2. Nga korero haumaru

Kia mau tonu ki nga whakaritenga haumaru e whai ake nei hei aukati i te whara me te kino o nga taputapu:

• Me whakarite kia ma, kia maroke, kia mārama hoki te wāhi mahi.
• Handle optical fibers with extreme care. Fiber shards are very sharp and can cause serious injury. Always use a fiber waste container.
• Do not look directly into the fiber end faces when the splicer is operating, as invisible laser light may be present.
• Use only the provided AC adapter and battery pack. Using unauthorized power sources may damage the device or cause fire.
• Keep the splicer away from water, moisture, and flammable materials.
• Kaua e ngana ki te wetewete, ki te whakatika rānei i te waeine māu ake. Me tuku atu ki ngā kaimahi ratonga whai tohu.

5. Tatūnga

1. Wewete ana: Carefully remove the splicer and all accessories from the carrying case. Place the splicer on a stable, clean, and level surface.
2. Tāutanga/Whakautu Pūhiko:

   The battery pack is typically pre-installed. If not, insert the battery pack into its compartment. Connect the AC adapter to the splicer and a power outlet to charge the battery. The charging indicator will show the status. A full charge supports approximately 330 splicing and heating operations.

3. Whakahiko: Press and hold the power button until the display illuminates. The splicer will perform a self-test.
4. Tautuhinga Tuatahi: Navigate through the touch screen menu to set language, date, time, and other preferences as needed.

6. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

6.1 Fiber Preparation

1. Tihorea: Use the FIS Fiber Stripper or Flat Cable Stripper to remove the fiber coating to the required length (typically 30-40mm). Ensure the stripping tool is clean and sharp.
2. Te horoi: Clean the stripped fiber thoroughly with an alcohol wipe (99% isopropyl alcohol) to remove any residue. Allow the alcohol to evaporate completely.
3. Cleaving: Place the cleaned fiber into the TFC-30 Fiber Cleaver. Ensure the fiber is positioned correctly according to the cleaver's instructions to achieve a precise 90-degree end face. Operate the cleaver to cut the fiber.

4. Tirotiro: Visually inspect the cleaved fiber end face for any imperfections using the splicer's magnified view. Recleave if necessary.

6.2 Splicing Process

1. Open Wind Protector: Lift the wind protector cover of the splicer.
2. Place Fibers: Carefully place the prepared fibers into the V-grooves of the splicer. Ensure the fiber ends are positioned correctly between the electrodes.

3. Close Wind Protector: Gently close the wind protector. The splicer will automatically begin the alignment process.
4. Automatic Splicing: The FX37 will automatically align the fiber cores and initiate the fusion splicing process. This typically takes 7 seconds. The display will show the splicing progress and estimated loss.

5. Inspect Splice: After splicing, the splicer will display the estimated splice loss. Visually inspect the splice point on the screen for any defects.

6.3 Heating Process

1. Position Protection Sleeve: Slide a protection sleeve over the spliced fiber.
2. Place in Heater: Open the heating oven cover and carefully place the spliced fiber with the protection sleeve into the heating oven.
3. Close Heater: Close the heating oven cover. The splicer will automatically begin the heating process, which typically takes 18 seconds.
4. Matao: Once heating is complete, carefully remove the fiber from the oven and place it in the cooling tray to cool down.

7. Tiaki

7.1 Te horoi

• V-Grooves and Clamps: Regularly clean the V-grooves and fiber clamps with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to prevent dust and fiber debris from affecting splicing performance.
• Ngā Hiko: Clean the electrodes periodically using a specialized electrode cleaner or a cotton swab with alcohol. Ensure the splicer is powered off before cleaning electrodes.
• Whakaatu Mata: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the touch screen. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

7.2 Electrode Replacement

Electrodes have a limited lifespan (approximately 4,000 splices). When the splicer indicates electrode wear or splicing performance degrades, replace them:

1. Power off the splicer and disconnect the power adapter.
2. Carefully remove the old electrodes using the provided tool or tweezers.
3. Insert the new spare electrodes, ensuring they are correctly seated.
4. Power on the splicer and perform an arc calibration (refer to the splicer's on-screen menu for this function).
