WARNING
CAUTION
!
!
PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
•NEVER touch or put your hands or fingers on the ferrule/plug cassette block
while the heating process has been started or interrupted. Actual temperature
of the ferrule cassette is indicated on the LCD display. Touching the hot
ferrule/plug cassette may result in serious injury.
•NEVER detach the cassette from the tray immediately after finishing the
heating process. Allow enough time for it to cool. Actual temperature of the
ferrule cassette after finishing or interrupting the heating process is indicated
on the LCD display.
•NEVER touch the control panel or electrical cord with wet or damp body parts
as it may cause severe shock or injury.
•NEVER remove the bottom cover of the unit while main power plug is
connected to electricity. Opening the unit may cause electric shock, severe
injury, flash burn or death.
•ALWAYS use the unit at the rated voltage, as indicated on rear panel, above
the inlet plug. As the unit requires proper grounding use 3-wire plug cord with
a Type 3 or better grounding.
•ALWAYS turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the outlet in the
event of the following:
-changing the fuse
-any strange smells, sounds or smoke arise from the unit
-the unit does not correctly respond to the commands indicated on LCD
display
-temperature of the curing process rises far above the preset
temperature (by more than 10°C)
•ALWAYS close the protective closure before starting the heating process. Do
not touch the cassette and ensure the protective cover remains closed during
the heating process
WARNING
CAUTION
!
!
•NEVER perform any of the following. Doing so may lead to fire, electrocution
or other serious accident:
-hit or subject the unit to any kind of shock
-place the unit on an unsteady surface
-forcibly bend and place heavy objects on the unit
-cover the unit while in operation with any kind of cover disabling proper
natural ventilating

CHAPTER 1
1.1 Introduction
OMC-W36 is a user programmable heat oven with a vertical tray used for
hardening the epoxies used during the assembly of fiber optic connectors. It is
primary intended to heat the fiber optic ferrules and plug type fiber optic connectors
in which the epoxies bond the optical fiber. Heating process usually consists of three
(3) subsequent periods (steps):
-warm up period: during this period the heat oven heats the cassette
with loaded fiber optic parts (ferrules, plugs). This time period cannot
be set by customer and is determined by internal components and
ambient temperature. This period can be interrupted manually by the
operator at anytime
-cure period: during this period the temperature of the cassette remains
stable at certain temperature level for desired time. The temperature
and time depends on epoxies manufacturer recommendations.
Operator can set cure temperature and cure time manually. This period
can be interrupted manually by the operator at anytime
-cool down period: as soon as the cure time is over, the cassette starts
to cool. Cooling is caused only by the influence of an ambient
environment. The unit remains in this condition unless the operator
starts the heating process again.

OMC-W36 is recommended for curing the following types of fiber optic
ferrules/connectors:
-standard 2.5 mm ceramic, glass and metal singlemode or multimode
ferrules
-standard 1.25 mm ceramic, glass and metal singlemode or multimode
ferrules
-standard plug type fiber optic connectors with 2.5 mm ferrules (FC, SC,
ST, E2000, DIN, etc.)
-standard plug type fiber optic connectors with 1.25 mm ferrules (LC,
MU, etc.)
-FSMA905 and FSMA906 plug type connectors with 3 mm ferrule

1.3 Heat oven description, names and functions of the parts
The OMC-W36 heat oven consist of three (3) main parts:
-the main unit
-cord holder
-cassettes for ferrules/plugs
The main unit houses all crucial electrical and electronic components that are
necessary for proper function of the unit. Front and back view of the main unit with
names of each part of main unit is shown on figure 1.3.1.

The cord holder is an important part of the heat oven as it enables to hold small or
large fiber coils during the heating process and during loading/unloading the
cassettes. The cord holder is easily adjustable to the form that will suit most tail
lengths and coil diameters. The cord holder consists of six (6) parts:
-two long and one short steel bars (total 3 pcs)
-two clamps (total 2 pcs)
-one stop ring (total 1 pce)
Assembled cord holder is shown on fig. 1.3.2.
