Chapter 2 - Installation 2.1 Safety Warning and Precautions As VIEW 3 Pro is designed for fusion splicing silica glass optical fibers, it is very important that the splicer should not be used for any other purposes. The splicer is a precision instrument and must be handled with caution. Therefore, you must read the following safety rules and general precautions in this manual regarding the use and handling of VIEW 3 Pro at any time.
Transport and Storage Precautions VIEW 5 Pro ① When the splicer is moved from cold to warm environment, you should allow the splicer to warm up gradually. Otherwise, the condensation generated inside will bring harmful effects to the splicer. ② Pack the fusion splicer well for long time storage. ③ Keep the splicer clean and dry. ④ The splicer is precision adjusted and aligned. Always keep the splicer in its carrying case to protect from damage and dirt.

VIEW 5 Pro 2.4 Power Supply Method Battery Following is the way of installing a battery. Shut off fusion splicer. Press on release button at lateral,drawing the battery out of the fusion splicer. Place the battery into power unit slot until you push it into the right place.
Chapter 3 - Basic Operation 3.1 Turn On the Splicer Press button on the operation panel, and wait the splicer to be turned on and move to Workbench page. ⚠ Note: The LCD monitor is a precise component produced by manufacturing factory under strict quality control. However, some tiny dots in different colors may still remain on the screen. Meanwhile, the screen brightness may not appear uniform, depending on its viewing angles. Note that these symptoms are not defects, but are natural phenomenon. 3.
VIEW 5 Pro 3.3 How to Make a Splice Put the optical fiber in ① Open the safety shield. ② Raise the fiber clamps. ③ Position the fibers into V-grooves. Make sure the fiber ends are between the V-groove edges and the electrode tip. ④ Clamp the fiber in position by lowering both sets of fiber clamps. ⑤ Close the safety shield. ⚠ Note: Make sure to avoid sliding the fibers along V-grooves, but rather position them over V-grooves and tilt them down into place (as shown below).
3.4 How to Protect the Splice After splicing, put the fiber with heat-shrink sleeve into the heat oven. Press [Heat] button to execute heat-shrink process to strengthen the splice point. Heating Procedure ① Open the heat oven lid ② Lift the left and right fiber holders on the splicer. Hold the heat-shrink sleeve (previously placed onto the fiber). Lift the spliced fibers and hold them taut. Then move the heat-shrink sleeve to the splice point.

Chapter 4 - Splice Mode VIEW 3 Pro has an intuitive and simple but very powerful program structure to operate. Splice programs define arc currents, splice times as well as various parameters used when performing a splice. Therefore, it is essential to select the correct splice program. There are a number of “Preset” splice programs for common fiber combinations. Therefore, it is much easier to modify and further optimize the parameters for more unusual fiber combinations. 4.
VIEW 5 Pro 4.3 General Splicing Steps This section explains the steps involved in automatic splicing process and describes how various program parameters are related to this process. The normal splicing process can be divided into two sections: pre-fusion and fusion. Pre-Fusion During pre-fusion, the splicer performs automatic alignment and focusing, where the fibers are subjected to a low prefusion current for cleaning purposes; a pre-fusion image is also taken.
4.4 Parameters for Normal Splicing Process Parameter Template Name Note Align Type Arc adjust Pull test Loss estimate Minimum loss Loss Limit Core angle limit Cleave angle limit Gap position Gap Overlape Cleaning Arc time Preheat Arc value Preheat Arc time Fuse Arc value Fuse Arc time Description A list of splice modes stored in the splicer database is displayed.

Parameter Auto start Pause 1 Pause 2 Cleave angle Core angle Loss Fat Thin Pause 1 Align Pause 2 Arc Estimate Gap set Description If“Auto start”is set to ON, splicing starts automatically as soon as the wind protector is closed. Fibers should be prepared and placed into the splicer in advance.
Chapter 6 - Heater Mode The splicer provides max 32 heat modes including 7 heat modes preset by INNO Instrument and the reset that can be defined by users. Select a heating mode that best matches with the protection sleeve used. For each type of protection sleeve, VIEW 3 Pro has its optimum heating mode. These modes can be found in the database area for reference. Copy the appropriate mode and paste it to the user–programmable area. Users can edit those parameters. 6.

List of all heat modes are displayed. Selected mode will be copied to a user-programmable area.
Chapter 7 - Maintenance Menu The splicer has a function to perform routine maintenance. This section describes how to use the maintenance menu. ① Select [Maintenance Menu]. ② Select a function to perform. 7.1 Maintenance VIEW 3 Pro has a built-in diagnostic test function that allows the user to evaluate several critical variable parameters with only one simple step. Perform this function in case of splicer operation fault.
VIEW 5 Pro ④ Clean the new electrodes with alcohol-impregnated clean gauze or lint-free tissue, and install them in the splicer. I) Insert the electrodes in the electrode covers. II) Place the electrode covers on the splicer, and tighten the screws. ⚠ Note: Do not pull out wiring when replacing electrode. Do not exceed the normal finger strength when tightening screw.
7.5 Dust Check Through image acquisition, the splicer detects dust and contaminants on the splicer, camera, and objective lenses that may result in improper splicing. This function checks the optical path for the presence or absence of contaminants, and judges whether they will affect the quality of fiber splicing. Operation Procedure ① Select [Dust check] in [Maintenance menu]. ② If fibers are set in the splicer, remove them and press [Set] again to start the dust check.
