Keyman S1 has been designed and manufactured for convenient use in indoor or
outdoor working conditions. It is easy and simple to use, but please read through
this manual completely to avoid failures and safety accidents before you use it.
Keyman S1 is designed to easily use, but also contains potential danger. Therefore,
this manual contains all necessary instructions to assure safe splice.
Ilsintech(Inc.) is not responsible for equipment damage and personal or
physical damage caused by improper use or modification.
If an abnormal condition such as the following occurs, immediately turn off
power and disconnect the power source. Next, contact the maintenance service
personnel in Ilsintech(Inc.).
 If unusual smoke, noise or odor or unusual overheating occurs,
 If foreign substance or liquid gets inside the splicer, or
 If the splicer is dropped from a high place or suffers damage
Do not use AC power code other than the allowable power cord indicated.
Doing so may cause a fire, electric shock or injury. Use the power code
provided with S1.
Do not touch the electrodes when S1 is switched on. High voltage and High
Make sure that there is no dust or foreign substance inside the AC plug. Then,

Do not use a voltage other than the allowable power voltage indicated.
AC power supply for the specified charger is AC 100-240V, 50-60Hz.
improper range may cause electric shock, equipment damage, serious injury or
even a death. Abnormally high AC output voltage or frequency from the generator
is a common problem. Measure AC output voltage with a circuit tester before
connecting AC power cord. Regular inspection is needed because improper high
voltage or frequency from the generator may cause serious injury, electric shock,
equipment damage or death.
Do not severely pull, heat or modify the provided AC power cord. The use of
damaged power cord may cause hazardous conditions such as fire or injury.
cable or plug.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the AC plug, the AC power code
and the splicer with wet hands.
Do not disassemble AC adapter, battery or the splicer. Any modification to the
splicer may cause a fire, electric shock or injury.
When you use external battery, see the following instructions.
 The use of improper external battery may cause smoke, equipment
damage, or in serious cases burning, injury or death.
 Do not throw the battery into a fire or a garbage dump.
 Do not charge the battery close to flames.
 Do not give severe vibration or shock to the battery.
 If the battery is not fully charged within 6 hours or green LED lamp
Do not place any object on AC adapter during charging.
Only use the specified battery charger(S-1B) and the specified battery pack(S-1B).
The use of any battery pack other than the specified one may cause smoke or fire,
equipment damage, injury or death.

Warning
Only use the specified battery charger(S-11).
Do not use AC power other than the allowable power indicated.
Do not let battery(S-1B) or the terminal of the specified charger be short-
circuited. Excessive current flow may cause damage to the equipment and
persons.
Avoid the use of S1 in a hazardous location in which harmful gas or flammable
gas can generate. In such conditions, the electrical arc of the fusion splicer can
result in bursting or fire.
Do not use compressed gas to clean S1.
If you carry the transport case connected with a belt, first check the belt is
strong enough. The worn belt may fail to sustain the case, resulting in equipment
loss or injury.
Wear safety glasses for protection from glass fibers. Glass fibers may cause serious
damage to eyes or skin tissue.
Do not use the splicer in high temperature conditions. Doing so may cause
equipment loss or injury.
Do not use a splicer in high temperature conditions. Doing so may cause
equipment loss or injury.

During or after heating protection sleeves in the tube heater, do not touch both
parts. Injury from high temperature could occur.
Do not place S1 in unstable locations. If the equipment is dropped, injury or
equipment damage could occur.
S1 is a precision instrument. It should be handled with care and precision. When
transporting it, use its specified transport case to protect it from dust, dust,
moisture, shock and impact.
Replace the electrodes the right way.
Only use the specified electrodes.
 Place the new electrode in the right position.
 Replace the electrodes in pairs.
Not doing so may cause abnormal arc and equipment damage or deterioration in
splice performance.
Only use ethyl alcohol (more than 96 %) to clean the splicer including object
lenses, V-grooves, wind-proof glass, LCD monitor, and the main body.
To prevent modification, discoloration and low performance, do not use any kind
of chemicals.
Do not use lubricants including oil and grease for S1. Doing so may cause
performance deterioration and equipment damage.
Do not store the equipment in high-temperature or high-humidity conditions.
Equipment damage could occur.
Qualified experts should check up technical matters concerning S1. Not doing so
may cause fire or electric shock. Please contact qualified service personnel in
Ilsintech(Inc.) and get A/S service.

 When yellow LED blinks, disconnect the AC cord and connect
it again after ten minutes.
 Protective devices are built in the battery of S1(S-1B) and so
prevent over arc, over charge and overload. When these
protection functions are performed, its power is automatically
shut off. In this case, after ten seconds, connect the DC plug of
the charger to “charger” jack on the left to S1 and then connect
AC cord to the power outlet. And so, the shut-off will be canceled
and charging begins.
Connect the DC plug of the AC specified
charger to “charger” jack on the left to S1.
When normal AC voltage is supplied, the
green light of the AC adapter turns on.
Please use only the normal power and make
sure more than 250V is not supplied.
Connect the AC power cord of the charger to
the AC outlet supplied with normal power.
Connect 12V car cigar-jack to “DC IN” jack
on the left to S1 main unit. Only use the
specified cord.

products. The car battery could be overpowered.
Have an optional large capacity battery(S-SB) installed on the lower part of S1 and
connect the connection cord to “DC IN 12V” jack on the left part of S1.
Please make sure that there is more than 20% battery capacity for even a few
connections.

Connect DC cord of specified charger S-11 to “CHARGER” jack on the left part of
large-capacity battery. Connect AC cord to the outlet with the appropriate AC
voltage. The charging LED light blinks red → green → yellow in sequence and the
LED lights up red again, which means charging has begun. It takes approximately 3
hours for the built-in battery and 6 hours for the large-capacity battery to be
completely charged. Keep charging for buffing for about 30 minutes after the green
light is turned on.
Connect DC cord first and then AC cord to the battery at all
times.
