Questions and Troubleshooting

Tube-heating Operation

(1) Fiber protection sleeve does not shrink completely

• Extend the heating time. Refer to [Referring or editing Heater Mode] (Page 49).

(2) Heater LED on panel keyboard blinks

• Pressing the

HEAT

key during heating causes the LED to blink. The tube heater is

turned off if the HEAT key is pressed again. If, after 2 seconds have gone by without
pressing the HEAT key again, the LED stays on continuously and the heater returns to its
normal state. The LED will turn off when the heat cycle is completed.

• If the heating temperature does not reach its inputted setting, the LED blinks and the

alarm sounds. If this happens, contact your nearest sales agency.

(3) Fiber protection sleeve adhered to heating plate after shrinking

• Use a cotton swab or a similar soft tip object to push and remove the sleeve.

(4) Method to initialize heating condition of Heater mode

• Refer to [Referring or editing Heater Mode] (Page 49).

(5) Method to cancel heating process

•

RESET

does not cancel the heater. Press

HEAT

twice to cancel the heating process.

Supervising

(1) What functions can be disabled

• Refer to [Menu Lock] (Page 64).

(2) Method to lock “selection” or “editing” of Splice or Heater mode

• Refer to [Menu Lock] (Page 64).

(3) Method to set parameters of Splice or Heater mode from a PC

• To set or change the parameters, contact your nearest sales agency.

(4) Forgot password

• Contact your nearest sales agency.
