Preparing for Cabling

2.1 Planning Fiber Routes
1.

Based on the information box position, residence decoration, and user requirements,
determine the cabling route (preferably the route along the baseboard, door frame,cabinet door, eave, and ceiling, avoid cracks and aging walls and places that need to becleaned frequently). Ensure that the route is safe and concealed, and away from heatsources and potential hazards.

2.

Select the cabling route in a corridor based on the actual scenario. The principle is asfollows: Route cables in a straight line on baseboard.

3.

Measure the distance between the FAT and the terminal box and select a transparent
optical cable of an appropriate length.

4.

Make sure path of the transparent cable follows the valid background or wall. Refer see

2 Preparing for Cabling

Construction is not allowed or not recommended in the following scenarios due toinsufficient surface adhesion or requirements on the bending radius of optical cables.

Table 2-2 Not allowed or not recommended construction
Scenario

Description

Weak attaching
scenario

If the surface is made ofsmooth materials such as
glass cement, glass, andglazed marble, the hot melt
adhesive cannot be attachedto the background.
Therefore, it is notrecommended that thetransparent optical cable berouted on such surfaces.

Flammable,
non-temperatur
e resistant, andsoft surfaces

The temperature of the fiber
installation kit (hot-meltadhesive tool) is high during
working. If the surface ismade of flammable or
non-high-temperature-resist
ant materials, such as soft
wallpaper (EPP material), or
PVC resin wallpaper, thewall may be burnt or
damaged. Therefore, you
are not recommended to use
the hot-melt adhesive toolon such surfaces.

Scenario

Description

PicturePassing throughthe upper sideof a multi-layer
door frame

If there is no seam or spacefor routing the optical cableon the top of a door frame,
do not route transparent
optical cables there.

Aluminumalloy doorframe

An aluminum alloy door
frame with a sliding door
will definitely break the
optical cable. Therefore, do
not route transparent opticalcables there.

Dusty andlow-adhesion
surface

For dirty walls that cannot
be cleaned, diatom mudwalls, granular walls, andother walls with roughsurfaces, hot melt adhesive
may not be able to attach
the optical cable. Therefore,
do not route transparent
optical cables there.

Moist wall

If a wall may become moist
due to seasonal changes, thewall surface may flake off.
Therefore, do not routetransparent optical cables
there.

Non-indoor
scenario

Transparent optical cables cannot be routed outdoors, through pipes(pulling force ≥ 40 N), or vertically.

2.2 Cleaning the Cable Route

After cleaning a wall, you can touch the wall with your hands. If there is no dust on yourhands, the wall is clean.
Step 1 Clean the indoor cabling route and remove the dust. It is recommended that dry rags andkitchen paper be used for cleaning.

7 Other Risks or Precautions

7

Other Risks or Precautions

Other Risks or Precautions
1.

Route the optical fiber in only one direction (do not move the FIK back and forth).

2.

Route a cable at an even speed. If the cabling speed is too fast, the optical cable may not
be securely attached. If the cabling speed is too slow, the adhesive may melt too muchand drop off the optical cable. The specific speed depends on the wall surface. Ensurethat the hot melt adhesive is fully melted.

3.

During cabling, do not press the optical fiber hard with the FIK head; otherwise, theoptical fiber may be broken.

4.

During the construction, ensure that the speed is even and the bending radius at theinternal and external corners is greater than or equal to the minimum bending radius of
the corresponding optical cable.

7 Other Risks or Precautions

5.

If the optical cable is separated from the heating slot, stop the construction immediately.
Before you continue to lay out the optical cable, open the heating head and place thecable into the groove of the heating head.

6.

Do not route a cable from the top of the door frame. Otherwise, the cable may besqueezed.

7.

Do not bump the front end of the heating head. Do not perform construction in scenarios
where cable routing is allowed. Do not press the front end of the heating head withexcessive force during construction.

8.

If the resistance is large when the optical cable is pulled (especially in the rollback
scenario), stop the construction immediately and check whether the optical cable isattached to the melted adhesive at the cable inlet of the FIK and on the cable drum. In
this case, separate the optical cable from the residual adhesive in a timely manner toensure that the optical cable can be pulled smoothly.

7 Other Risks or Precautions

The temperature of the heating head at the front end of the tool is about 155°C. Somewallpapers may be scalded with dents. Therefore, in scenarios with risks such as plastic
wallpapers or other materials that are not heat-resistant, route the cable at invisible
positions first, and consult the customer's opinion about the result. If the customer agrees,continue with the cable routing.

10. If the cabling route is blocked by large furniture, or the gap between the furniture and thewall is too narrow to use the tool for cabling, you need to remove the optical cable fromthe tool, route it without the tool, and secure it using a hot-melt glue tool or single-sided
waterproof tape.
11. If cable routing fails, for example, a fiber cut occurs, cut off the optical cable in place
and redeploy a new optical cable. If a fiber cut occurs near the end of the construction,
splicing is recommended in a place that does not affect the appearance of the fiber. In
this case, reserve 30–40 cm of optical cable for splicing, and use the hot-melt glue tool toattach the splice protection sleeve to the baseboard. The procedure is as follows:
To repair a fiber cut, perform the following steps:
1. Use a tool such as diagonal pliers to cut
the optical cable at the fiber cut point along
the middle.

