Safety Information
WARNING / CAUTION
Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC adapter plug or the wall outlet
immediately if a user observes the following:
• Fumes, bad smell, noise, or over-heat occurs.
• Liquid or foreign matter falls into this product.
• The Cleaver or AC adapter is damaged or dropped.
If any of these occur, contact our service center for repair. Leaving the
cleaver or AC adapter in a damaged state may cause equipment failure,
electric shock, or fire and may result in personal injury or death.
The AC adapter supplied with this product is the only adapter approved for
use with this product.
Using an improper AC power source may cause equipment damage,
fumes, electric shock, or fire and may result in personal injury or death.
Do not disassemble or modify the cleaver or the AC adapter in any way.
In particular, do not remove or bypass any electrical or mechanical device
(e.g. a fuse or safety switch) incorporated into the design and
manufacturing of this equipment. Modificatio
n could cause damage that
may result in electric shock, fire, personal injury, or death,.
Connect AC power cord properly to the AC Adapter and to the wall outlet.
When inserting the AC plug, make sure there is no dust or dirt on the
terminals. Insert the female plug into the AC
Adapter and the male plug
into the wall outlet until both plugs are fully seated. Incomplete
engagement may cause fuming, electric shock, equipment damage, or fire
and may result in personal injury or death.
Disconnect the AC power cord
when the cleaver is not being used.
Use the supplied AC power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the AC
power cord. Use of an improper or damaged cord may cause equipment
failure, electric shock, or fire and may result in personal injury or death.
Do not touch the cleaver, AC power cord and AC plugs with wet hands.
This may result in electric shock.
Do not operate the cleaver near hot objects, in hot environments, in dusty
/ humid environments, or when water condensation is present on the unit.
This may result in electric shock, cleaver malfunction, or poor cleaving
performance. When water condensation is present, leave the cleaver
powered off and allow to air-dry at room temperature for at least 24 hours.

Safety Information
ᴾ
WARNING / CAUTION
Do not store the cleaver in any place where temperature and/or humidity are
extremely high. Such environments may cause damage to the cleaver.
Do not place the cleaver in an unstable or unbalanced position. The cleaver
may shift or lose balance, causing it to
fall. This may result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
The cleaver is a precisely adjusted and aligned instrument. Keep the unit away
from strong mechanical shock or impact. Failure to do so will result in
misalignent and lead to poor cleaving results. Use the supplied box for
transportation and storage. The box will protect the cleaver from damage,
moisture, vibration, and shock during storage and transportation.
Always set the cleaver blade to the correct position in the machine. Setting the
blade to an incorrect position may cause serious damage to the machine.
If the cleaver blade is replaced, only use the manufacturer-specified part.
Failure to do so will result in serious damage to the machine.
The cleaver requires no lubrication. Adding oil or grease may degrade the
cleaving performance and damage the cleaver.
This equipment must be repaired or adjusted by a qualified technician or
engineer. Incorrect repair may cause fire or electric shock. Please contact the
authorized distributor if any problems occur on the machine.
Keep the cleaver free of contaminants. They will degrade the cleave quality
and may cause the machine to malfunction.
Do not use the cleaver for anything other than cleaving optical
fibers. Using it
for any other purpose may damage the cleaver.

How to Operate
Before cleaving, select an appropriate cleave mode. The 125m cleave mode is selected
from the factory.
ؕஜદ˺
Cleave the fiber (with fiber holder)
1. Load the fiber into the Fiber Holder, then strip and clean the fiber.
2. Confirm electrical power is supplied and fully release the Right-hand lever.
The fiber clamp unit will move to its home position.
䈜The fiber clamp unit will not move if it is already in its home position.
3. Fully release the Left-hand lever and set the fiber holder in place on the guide pins of
the fiber holder plate.
Functions of the Positioning Spacer
䐟Provides a consistent total fiber length after cleaving by maintaining constant
pressure toward the blade.
䐠After releasing the Left-hand lever, it can prevent the fiber holder from being picked
up by the clamp pad.

Cleaving Operation
4. Close the Left-hand clamp to secure the Fiber Holder.
䈜If the Fiber Holder can provide enough clamping force to hold the fiber at the
cleaving tension, the left-hand fiber holder clamp is not necessary.
5. Close the right-hand lever to clamp the optical fiber.
6. For angled cleaving, rotate the angled cleaving base counterclockwise to twist the optical
fiber.
If the total fiber length after cleaving is 12mm,
the stripping length must be greater than
27mm.
The stripped portion of the optical fiber
must fully extend over the V-groove.

Cleaving Operation
7. Press the [CLEAVE] button to cleave the fiber.
During the cleaving operation, LEDs will be displayed as shown in the table below.
8. After cleaving is complete, open the left-hand lever and remove the fiber holder.
9. If the rotary base is engaged (CT111), return to parallel.
10. Open the right-hand lever and dispose of the optical fiber waste.
When the right-hand lever is opened, the clamp unit will return to its home position.
If repeating the cleave operation, return to step 3.

Selecting a Cleave Mode
80m, 125mand250m cleave modes are installed from the factory by default. It’s
possible to switch between the three primary cleave modes with the following steps:
1. Hold the F2 key to enter the cleave mode selection state. The current cleave mode will
be displayed as shown the table below.
2. While the LED is lit green, select the cleave mode from either F1 : 80m cleave mode,
F2 : 125m cleave mode or F3 : 250m cleave mode by pressing the applicable “F-key.”
Within this device, different cleave modes can be added and edited using the Data
Connection PC software. Refer to [Cleave Settings].

Cleaving Operation
Fiber Holders
ᴾ
The CT110/111 can be used with 3 types of fiber holders. Each fiber holder requires the
fiber holder base to be set up accordingly.
Adjusting the Position Spacer
Each fiber holder type requires the user to adjust the positioning spacer. The
positioning spacer has two placement options - adjust as shown below.
When 250m cladding diameter fiber is cleaved, the fiber holder must be loaded
backward into the FSM-100M/P. The positioning spacer and the coating adjuster need
to be removed when the fiber holder is loaded backward. In this case, fiber holder
management cannot be used.

Fiber Holder Management (FH110 series only)
Cleave modes can be assigned to each individual FH110 fiber holder. If a cleave mode
is assigned to a FH110 fiber holder, the cleaver can be set to detect the fiber holder
and retrieve the assigned cleave mode.
For more information about registering with FH110 fiber holders, refer to the [Fiber
Holder Registration] section.
