Preface
Description
The Tempo Communications 915FS Optical Fiber Fusion Splicer is intended to fuse bers, resulting in low splice loss and
long-term stable splices. Splice loss depends on certain conditions such as ber preparation, splicing parameters, and ber
condition.
The 915FS fusion splicer uses an active cladding alignment technology in which alignment of the ber is performed in all
three axis. This allows the technician to complete fusion splices with low splice losses as with core alignment splicers and far
surpassing the performance of V-Groove splicers.
The 915FS is perfectly suited for all FTT(x) and P2P applications.

Important Safety Information (cont’d)
Electric shock hazard:
Contact with live circuits could result in severe injury or death.
Wear eye protection when using this tool.
Fiber fragments can be extremely dangerous if they come into contacts with
eyes or skin or are ingested.
Disconnect AC power cord from AC adapter inlet or wall socket (outlet) immediately if user
observes the following or if the splicer receives the following faults:
• Fumes, bad odor, noise, or overheat occurs.
• Liquid or foreign matter falls into cabinet.
• Splicer is damaged or dropped.
If these faults occur, return unit to Tempo Communications service center for repair. Leaving
splicer in a damaged state could cause equipment failure, electric shock or re, and could result
in severe injury or death.
Electric shock hazard:
• Use only AC adapter or battery charger designed for this splicer. Using an improper AC power
source could cause fuming, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• Do not disassemble or modify splicer, AC adapter, or battery. Do not remove or bypass any
electrical or mechanical device (e.g., fuse or safety switch) incorporated into design and
manufacturing of this equipment.
• Never operate tool in an environment where ammable liquids or vapors exist. Risk of re or
explosion could result from the tool’s electrical arc in such an environment.
• Do not use compressed gas or canned air to clean tool. They may contain ammable
materials that could ignite during electrical discharge.
• Do not touch electrodes when splicer is on and power is supplied to unit. The electrodes
generate high voltage and high temperatures that could cause a severe shock or burn.
• Turn tool off and disconnect AC power cord before replacing electrodes.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.

Important Safety Information (cont’d)
Electric shock hazard: Use only proper power source.
• Check AC power source before use. Proper AC power source is 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz.
Proper DC power source is 10–12 VDC. Improper AC or DC power source could cause fuming,
electric shock, or equipment damage.
• AC generators commonly produce abnormally high AC output voltage or irregular frequencies.
Measure output AC voltage with a circuit tester before connecting the AC power cord. Such
abnormally high voltage or frequency from a generator could cause fuming, electric shock, or
equipment damage. Make sure generator is regularly checked and serviced.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.
Electric shock hazard:
• Do not modify, abuse, heat, or excessively pull on power cord. Use of a damaged cord could
cause fuming, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• This tool uses a three-prong (core) AC power cord that contains an earthed ground safety
mechanism. This tool must be grounded. Use only the supplied power cord. Never use a two-
prong (core) power cord, extension cord, or plug.
• Connect AC power cord properly to splicer (inlet) and wall socket (outlet). When inserting
AC plug, make sure there is no dust or dirt on terminals. Engage by pressing the female plug
into the splicer (inlet) and the male plug into the wall socket (outlet) until both plugs are fully
seated. Incomplete engagement could cause fuming, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• Do not short-circuit the terminals of AC adapter and optional battery. Excessive electrical
current could cause fuming, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• Do not touch the splicer, AC power cord, and AC plugs with wet hands.
• Do not operate splicer near hot objects, in hot temperature environments, in dusty/humid
atmospheres or when condensation is present on the tool. This may result in electric shock,
splicer malfunction, or poor splicing performance.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.

Important Safety Information (cont’d)
Explosion hazard: Follow these instructions when using lithium-ion battery:
• Do not charge battery with other methods than instructed.
• Do not dispose of battery in an incinerator or re.
• Do not charge or discharge battery near a ame or in direct sunlight.
• Do not excessively shake or jar battery.
• If battery leaks liquid residue, be careful handling battery so liquid does not contact skin or
eyes. If skin or eyes are contacted, immediately wash thoroughly and seek medical attention.
Dispose of battery and order replacement from Tempo.
• If charge did not complete in four hours or the “CHARGE” LED is constantly on, stop charging
immediately and call Tempo service center for repair.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.
Battery safety:
• Do not allow anything to contact the battery terminals.
• Do not immerse batteries in liquid. Liquid may create a short circuit and damage the battery.
If batteries are immersed, contact your service center for proper handling.
• Do not place the battery into a pocket, tool pouch, or tool box with conductive objects.
Conductive objects may create a short circuit and damage the battery.
• Do not place a battery on moist ground or grass. Moisture may create a short circuit and
damage the battery.
• Do not store the battery at more than 122 °F (50 °C) or less than –4 °F (–20 °C). Damage to
the battery can result.
• Do not use another manufacturer’s charger. Other manufacturers’ chargers may overcharge
and damage the battery.
• Do not attempt to open the battery. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury and may damage the unit.

• Do not store tool in areas of extremely high temperature and humidity.
• Do not touch protection sleeve or tube heater during or immediately after heating. These
surfaces are very hot and touching them may result in burns.
• Do not place tool in an unstable or unbalanced position. Tool may shift or lose balance,
causing unit to fall.
• This tool is precision adjusted and aligned. Do not allow unit to receive a strong shock or
impact. Use supplied carrying case for transportation and storage. Carrying case protects
tool from damage, moisture, vibration, and shock.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury and may damage the unit.
Follow these instructions for handling electrodes:
• Use only specied electrodes.
• Set new electrodes in correct position.
• Replace electrodes as a pair.
Failure to observe this precaution may cause abnormal arc discharge, which may result in
equipment damage or degradation in splicing performance.
• Do not use any chemical other than pure alcohol (99% or greater) to clean the objective lens,
V-groove, mirror, LCD monitor, etc. Use of other chemicals may cause blurring, discoloration,
damage, or deterioration.
• This tool requires no lubrication. Oil or grease may degrade the splicing performance and
damage the splicer.
• This equipment must be repaired or adjusted by a qualied technician or engineer. Incorrect
repair may cause re or electric shock. Contact Tempo service center for repair.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury and may damage the unit.
