9. When the Timer reaches zero, the heater will move backward to home position, and the processed
splice will be ejected. Cycle completed, DETECTION PLATE drops down, ready for next cycle.
Note: TAKE CARE WHEN HANDLING THE EJECTED CABLE SPLICE AS IT WILL BE HOT.
10. Without selecting another process button, the next cycle will continue the last selected process.
4.2.9 Emergency Stop
Note:
This is an EMERGENCY procedure used in the unlikely event of the Heater Chamber remaining closed
after the set time sequence.
HAZARDS FROM DAMAGED PRODUCT
Due to the nature of all heating tools, any product which is trapped or inadvertently
left in the oven can become damaged or even BURN. This may lead to smoke;
hence the processor must be used in a well-ventilated area.
If a fire occurs inside the heater the operator should actuate the processor’s
Emergency Stop button and then either extinguish the fire by correct use of
a CO
2
filled fire extinguisher, or allow the fire to extinguish naturally. In both cases care
should be taken not to inhale any of the fumes which result from the burning wires
or splice tubing. If the heater chamber is forward when the E-STOP is activated it
will immediately move to the rear and eject the splice being processed. Care should
be taken in handling the splice as the splice nugget and surrounding area may be
hot. The splice/wires should then be safely disposed of in a metal bin which
contains no combustible material.
In the unlikely event the heater chamber does not retract during an emergency stop
operation, follow the “Emergency Heater Chamber Release” on section 4.2.11.
1. To Power OFF the processor in an emergency, push the EMERGENCY STOP button. If the heater chamber
is forward when STOP is activated, it will move to the rear and eject the splice being processed. All power to
the Processor is then turned OFF.
2. To restore the processor to its normal working condition, release the EMERGENCY STOP button by rotating
it clockwise.
3. Reset the Processor by pressing the I/O button for 5 seconds until the I/O LED illuminates. Once the heater
chamber has returned to the selected temperature the Processor is then ready to continue operation.
