damage to the adapter!

Internal lithium battery

There is a lithium-ion battery cells in the fusion splicer, the use of other batteries may
damage the fusion splicer and jeopardize personal safety.
For safety sake, lithium battery pack can not be disassembled to prevent short circuits; do
not crash battery, do not let the battery close to a fire or an excessive heat to prevent lithium
battery explosion.

Operation on optical fiber fusion splicer

When below situation happens on fusion splicer, please turn off the fusion splicer immediately
and unplug the power adapter from the power input, otherwise it will cause the fusion splicer

 CHAPTER III TOOLBOX INTRODUCTION CHAPTER IV ARC CALIBRATION

Introduction of splicer machine functions ARC Calibration：According to the local ground elevation, temperature, moderate and other
environmental factors to match the most suitable discharge ARC, in order to obtain the best
splicing effect, we strongly recommend you to do ARC calibration when it is the first time to use
the new machine, the seasonal changes, the use place changes, or you replaced the electrodes.

The procedure for ARC Calibration is as follows:

Lock catch
Platform for Tool layer
tube cooling
Platform for
fiber cleaving
Accessory

Stool
Step 1: Please turn on the splicer machine, then login "Signalfire2" on your phone, connect
the Bluetooth, open the ARC Calibration and save it. (See picture)
