retain the original packaging for the FFS2001 Series splicer and use for all transportation of the unit.
When packaging the splicer for storage or transportation, the following precautions are necessary.
• Do not store or transport the splicer with the soaking or cleaning containers filled.
Make sure the acrylate injector port is empty, particularly if it is stored near a fluorescent light source. If
•
it is stored when not empty, the material may cure (harden) in the port. To empty the injector, open the
recoat mold top. Turn the injection plunger clockwise to force the UV acrylate material out of the injection
port and onto the recoat mold plate. Wipe up the acrylate as it is ejected with a soft lint-free cloth.
• FHBs must be positioned on the transfer jig at the splice station.
Disconnect the recoat mold injector.
•
• Disconnect all gas and electrical connections.
• Make sure that the foam is positioned properly and carefully close the carton.
