Download FUSION SPLICER

Safety Information
The EC1 Fusion Splicer is part of the Ericsson family of
compact fusion splicers designed to meet all the needs
associated with repairs and installations of fiber optic cable in
trunk, local, data or cable-TV networks. It is distinguished by
its simplicity of operation and portability, offering efficient
splicing at low-cost.
In line with its user-friendliness, the EC1 comes with six predefined splicing programs that handle the most common
types of single fiber splicing. In the section on Basic Operation you can read about these programs, as well as follow
step-by-step through the use of the splicer. In addition, the
EC1 allows you to design your own splicer programs. These
are discussed as part of the section on Advanced Functions,
along with details about user options.
In spite of EC1’s ease of use, though, you should always keep
in mind several pieces of safety and maintenance information.
