Splicing Problem Solving
8.1
When loss is high
Any dust or foreign substance on the fiber surface may cause a poor splice.
Clean the fiber surface sufficiently.
Do not clean the fiber after cleaving to prevent dust from being gathered
in the fiber cross section.
Lower fibers into V-grooves rather than pushing in from the sides.
Fiber holders will facilitate proper insertion.
Any foreign substance on V-groove hinders the correct alignment.
Keep the V-groove clean at all times.
Electrode condition.
When an electrode contains an abrasion or its tip is bent and dirty,
replace the electrodes.
Arc amount and arc time are inappropriate.
Check the setting of arc amount and arc time to reset them with
proper values.
Changes in arc time and amount are generally considered to be
minor adjustments to factory settings.
Inappropriate splice mode.
Check whether appropriate splice mode is selected for the fiber
8.2
Abnormal splicing operation
Alignment operation is repeated.
Open the wind cover again and then close.
If discontinues, open the wind cover, press
and then turn off
the power and contact Belden.
The error message
“Too Long Fiber” is continuously
generated.
Turn off the power and contact Belden.
