2 സുരക്ഷാ വിവരങ്ങൾ
ഉപകരണത്തിന് പരിക്കേൽക്കുന്നതും കേടുപാടുകൾ സംഭവിക്കുന്നതും തടയാൻ ഇനിപ്പറയുന്ന സുരക്ഷാ മുൻകരുതലുകൾ എപ്പോഴും പാലിക്കുക:
- Do not operate the splicer in wet conditions or near flammable gases.
- പ്രവർത്തന സമയത്ത് ശരിയായ വായുസഞ്ചാരം ഉറപ്പാക്കുക.
- Avoid direct eye exposure to the arc discharge and VFL laser.
- Handle optical fibers with care; they are fragile and can cause splinters.
- ഉപകരണം വൃത്തിയായി സൂക്ഷിക്കുക, പൊടിയും അവശിഷ്ടങ്ങളും ഒഴിവാക്കുക.
- അംഗീകൃത ആക്സസറികളും മാറ്റിസ്ഥാപിക്കുന്ന ഭാഗങ്ങളും മാത്രം ഉപയോഗിക്കുക.

5. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ
5.1 Fiber Preparation
Before splicing, the optical fiber must be properly prepared. This involves stripping the fiber jacket, cleaning the fiber, and cleaving it to achieve a precise, clean end face.
- സ്ട്രിപ്പിംഗ്: Use the provided fiber stripper to remove the outer jacket and coating from the fiber.
- വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Clean the stripped fiber with alcohol wipes to remove any residue.
- Cleaving: Place the cleaned fiber into the integrated one-step fiber cleaver. Ensure the fiber passes the far right of the cutter. Close the lid to automatically cut the fiber. The cleaver features an automatic delayed return to prevent scratching the fiber end face.

5.2 Splicing Process
The AI-30 uses core alignment technology for precise splicing.
- പ്ലേസ് ഫൈബർ: Open the splicer lid and carefully place the prepared fibers into the V-grooves of the fiber holders. Ensure the fiber ends are positioned correctly for alignment. The 3-in-1 fiber holder supports various fiber types including FTTH drop cable, bare fiber, 0.9 fiber cable, and 3.0mm jump cable.
- ലിഡ് അടയ്ക്കുക: Close the dust cover. The splicer will automatically begin the alignment and splicing process.
- Monitor Splicing: Observe the splicing process on the 5-inch LCD screen. The screen provides 320x magnification for X/Y axis display, allowing for precise monitoring of fiber alignment and splice quality. The splicing time is approximately 6 seconds.
- ചൂട് ചുരുക്കൽ: Once splicing is complete, move the heat shrink tube over the splice joint and place it in the heating oven. The heating time is approximately 15 seconds.

5.3 Using Built-in VFL and OPM
The AI-30 includes integrated VFL and OPM functions for fiber testing.
- OPM (Optical Power Meter): Use the OPM to measure connection losses and evaluate fiber link transmission quality. It supports wavelengths of 850nm, 1300nm, 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm, 1625nm, 980nm, 1270nm, 1577nm, and 1650nm.
- VFL (Visual Fault Locator): The VFL helps verify continuity and locate faults in the fiber. It can be switched between three power states: 15mW, 2Hz flashing, and steady on mode.

6. പരിപാലനം
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your AI-30 Fusion Splicer.
6.1 Cleaver Maintenance
Keep the cleaver clean to maintain accuracy. The cleaver blades surface automatically changes when the current cutting point has been used more than 1000 times or after three unqualified cutting results. Manual blade changes are also possible.
