Fitel S123M User manual

S123M ver.2 NEW Features
The S123M Series Hand-Held Ribbon Fiber Fusion Splic-
ers have been enhanced and updated to version 2. The
battery is automatically charged internally when con-
nected to AC mains power even during operation. The
new illumination lamp lights up a wide area around the
V-grooves and helps operation in low light environment.
The redesigned and strengthened heater simplies the
protection sleeve loading process.
Features and Applications
With their low prole design and light weight bodies the S123M series offer not only ribbon ber
splicing but also single ber splicing with outstanding mobility and extreme ease-of-use. In addi-
tion, the rugged body is designed to endure harsh operating conditions by improving shock/impact
resistance with rubber pads embedded on 4 corners of the splicer body. It achieves water resistance
compliant IPX2 and dust resistance compliant IP5X.
The fast splice time and protection sleeve shrink time offers a highly efcient work environment.
Large battery capacity makes it possible to perform 70 cycles of splicing and heating for S123M4
and 160 cycles for S123M8 and S123M12 with two batteries, while it offers SOC solution as well.
By combining portability, ease-of-use, improved speed and durability, the S123M series become
and excellent option for use in the conventional telecommunications industry.
