When using short length sleeve less than 60mm
When using the 40mm length protection sleeve or micro protection
sleeve, use the sleeve scale on the surface of the heater.
For the 40mm protection sleeve, set the protection sleeve as shown
below.
If a protection sleeve is not centered enough, the protection sleeve
may not shrink completely as below.
After setting fiber in the heater, the heater lid automatically closes. Keep
tension on the fiber until then.
Two-heater plates sandwich the protection sleeve as shown below.
Releasing tension earlier may cause the protection sleeve to fall from the
proper heating location.
After finishing heating process, the lid automatically opens and you can
remove fiber from the heater.
Visually inspect the finished protection sleeve to verify no bubbles or
debris/dust is present in the protection sleeve.
Notes at the time of a protection sleeve set!
Apply tension until heater
holds the fiber.
If you release tension
before the lid closes
If HEAT key is pressed during tube heating, the HEAT LED blinks.
If HEAT key is pressed again, the tube heating process is aborted.
Protection sleeve may stick to heater plate surface. Use a cotton swab
to help remove the protection sleeve from heater.
Since it gets very hot in the heater and the protection sleeve will get
hot, you should not touch the ptotection sleeve immediately after
heating.
10mm
Make sure the splice point is located at the center of the protection
sleeve.
Keep holding fiber tension until fiber is completely transferred to
tube heater.
