- Press the power button to turn on the device. The 3.5-inch display will illuminate.
4.3 Fiber Cleaver Operating Platform
The T49 features a rich practical extensibility with a fiber cleaver operating platform.
Video 1: This video demonstrates the features of the ORIENTEK T49 Fiber Fusion Splicer, including its tool-less electrode replacement, fast splicing and heating, and the integrated fiber cleaver operating platform. It also shows the splicer's anti-dust, anti-rain, and anti-shock capabilities, and its handheld design for high-altitude operations.
As shown in Video 1, the fiber cleaver can be securely attached to the splicer, creating a stable platform for precise fiber preparation.
5. Delovanje
Follow these steps for successful fiber optic splicing.
5.1 Fiber Preparation
- Strip the Fiber: Use the fiber stripper to remove the outer jacket and coating, exposing the bare fiber.
- Clean the Fiber: Clean the bare fiber with alcohol and a lint-free wipe.
- Cleave the Fiber: Place the cleaned fiber into the fiber cleaver and perform a precise cleave. A good cleave is crucial for low splice loss.
5.2 Splicing Procedure
- Open the Lids: Open the top lid and the heating oven lid of the splicer.
- Place Fibers: Carefully place the prepared fibers into the V-grooves of the splicer, ensuring the cleaved ends are positioned correctly between the electrodes. The 3-in-1 fiber holder accommodates various fiber types.
- Zaprite pokrove: Close the top lid. The splicer will automatically align the fibers and initiate the splicing process.
- Splicing Completion: The display will show the splice loss after the 8-second splicing process.
- Zaščita pred toplotnim krčenjem: Place a splice protection sleeve over the spliced joint and move it into the heating oven.
- Ogrevanje: Close the heating oven lid. The splicer will automatically heat the sleeve for 18 seconds to protect the splice.
- Hlajenje: Once heating is complete, carefully remove the protected splice and place it on the cooling tray.

6. Vzdrževanje
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your fusion splicer.
6.1 Čiščenje
- V-Grooves and Electrodes: Regularly clean the V-grooves and electrode tips with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Dust and fiber debris can affect splicing quality.
- Zaslon: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the display screen.
- Heating Oven: Keep the heating oven free of debris.
6.2 Zamenjava elektrod
