Safety Precautions

Optical Fiber Precautions

Chemical Precautions

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Cleaved or broken glass fibers are very sharp and can pierce the skin or damage the eyes easily.

Do not let pieces of fiber stick to your clothing or drop in the work area where protect your eyes. Use tweezers to

pick up pieces of fiber and place them on a loop of tape kept for that purpose alone. Good housekeeping is very

important.

CAUTION: Fiber Optic Cleaning Fluid can cause irritation to eyes on contact. In case of eye contact, immediately

flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Inhaling fumes may be harmful. Use with adequate ventilation. In case

of ingestion, consult a physician.

WARNING: Never look directly into the end of a fiber that may be carrying laser light. Laser light can

be invisible and can damage your eyes. Viewing it directly does not cause pain. The iris of the eye will not close

involuntarily as when viewing a bright light. Consequently, serious damage to the retina of the eye is possible.

Should accidental eye exposure to laser light be suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately.

CAUTION: Recommend the use of safety glasses (spectacles) conforming to ANSI Z87, for eye protection from

accidental injury when handling chemicals, cables, or working with fiber. Pieces of glass fiber are very sharp and

have the potential to damage the eye.

Laser Handling Precautions

Safety Glasses Precautions

PRECAUTIONS

Optical Fiber Precautions

Safety Precautions

Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces. Consult the cable

specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable more sharply than the

minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force to the cable than specified. Do

not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can alter the transmission

characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be replaced.

NOTE:

For additional safety information, please visit www.solmate.net/safety

The SOL-Mate Connector Maker tool conforms to the requirements contained in IEC 60825-1:1993

plus Amendments 1:1997 and 2:2001. Pmax < 1.0 mW, l=635nm

LASER LIGHT

DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS (MAGNIFIERS).

CLASS 1M LASER PRODUCT

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may

result in hazardous radiation exposure.

2. Overview of Installation Tools

This chapter provides an overview of the tools required for installing SC, LC connectors and closures of SOL-Mate Connector Maker

2.1. SOL-Mate Connector Maker Installation Tool

2.1.1 GENERAL

INSTALLATION TOOLS

NOTE:

This section describes the components of SOL-Mate Connector Maker

With the exception of the Ferrule Adapter, this tool operates independent of the connector or fiber type. SC and

ST Compatible connectors require use of the 2.5 mm adapter and LC connectors require the 1.25 mm adapter.

Please read through this entire chapter before using the installation tool to install SOL-Mate connectors. Refer to

Chapters 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 for complete operating instructions.

Using oil or grease will reduce performance and also can damage the product.

SOL-1000 does not require substances such as lubricant.

Technical aspects of SOL-1000 should be examined by qualified professionals.

Ignoring this may cause fire or electric shock. Please contact with Soltec Infonet for A/S.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Replace the electrode correctly.

Only specified electrode bars are available.

Always replace the electrode bar with a pair.

Replace the new electrode bar in the correct position.

Do not use chemicals other than ethyl alcohol (96%) to clean camera lenses, V-groove, LCD monitors, body parts, etc.

Using other chemicals can cause distortion, discoloration, and degradation.

No Freon Gas Dispensing High Voltage Caution

Do not store equipment in areas of high temperature or humidity. There is a risk of damage to the equipment.

34MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

8.7.1 SOL-1000 Splicing Error

On this Installation guide, troubleshooting only discribes the currently occuring basic errors of SOL-Mate Connector Maker Tool Kit.

Alignment Over

This message appears when the horizontal position of

the fibres exceeds the set value.

(The set unit for the number is 1PIX and the default

value is 3PIX.)

1. Reset both holders to Sol-Mate

2.Error can be occurred when dust remains on V-groove , process

Maintenance on Section 8.

3.Error can be occured when holders are not propely setted, replace

the holders.

4. If the error still keeps on, call the A/S center

Angle Over

Messages that appears when the fibre cut-off angle

exceeds setting. This error can occur. Error can be cased

on left/right or concurrent.

1. Reset the angle exceeding fiber.

2. This error can be caused by dust inside, if everything is within the

standard and error occurs, process Maintenance on Section 8.

Fiber too long (L or R)Error message is occurred when the end of the fiber

passes the middle line on the screen

1. Reset the fiber which is to long.

2. If the error still occurs eventhough the fiber is placed correctly,

process Maintenance on Section 8.

Error Type Cause of error Solutions

Motor Overrun (L or R)

Motor Overrun error occurs when motor movement had

exceeded progress but when fiber does not appear on

the screen.

This error is mainly occurred when to the fiber length

on the holder is too short.

1. Replace the holders to SOL-1000 and try again

2. Check If the loaded fiber length is too short and does not reach

the center of the V-groove. If so, restart Connector and Fiber

prepartion on Section 4.

technical support for A/S.

Fiber Oblique

lOccurs by several factors such as Cleaver Blade,

Pusher spring and Clamp.

Change the blade channel, if the error continuously occurs

contact technical support for A/S.

Fiber dust

Occurs when the fiber is not properly cleaned after

250㎛ coating stripping.

While splicing preparation, the Fiber will be visuable through the SOL-1000 LED monitor. If the fiber occurs as below on either

one of the fibers, it is not recommended to countinue splicing. If you cannot find the solution for the Cleaving Error on this section,
