3. 電極を取り付ける: If not already installed, carefully place the electrodes into their designated slots. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on electrode installation and replacement.
4. 電源オン: Press and hold the power button to turn on the splicer. The 5-inch TFT color display will illuminate.
5. 初期キャリブレーション: The splicer may perform an automatic calibration upon first power-on or after electrode replacement. Allow this process to complete.

6. 操作手順

This section outlines the general procedure for performing a fiber fusion splice.

6.1 繊維の準備

1. ファイバーを剥ぎ取る: Use the wire stripping pliers and Miller stripper to remove the outer jacket and coating from the fiber, exposing the bare fiber. Ensure the stripped length is appropriate for cleaving.
2. ファイバーをクリーニングする: Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a lint-free wipe and carefully clean the bare fiber to remove any residue. Allow it to air dry completely.
3. ファイバーを切断する: Place the cleaned, stripped fiber into the S07 Fiber Cleaver. Follow the cleaver's instructions to achieve a precise, perpendicular cleave. A good cleave is critical for low splice loss.

6.2 スプライシング手順

4. Place Fiber in Holders: Open the splicer's lid and carefully place the prepared fibers into the 3-in-1 fiber holders. Ensure the cleaved ends are positioned correctly within the V-grooves. The universal fiber holders support SM, MM, bare fiber, pigtail, rubber-insulated, and multi-fiber cables.

5. 蓋を閉めます: Gently close the splicer's lid. The AI-6C will automatically begin the alignment process using its six motors and auto-focus feature.
6. スプライシングの開始: The splicer will typically initiate the splicing process automatically once alignment is complete. The splicing time is approximately 8 seconds.
7. Inspect Splice: After splicing, the display will show the estimated splice loss. Visually inspect the splice on the screen for any imperfections.

6.3 Heat Shrink Protection

8. Position Protection Sleeve: Carefully remove the spliced fiber from the V-grooves and slide a heat shrink protection sleeve over the splice point.
9. Place in Heater: Position the fiber with the protection sleeve in the automatic heating oven. The heating time is approximately 18 seconds.
10. 取り外して冷まします: Once heating is complete, carefully remove the fiber and allow the sleeve to cool and harden before handling further.

6.4追加機能

• 夜間作戦: The built-in LED light provides illumination for working in dark environments.

7. メンテナンス

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your AI-6C fusion splicer.

• Clean V-Grooves and Lenses: Use a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol to gently clean the V-grooves and objective lenses regularly. Dust and fiber debris can affect splicing accuracy.
• 電極の清掃/交換: If splice quality degrades or the splicer prompts, clean the electrodes with a brush. Replace electrodes when they become worn or damaged, following the instructions in the full user manual.
• バッテリーのケア： To maximize battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Store the splicer in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to approximately 50%.
• ソフトウェアアップデート: メーカーの web最適なパフォーマンスと新機能を確保するために、利用可能なソフトウェア アップデートをサイトで確認してください。
