Safety warnings and precautions
As VIEW 5 is designed for fusion splicing silica glass optical fibers, it is very
important that the splicer should not be used for any other purposes. The splicer
is a precision instrument and must be handled with caution. Therefore, you must
read the following safety rules and general precautions in this manual regarding the
use and handling of VIEW 5 at any time. Any behaviors that do not follow the
warnings and cautions will break the safety standard about design, manufacture,
and usage of the fusion splicer.
INNO Instrument will not take the responsibility for
those consequences caused by misuse!
Operational safety warnings
•
Never operate the splicer in an environment where flammable liquids or vapors
exist.
•
DO NOT touch the electrodes when the splicer is on.
Note: Only use specified electrodes for the fusion splicer. Select [Replace
electrode] in maintenance menu to replace electrodes, or turn off the splicer and
disconnect the AC power source or remove battery before replacing electrodes.
Discharging is prohibited before the electrodes are placed as a pair.
•
DO NOT disassemble or modify any components of the splicer without approval,
except for the permitted-to-disassemble / modify components or parts by users
stated in this manual. Component replacement and its internal adjustment must
be implemented by
INNO Instrument or its authorized technicians or engineers.
•
Never operate the splicer in an environment where flammable liquids or vapors
exist. Risk of dangerous fire or explosion could result from the splicer’s electrical
arc in such an environment. DO NOT operate the splicer near hot objects or in
high temperature and dusty / humid atmosphere, or when condensation is
present on the splicer. This may result in electric shock, splicer malfunction,
or poor splicing performance.
