3. 설정
3.1 초기 충전
Before first use, ensure both the GX37 Fusion Splicer and QX45 OTDR are fully charged. Connect the provided AC adapters to the respective devices and a power outlet. The battery indicator on each device will show charging status.
3.2 GX37 Fusion Splicer Preparation
- Open the splicer lid and ensure the fiber clamps and V-grooves are clean.
- Verify that the spare electrodes are correctly installed or replace them if necessary.
- Place the cooling tray in an accessible location for post-splicing fiber cooling.
3.3 QX45 OTDR Preparation
- Connect the 500m SM OTDR launch cable box to the OTDR's optical port when performing measurements that require a launch fiber.
- Ensure the optical connector is clean before connecting to the OTDR.
4. 사용 설명서
4.1 KomShine GX37 Fusion Splicer Operation
The GX37 Fusion Splicer utilizes core alignment technology for precise fiber splicing.
- 섬유질 준비: Use the fiber stripper to remove the fiber coating, then clean the bare fiber with an alcohol wipe. Use the KF-52 cleaver to achieve a precise 90-degree fiber end face.
- 광섬유 배치: Carefully place the prepared fibers into the V-grooves of the splicer, ensuring they are properly seated and secured by the clamps.
- 접합 과정: Close the splicer lid. The device will automatically align the fiber cores and initiate the fusion splicing process. The splicing loss is typically 0.02dB.
- 보호: After successful splicing, remove the fiber, slide a protection sleeve over the splice point, and place it in the heating oven of the splicer to shrink the sleeve.
- 냉각: Allow the protected splice to cool on the cooling tray before further handling.
4.2 KomShine QX45 Mini SM OTDR Operation
The QX45 OTDR offers various functions for fiber optic network testing.
Figure 5: The KomShine QX45 OTDR with its quick guide, illustrating basic operation steps.
4.2.1 Basic OTDR Test
- Power on the QX45 OTDR.
- Connect the fiber under test to the OTDR's optical port.
- Select the desired test parameters (e.g., wavelength 1310nm or 1550nm, pulse width, range).
- Press the 'Start' button to begin the measurement. The OTDR will display a trace and event table.
4.2.2 Link Map Function
The Link Map function provides a simplified graphical representation of fiber events.
Figure 6: The Link Map function on the QX45 OTDR, showing a graphical display of events along the fiber link.
This feature displays the length, event type, and breakpoint location of optical fiber links. A single-click test enables instant isolation and evaluation of fiber failures.
4.2.3 Visible Light Source (VFL)
The built-in 10mW VFL emits a continuous or modulated red light. It is used for checking continuity of patchcords, launch fibers, or short fiber trunks. Breaks and bends in the fiber can be visually identified as the visible light exits the fiber at fault locations.
4.2.4 Testing Three-level Splitters
The QX45 OTDR is capable of testing multi-level splitters, up to 1:32 configurations.

This function allows for detailed analysis of loss and reflection characteristics through complex splitter networks.
4.2.5 QX45 Emulation Software
The powerful post-processing software allows for analyzing and editing trace data on a PC. The Report Creation Wizard function provides step-by-step guidance for generating comprehensive reports in a printable PDF format.
5. 유지관리
5.1 청소
- V자형 홈과 섬유 필터를 정기적으로 청소하십시오.amps of the GX37 splicer with a cotton swab and alcohol.
- Keep optical connectors on the QX45 OTDR clean using appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools.
- Wipe the exterior of both devices with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
5.2 배터리 관리
- The devices use Lithium-Ion batteries. For optimal battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
- 장기간 사용하지 않을 때는 기기를 서늘하고 건조한 곳에 보관하십시오.
