Step 4:
Fully release both buttons at the same time.
Ensure that both the bare and coated portion of
the fiber is secured by the clamps.
Step 5:
CRITICAL STEP: Cycle Clamp A (Figure 8) by
pressing and releasing Button A once. Verify the
fiber is still in the V-groove.
Step 6:
Slowly turn the knob 360 degrees to cleave the
fiber.
Step 7:
Squeeze Button A, remove the scrap fiber, and
place it in the scrap fiber bin.
NOTE:
Ensure there is only one piece of scrap fiber
approximately 30 mm in length. If there are two
pieces of scrap fiber, DO NOT use the cleave, and
clean the clamps as described in Section 8,
Maintaining Cleaver, of this instruction. Then repeat
Section 4, Preparing Cable and Fiber, to re-cleave
the fiber as described.
Step 8:
While holding onto the fiber, squeeze Button B
and remove the cleaved fiber (Figure 9).
NOTE:
Once the fiber is cleaved, do not clean the fiber or
allow it to contact anything. If the cleaved fiber does
contact something, repeat fiber preparation and re-
cleave. Do not use the cleaved fiber as it is
unacceptable.
6.
Assembling CamSplice with Tool
Step 1:
Holding the cleaved fiber by its
coating, push the first fiber down into
the clamps (Figure 10). Slide the fiber
into the CamSplice splicer until it stops;
the visual mark should be near the end
of the crimp tube. To ease the fiber’s
entry into the CamSplice, the fiber can
be slightly twisted or “rolled” during
insertion.
There should be no bend in
the first fiber at this point.
NOTE:
If you feel any resistance while inserting
the first fiber, pull back on the fiber very
slightly, and then continue to insert it into
the CamSplice.
