S153A ver.2 Hand Held Active Alignment Splicer
S153A ver.2 Hand Held Active Alignment Splicer
The S153A Active 3 Axis Cladding Alignment Fusion Splicer has been enhanced and updated to version 2. The battery is automatically charged internally when connected to AC mains power even during operation. The new illumination lamp lights up a wide area around the V-grooves and helps operation in low light environment. The redesigned and strengthened heater simplifies the protection sleeve load- ing process.
S153A is the first choice for low cost field splicing equipment. The Active V-Groove technology used on the S153A deliv- ers low loss splices with ease while eliminating common Fixed V-Groove splicing errors.
Using the rugged metal body, the S153A is designed to endure harsh operating conditions by improving shock/impact resistance with rubber pads embedded on 4 corners of the splicer body. It also achieves water resistance compliant to IPX2 and dust resis- tance compliant to IP5X.
Another key feature of the S153A is the significantly reduced operation time. Protection sleeve shrink time is mere 25 seconds, while splicing requires only 9 seconds. Power saving technology used in these machines allows up to 200 splicing cycles (splicing and heating) with 2 built in rechargeable batteries.
By combining ease of use, improved speed, precision, durability and portability, the S153A Fusion Splicer becomes your first choice for a versatile low cost splicer with a wide range of applications.
*¹ By using semi-auto mode for splicing and pre-heating mode for heating.
*² By using 2-batteries, semi-auto mode for splicing and regular mode for heating.
S153A passed criteria as below *³
76 cm Drops from 5 different angles
IPX2 rating drip proof *⁴
IP5X rating dust proof *⁵
*³ Above tests were performed at Lightera Co., Labs, and do not guarantee that the machine will be undamaged under these conditions.
*⁴ IPX2 rating drip proof means that the machine can be exposed to 3 mm/min drip from 4 different angles with 15° tilt for 2.5 min each and still functions.
*⁵ IP5X rating dust proof means that the machine can be exposed to dust particles with a diameter of 0.1 to 25 μm for 8 hours and still functions.
