2.1 Safety Warning and Precautions
As VIEW 5 Pro 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
Pro 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
① Never operate the splicer in an environment where flammable liquids or vapors exist.
② 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.
③ 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 or its authorized technicians or engineers.
④ Never operate the splicer in an environment where fammable 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 heat source or
in high temperature and dusty /environment, or when condensation is present on the splicer. This may result in
electric shock, splicer malfunction, or poor splicing performance.
⑤ Safety glasses should always be worn during fiber preparation and splicing operation. Fiber fragments can be extremely
dangerous if they come into contact with the eye, skin, or are ingested.
⑥ Take out the battery immediately if the followings are observed when using the splicer:
＊ Fumes, bad smell, abnormal noise or over heat.
＊ Liquid or other matter falls into cabinet
＊ The splicer is damaged or dropped.
If any of these faults occurs, please contact our service center immediately. Leaving the splicer in a damaged state
without any prompt measures may cause equipment failure, electric shock, or fire and may result in injury or death.
⑦ Do not use compressed gas or canned air to clean the splicer. They may contain flammable materials that could ignite
during the electrical discharge.
⑧ Please use VIEW 5 Pro specific standard battery only. Using an improper AC power source may cause fuming, electric
shock or equipment damage and may even result in fire, injury or death.
⑨ Please use VIEW 5 Pro specific charger only. Do not place any heavy objects on the AC power cord. Keep the power cord
away from heat source. Using an improper cord or a damaged cord may cause fuming, electric shock or equipment
damage and may even result in fire, injury or death.
Maintenance and External Care Precautions
① Always avoid using hard objects to clean V-grooves and electrodes.
② Always avoid using acetone, thinner, benzol or alcohol when cleaning any part of the splicer, except for the places
advised.
③ Use a dry cloth to remove dust and dirt from the splicer.
④ If the outside of the splicer is dirty, plunge a soft cloth into diluted neutral washing up liquid, wring out the cloth and
clean. Dry the splicer with a dry cloth but DO NOT use furniture polish or other cleaning agents.
⑤ Always follow the maintenance instructions in this manual.
