Basic Operation
Fiber Proof Test
The strength of the splice point can be checked. When finished press RESET or open wind
protector and fiber proof test will be performed.
Removing spliced fiber
1.
Open lid of wind protector and tube heater.
2.
Hold left fiber with left hand at the side of the sheath
clamp and open left sheath clamp lid.
3.
Open right sheath clamp lid.
4.
Place the protection sleeve over the Right
side fiber to splice point.
5.
Hold right fiber with right hand, and remove spliced
fiber from the splicer.
Insertion of the protection sleeve
A protection sleeve is moved to a splice point, holding a fiber with the left hand.
It prevents slack from occurring at a splice point.
Moreover, there is a possibility of fracturing if an excessive tension starts.
Keep holding fiber until fiber is completely transferred to tube heater.
Check that the splice point is located in the center of a protection sleeve.
Check whether the twist has occurred on the right-and-left fiber.
A tension member is designed to rest below a splice point.
