6 Operating Instruction

1) Connect to a power source with appropriate wiring (DC/DC converter only) and press power switch.

The Indication Lamp (LED) lights red to indicate power is being supplied to the S218R-Plus.

2) The LED color will change from red to green approximately 15 seconds later to indicate that the

S218R-Pkus is warmed up and ready to use.

3) Hold the fiber with a fiber holder, with approximately 30mm (25 –35mm) of fiber end protruding from

the holder. Open the Holder clamp lid and the Heater lid, and place the fiber holder firmly in the Holder

clamp.

4) Ensure that the fiber rests in the heating area and the fiber

end is within Min. and Max. line of the Heater. Refer to the

drawing.

5) Close the Heater’s lid first, and then the Holder clamp lid.

6) Firmly grasp the Heater lid and the Holder clamp’s lid, and

wait until flashing of the indication LED stops.

Then, pull the holder clamp away from the Heater slowly.

(In case of the rollable-ribbon, pull more slowly)

7) Open the Holder clamp lid and the Heater lid and remove the

fiber holder.

8) Remove coating material refuse from the Heater and clean the heating area.

CAUTION : Do not touch the Heater.

9) When finishing to working of S218R-plus, press power switch again.

If not used the S218R-Plus will auto power off after 10 minutes. (Auto Power OFF)

7 Adjusting temperature

The temperature can be changed by rotating

temperature trimmer. (Refer to right drawing.)

Each scale shows 20 degree C step.

8 Setting power save mode

Save mode saves consumption of electrical power.

The mode is set to Normal mode at shipping.

The mode can be changed by setting mode switch to “SAVE”

position.

In the save mode, S218R-Plus cuts heater power and reduces the power consumption to a few mA during

the waiting time.

So it will take more time to raise the heater temperature enough for use after leaving in this mode for a

few minutes.
