Parameter Description
Sleeve type
Sets sleeve type. List of all heating modes are displayed. Select a mode
in the list and this is copied to a user-programmable mode.
Mode Title1
Title of a heater mode that is displayed in the lower right part of the
monitor during the splicing/heating process. Max number of characters
used is 5.
Mode Title2
Description of a heater mode in the [Sleeve Type] screen. Max number
of characters used is 13.
Heat Time
Sets heating time from the beginning to the end (cool-down
completion). Heating time is automatically adjusted with atmospheric
conditions, such as ambient temperature. Heating time may be longer
or shorter than [Heat time] set.
Heat
Temperature
Sets heating temperature. In the case that Ny coated fiber is used with
8mm cleave length, the Ny coating may melt if [Heat Temp] is over 190
degrees Celsius.
Finish
Temperature
Sets the finish temperature. When heater approaches this temperature,
the buzzer beeps announcing the sleeve is cooled down and is ready to
be taken out of the heater.
Caution If the [Finish Temp] is set for over 100 degrees Celsius, the
buzzer beeps before sleeve is cooled down and ready. Hot sleeves
easily deform and can cause some residual stress at the splice point
once the sleeve is finally cool.
