Identification
These instructions have been made to support
the users of the fiber blowing machine
MicroFlow TOUCH. The machine type can be
identified by the type plate on the machine.
The type plate provides information about
serial number, year of production and name
and address of the manufacturer.
It is recommended to read this instruction
carefully and become familiar with the
functionality and maintenance of the fiber
blowing machine before use.
Application
The fiber blowing machine MicroFlow TOUCH is
constructed for blowing fiber optic cables with
a diameter of 0.8 to 5 mm into microducts with
an outer diameter of 5-16 mm.
We do not recommend use for other
applications.
Always use adaptor plates designed for the
actual diameter of cable and duct.
It is very important to use the correct adaptor
plates. If the adaptor plates do not fit the duct,
dangerous situations may occur.
The machine comes in a carrying case. When
the machine is not in use or during
transportation, always store it in the carrying
case.
Mounting and Preparations
Make sure to place the machine on a stable
foundation and to fasten it to withstand the
forces, which occur during use.
The adaptor plates in the machine must fit the
actual size of the fiber cable and the microduct
the cable is to be blown into.
The supply of fiber cable from a cable drum or
similar must be set up in a way where the fiber
cable is supplied to the machine evenly and
with the lowest force possible.
The microduct that the cable is blown into,
should be without sharp corners or bends.
Before blowing it is recommended to blow a
foam plug through the duct. This ensures that
the fiber cable can get all the way through the
duct without getting stuck.
Supply of Compressed Air and
Electricity
It is very important that the quality and volume
of compressed air for blowing is correct and
meets specifications. If there is water in the
compressed air or too low pressure and
volume of compressed air, it will create
insufficient results. The compressed air must
be filtered, cooled and dried to avoid moisture
and dirt in the microduct.
MicroFlow TOUCH uses 24V DC and can be
connected to 100-240V AC, 50/60 Hz with the
included transformer. The 100-240V AC power
supply must be stable and at least 2A.
