The Optilink Electrical and Communications PM servicing is designed to provide ongoing regular maintenance on plant and equipment reducing breakdowns and overall maintenance costs. This is how we go about it.

• The PM Servicing involves producing documentation detailing a preventative maintenance plan summarising all the electrical equipment and preventative maintenance activities Optilink will take for your home or business. This is generally achieved by a site visit upon which a report will be given to you on completion.

• Optilink Electrical & Communications will provide a quotation for rectification works if required stated in the schedule detailed in the Preventative Maintenance Plan documentation.

• Testing and troubleshooting. Light source and power meter testing, OTDR testing and analysis, fault finding and rectification.
• Fusion splicing. Both single mode and multimode fibres.

What is Fusion Splicing?

Fusion splicing is the process of joining bare fibres together to form a continuous link. This occurs by use of a finely tuned electric arc, the machine used is a Fusion Splicer.
Fusion Splicing is used in applications such as:
Mid cable joins are the most common form of join and are used to create long runs of cable. The cable is laid out through the pit system and joined to the next segment until it reaches its destination.
Cable repair is another application of the mid cable join. This usually occurs from unfortunate excavation mishaps and or cutting of cabling unknown to other trades.
Splicing at the patch panel is sometimes a viable alternative to “direct” terminating, most commonly when terminating single mode cables at the patch panel. Whilst it is possible to hand terminate single mode fibres, it is not the commonly approved practice. With the smaller size of the core in single mode fibre, any small polishing imperfections can substantially obscure the core, causing losses.
Optilink can assist you in providing the necessary fusion splicing expertise without the added cost of training your personnel and tooling.

Safety Switches Saves Lives
These devices are known by consumers as safety switches, they are also known as a ‘Residual Current Device’ (RCD).

• Many of the electrical fatalities in Australia may have been prevented if a safety switch was installed or a portable safety switch was used.
• It is mandatory that safety switches are installed in all new premises and in premises where electrical power circuits are added. Also where power points are added on an existing circuit whether they be single or three phase points.
• Safety switches need to be tested regularly to ensure that all power and lighting circuits are protected. Use the Test Button of the safety switch to test that it switches off. This will isolate the power for most dangerous situations that arise. Portable safety switches can be bought from most hardware stores and are recommended for protection when using power tools.

Smoke alarms
Smoke from fire is toxic.
You need an early warning system in place to give you family or business employees enough time to evacuate in case of an Emergency
A smoke alarm can provide the early warning you need and is the first step in your home or business fire safety plan.
New legislation now requires smoke alarms to be installed in all residential properties. Optilink use and recommend 240V alarms with a back up battery.
Optilink Electrical & Communications recommend you;

• All Houses and Factory/ Commercial Premises have a suitable number of working smoke alarms installed.
• There should be smoke alarms on every level of your home and or business
• The Australian Standards AS3786 approved alarms should be used.
• Hard wired alarms must be fitted by a qualified electrician.
• Smoke alarms must be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• All smoke alarms should be tested regularly and at least monthly.
• You should replace the battery in each smoke alarm at least once a year.

Property safety reports
We can do a property safety report and give a detailed schedule of what was completed to specification and Current Australian Standards.

General electrical safety tips

• Extension leads with only two prongs are not ‘earthed’ and are dangerous.
• Fully unwind extension leads before you use them so that they don’t run the risk of overheating.
• Never use a double adaptor in a single power point.
• When tiling around light fittings, switches or power points, get a licensed electrician to remove the light plates and de-energise any exposed wires before you begin.
• Check for wires before drilling into walls, floors and ceilings. When a metal drill comes into contact with concealed wiring, it can spell disaster for the user.
• Look up and around you. When using ladders or carrying other tall objects, always look out for powerlines and take care to avoid them.
• Avoid contact with underground cables. Check your switchboard for a diagram or call ‘Dial Before You Dig’ on 1100.
• When painting eaves, replacing or cleaning gutters, avoid getting close to the electrical wires that connect your home to the power poles.
• When changing a blown light bulb, make sure the power is off to avoid being harmed by exposed filaments.
