BASIC OPERATION - Splice protection
Once you are satisfied that you have a successful splice, you
can open the safety shield – at which point the splicer will
automatically turn off – and release the fiber clamps. You
should then carefully transfer the spliced fiber to the heat
oven. The simplest way to achieve this procedure without
putting unnecessary torsional tension on the fiber is to use
the fiber fixtures available for the FSU 995 FA (see adjacent
picture).

Splice protection
Make sure the heat-shrinkable sleeve is positioned over the
splice area, and then carefully place the fiber into the heat
oven. You should then follow the instructions that come with
the heat oven. The heat oven is designed to evenly shrink
the sleeve over the fiber, thereby protecting it without sealing
in any bubbles that might cause attenuation problems.
