Maintenance - Maintenance time table
Mirror one (cleaning)
D
Because of the position of the mirrors in the FSU 995 FA there
is a tendency for mirror one (positioned at a 45
o
angle) to
become dirty with build-up in the same way the electrodes
do. This build-up manifests itself as a gradual darkening of
the image in the lower view, as well as in the contraction of
the hot image light intensity curves for this same view. YOU
SHOULD NOT TRY TO CLEAN THE MIRROR YOURSELF, but
rather should deliver the splicer to an authorized Ericsson
representative for cleaning.

Maintenance time table
E
Maintenance should be an important part of your daily routine
with the FSU 995 FA. To make it easier for you to keep in
mind all of the various maintenance tasks, the following time
table organizes these tasks according to how often you
should do them.
How often Maintenace tasks
Beginning of each day Clean the electrodes using the electrode cleaning program.
Clean the V-grooves with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.
Every 20 splices Clean the electrodes using the electrode cleaning program.
Every 200 splices Clean the electrodes using the electrode brush and then
the electrode cleaning program.
Every 1000 splices Check mirror one for build-up.
Every 2000 splices Replace the electrodes.
