1.Warnings  and  Cautions  for  Safe  Operation 

 

The WY-725 is used in different outdoor environment for fiber 

splicing

field splicing

”,

User must be aware that arc fusion splicing 

maybe brings some dangers. Therefore,are included in this instruction 
manual safety requirements. 

·

Read this manual carefully and completely before operating the 
splicer. 

   

·

Adhere to all safety instructions and warnings contained in this 

instruction manual. 

   

·

Retain this manual for future reference. 

  

WARNING   

1

 

Never operate the splicer in an environment where flammable liquids 
or vapors exist.Risk of dangerous fire or explosion may result from 
the electrical arc in such an environment. 

2

 

DO not use the splicer near any hot equipment or in any place of 
high temperature .Possible equipment failure or fire may result. 

3

 Do not touch the splicer,AC power cord and AC plug if your hand 

is wet. Possible electric shock may occur. 

4

 Do not operate the splicer if water condensation is present on 

surface of splicer. Possible electric shock or equipment failure 

may result. 

5

 The splicer is precision adjusted and aligned.Do noe allow the unit 

 

to receive a strong shock or impact. Possible equipment failure may 

result. Use carrying case to transport and store the splicer. The 
carrying case protects the splicer from damage,moisture,vibration 
and shock during storage and transportation. 

6

Do not place the splicer in an unstable or unbalanced position.The 

splicer may shift and lose balance,causing the unit to fall.Possible 
personal injury or equipment damage may result. 

7

Keep  the  splicer  free  from  sand,dust,lubricants  and  other 

contaminants.  The  presence  of  such  substances  may  degrade  the 
splicing performance and cause equijpment failure or damage. 

8

Do not use any chemical other than alcohol to clean the objective 

lens,V-groove,mirror,LCDmonitor,etc.,ofthesplicer.Otherwise,blur
ring,discoloration,damage or deterioration may result. 

9

The splicer requires no lubricatimn. Oil or grease may degrade the 

splicing performance and damage the splicer. 

10

Do not use compressed gas or canned air to clean the splicer. They 

may  contain  flammable  materials  that  may  ignite  during  the 
electrical discharge. 

11

Do not store the splicer in any area where temperature and humidity 

are extremely high. Possible equipment failure may result. 

12

Before using the shoulder belt of carrying case,inspect the belt 

and hook for excessive wear or damage.Carrying the case with a damaged 
belt  may  cause  it  to  fall  and  may  result  in  personal  injury  or 
equijpment damage. 
13

Do not touch the electrodes when the splicer is on and power is 

supplied to the unit,the electrodes generate high voltage and high 

temperatures that may cause a severe shock or burn. Turn the splicer
