General information
Introduction
This fusion splicer 41S is a fusion splicer which can
connect a single optical fiber.
Moreover, a new function was added and made the
41S splicer much improved in versatility.
In order to master 41S, please read this instruction
manual.
Splice mode
The 41S has not only standard splice modes, but also automatic modes, AUTO mode.
The AUTO mode consists of [SM AUTO], [MM AUTO], [NZ AUTO] , [DS AUTO] mode.
When using AUTO mode, the automatic arc calibration function is enabled.
The standard modes consists of [SM] for SMF (ITU-T G652), [NZ] for NZDSF (ITU-T G655),
[DS] for DSF (ITU-T G653) and [MM] for MMF (ITU-T G651). This mode requires executing
[Arc Calibration] before splicing.
Automatic arc calibration function
This function calibrates the arc power at every splice. When the automatic arc calibration
function is enabled, performing the [Arc calibration] function before a splice operation is not
necessary. The automatic arc calibration function works in AUTO modes only. It doesn’t
work in the standard splice modes. When using those modes, performing [Arc calibration]
before splicing is strongly recommended.
