4. Operating Instructions

This section outlines the general procedure for performing a fiber optic fusion splice using the T45-HAI.

4.1. Fiber Preparation

1. Cut Fiber Jacket: Use professional fiber strippers to carefully remove the outer jacket of the fiber optic cable to expose the bare fiber.
2. Clean Fiber: Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a lint-free wipe and gently clean the stripped fiber to remove any coating residue.
3. Place Heat Shrinkable Tube: Slide a heat shrinkable tube onto one of the prepared fibers. Ensure it is positioned far enough from the end to not interfere with the cleaving and splicing process.
4. Cleave Fiber: Place the cleaned fiber into the fiber cleaver (e.g., FC-30). Follow the cleaver's instructions to achieve a precise, clean, and perpendicular fiber end-face. Repeat for the second fiber.

4.2. Splicing Process

1. Load Fibers: Open the splicer's wind protector and carefully place the two prepared fibers into the V-grooves of the splicer. Ensure the fiber ends are positioned correctly for alignment.
2. Initiate Splicing: Close the wind protector. The splicer will automatically begin the alignment process. Once aligned, the fusion process will start, typically completing in 7 seconds.
3. Review Splice: After splicing, the device will display the estimated splice loss (e.g., 0.01dB). Visually inspect the splice on the screen for any imperfections.

4.3. Heat Shrinking

1. Position Tube: Carefully open the wind protector and move the heat shrinkable tube over the spliced joint, centering it over the splice point.
2. Heat Shrink: Place the fiber with the positioned tube into the heating oven. Close the oven lid. The heating process will automatically begin and typically completes in 18 seconds.
3. Cooling: Once heating is complete, remove the fiber from the oven and allow it to cool naturally. Do not bend the fiber until the heat shrink tube has fully cooled and hardened.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your T45-HAI Fusion Splicer.

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the V-grooves, electrodes, and objective lenses with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol. Ensure no dust or fiber debris accumulates.
• Electrode Replacement: The electrodes have a limited lifespan (approximately 4000 splices). Replace them when the splicer indicates or when splice quality degrades. Refer to the 'Maintain' section in the splicer's menu for guidance.
• Battery Care: Charge the battery regularly. For long-term storage, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to preserve its lifespan.
• Software Updates: Check the manufacturer's website for any available software updates to ensure your splicer has the latest features and performance enhancements.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your T45-HAI Fusion Splicer.

• High Splice Loss:
  • Ensure fiber ends are perfectly clean and properly cleaved.
  • Check electrode condition; replace if worn or dirty.
  • Verify fiber type settings match the fibers being spliced.
• Fiber Not Cleaving Properly:
  • Inspect the cleaver blade for damage or dullness; replace if necessary.
  • Ensure correct cleaving technique and proper fiber placement in the cleaver.
• Splicer Not Powering On:
  • Check battery charge level.
  • Verify power adapter connection.
• Screen Unresponsive:
  • Perform a touchscreen calibration via the 'Settings' menu.
  • Restart the device.

For persistent issues, please refer to the 'Information' or 'Maintain' sections within the splicer's menu or contact customer support.
