6. APPLICATION
The fiber blowing machines MicroFlow TOUCH and MicroFlow LOG are constructed for blowing fiber optic
cables with a diameter of 0.8 to 6.5 mm into microducts with an outer diameter of 5-16 mm.
We do not recommend use for other applications.
Always use adaptor plates designed for the actual diameter of cable and duct.
It is very important to use the correct adaptor plates. If the adaptor plates do not fit the duct, dangerous
situations may occur. The machine comes in a carrying case. When the machine is not in use or during
transportation, always store it in the carrying case.
7. MOUNTING AND PREPARATIONS
Make sure to place the machine on a stable foundation and to fasten it with for example a bracket to withstand
the forces, which occur during use. The adaptor plates in the machine must fit the actual size of the fiber cable
and the microduct the cable is to be blown into.
The supply of fiber cable from a cable drum or similar must be set up in a way where the fiber cable is supplied
to the machine evenly and with the lowest force possible.
The microduct that the cable is blown into, should be without sharp corners or bends. Before blowing it is
recommended to blow a sponge through the duct. This ensures that the fiber cable can get all the way through
the duct without getting stuck.
Cleaning the duct
1. Apply one or multiple sponges in the duct.
2. Add air pressure and blow sponge.
3. Make sure the sponge arrives at the other end of
the duct.
4. Check that the sponge looks clean after it arrives
at the other end - or repeat with new sponges
until its clean.
Lubricating the duct
1. Remember to clean the duct prior to lubricating
it.
2. Apply one sponge at the desired depth (See
guideline on FlowLUB).
3. Add desired amount of FlowLUB
4. Apply one more sponge (creating three layers
with sponges and lubrication)
5. Add air pressure pushing sponges and FlowLUB all
the way through to the end.
NB: The machine is intended for indoor use and
not for use in wet environments, i.e. rainy weather.
If the machine is exposed to rain or humidity, it
can result in malfunction of the machine and lapse
of warranty.
