Generally speaking, the working environment in the field is poor, so the usual maintenance of the fusion splicer very important to the splicing effect and service life. As a special precision instrument, the fusion splicer should avoid excessive vibration as much as possible, and also be waterproof and moisture-proof. Desiccant can be placed in the case and placed in a dry and ventilated place when not in use.

In addition, do the following:

1) Keep the mirror surface of the lens and the mirror inside the windshield clean. If there are stains, use a cotton swab to wipe in one direction.

2) Keep the V-groove clean and wipe it with an alcohol stick.

3) Keep the fiber holder clean, seal it when pressing it, and wipe it with an alcohol stick.

4) Pay attention to the sensitivity of the windshield.

5) After preparing for fusion splicing and inserting the optical fiber, please do not open the windshield to prevent dust from entering, and do not change the internal parameters of the machine at will. Please consult a technician if necessary.