2. Strip the optical cable from the middle toexpose the transparent fiber.

3. If you cannot find the fiber after stripping
the optical cable, use a pen-style visual fault
locator to locate the fiber.

4. After splicing the fibers, attach the spliceprotection sleeve to the baseboard. Use a
hot-melt glue tool to dispense adhesive tocover the splice protection sleeve, and usean adhesive spreader to make the adhesive
evenly distributed.

FAQ

8.1 How to Clean Residual Adhesive
Question
How do I clean the residual adhesive from the heating head of the FIK after it has been used
for a period of time?

AnswerAfter each use, check for residual adhesive at the heating head.


If there is residual adhesive on the metal part, use fingernails to remove most of theresidual adhesive at room temperature. If there is still some residual adhesive that cannot
be cleaned by hand, heat the tool and use the adhesive scrapper to remove the residualadhesive gently (Be careful not to scrape vigorously in the heating state, otherwise theceramic coating on the metal part and the head of adhesive scrapper will be damaged).
Clean the residual adhesive on the metal part after each construction and then close theheating head.



If there is residual adhesive on a plastic part, use fingernails to remove the residualadhesive at room temperature, or use a flat-head screwdriver, knife or other blade tools
to remove the residual adhesive.

8.5 Routed Transparent Optical Cable Has White Lines orPoor Adhesion

Possible Causes

The heating temperature of the hot-melt adhesive tool does not reach the preset
temperature (170°C for 1.2 x 1.6 mm optical cables).



The optical cable is routed too fast. As a result, the hot-melt adhesive on the transparent
optical cable is not completely melted.

The base material of the cabling wall does not meet the requirements. The wall surface isdamp or the base material is easy to fall off.

Handling Process
Step 1 Check whether the hot-melt adhesive tool LCD displays the correct temperature.
Step 2 The cabling speed should not be too fast. Ensure that the glue is fully heated and melted andthe optical cable is transparent after construction. The cabling speed should be about 1 m/min.
Step 3 Ensure that the cabling path is clean and tidy. Do not route a cable on damp walls or walls
where latex paint easily falls off. The cable routing will intensify the peeling of latex paint.
----End

8.6 Transparent Optical Cable Too Short
Possible Causes
The cabling route length is not measured in advance or the cabling route length is not accurate
when transparent optical cables are selected.

Handling Process
Use ATBs or splicing for extension or lay a new transparent optical cable from the beginning.

8.7 Transparent Optical Cable Breaks During Cabling
Possible Causes

During the routing, the optical cable is folded or broken, or the optical cable is pulledwith excessive force.

The hot-melt adhesive tool heats the same part of the optical cable for a long time.

Handling Process
Step 1 Perform construction according to the standard procedure and minimize cable pulling. In
addition, do not keep the hot-melt adhesive tool heating the same position for more than 1
minute. If the construction is suspended for more than 1 minute, remove the transparent
optical cable from the heating head or turn off the power supply of the hot-melt adhesive tool.
Step 2 If the fiber cut occurs near the end of the construction or in a hidden position such as a cornerof a wall, splicing is recommended.
To repair a fiber cut, perform the following steps:
1. Use a tool such as diagonal pliers to cut
the optical cable at the fiber cut point along
the middle. Strip the optical cable from the
middle to expose the transparent fiber

2. If you cannot find the fiber after stripping
the optical cable, use a pen-style visual fault
locator to locate the fiber.

3. Strip off the coating of the bare fibers,clean the stripped fibers, cut the fibers for a
fixed-length, and splice the fibers.

4. After splicing the fibers, attach the spliceprotection sleeve to the baseboard. Use a
hot-melt glue tool to dispense adhesive tocover the splice protection sleeve, and usean adhesive spreader to make the adhesive
evenly distributed.

Step 4 Lay a new transparent optical cable from the beginning.
----End8.8 Door Requirements in the Door Gap Cabling Scenario
Problem Description
What are the door requirements for routing an optical cable into a room through a door gap?

Answer

The gap between the lower edge of the door and the floor is greater than 3 mm, and thegap in the axial direction of the door is also greater than 3 mm.



There is no door threshold.



The floor is level.

An optical cable cannot be routed into a room from the top of the door.

This routing mode does not apply to seamless sliding doors.

8.9 Backup Powering
Problem Description
How to back up the power for emergency use, when default battery runs out?

Answer
The FIK supports a mobile power bank. A mobile power bank must use a standard 5 V/3 A
charging cable and charging adapter that meet the certification requirements to obtain aqualified heating power (13–15 W). If an unqualified charging cable or charging adapter isused, the heating power may be insufficient to deliver the rated heating temperature, and theadhesive on the optical cable may not be fully melted.
