1. General
Thank you very much for purchasing the TYPE-66 Mass Fusion Splicer (hereinafter
called “the TYPE-66”).
The TYPE-66 automatically pre-inspects and aligns a pair of optical fibers with
equipped microscopes, and then fuses them together with heat from an electric arc to
form a low-loss splice. A protection sleeve is applied over the bare glass and cured in
the built-in heat shrink oven.
Before using the TYPE-66, read all instructions completely.

1,2,4,5,6,8,10,12
Cleave length
10mm
The TYPE-66 key features are:
•
Dual heat shrink oven
(For more information, see page 46.)
2 heat shrink ovens are equipped with the fusion splicer. The ovens run individually
and splicing operation can be improved more effectively.
•
Auto start
(For more information, see page 47.)
In addition to the function that automatically starts the splicing process when the
hood is closed, the function that automatically starts the heat¥ing cycle when fiber is
placed into the heat shrink oven is provided. These functions enable performing
fusion splice and heat shrink protection without keypad operation.
