How to Use a HS-12 Fiber Optic Thermal Stripper

1. Turn on The Stripper

   Switch the HS-12 thermal stripper on, and never forget to adjust the thermal strippers settings. Different types of fibers require different settings and temperature.

2. Place The Fiber

   Move the thermal stripper’s sliding part outward until it cannot be pulled anymore. Open the sliding part cover and the heater cover, and place the fiber with its holder in the sliding part.

3. Close the Slider Cover

   Close the sliding part cover with the fiber holder inside it.

4. Slide Inward

   Slide the fiber holder part toward the thermal heater, with its cover closed. Keep the heater cover open to look and make sure you slide until the fiber length is accurate.

5. Close Heater’s Cover

   Close the thermal heater cover and it will start heating automatically. You will have to wait until the temperature light starts to blink.

6. Pull Slider Outward

   After you see the temperature light blinking, hold both covers tightly and pull the slider away from the thermal heater. The heated coating will be removed and the fiber will be stripped and ready for cleaving then fusion splicing.
