Basic Operation
Confirm the Splice mode and the Heater mode before splicing the fiber.
Splice Mode
Select appropriate splicing mode for the specific fiber combination. Current mode is
displayed on the READY screen.
Heater Mode
Select appropriate heating mode for the specific protection sleeve used. Current mode
is displayed on the READY screen.
Select of the Splice Mode
The optimal splice setting for a specific fiber combination consists of the splicing parameters
listed below. In other words, the optimal splicing parameters depend on the fiber
combinations, and are different depending on the fiber used.
Parameters for controlling arc discharge.
Parameters for calculating estimated splice loss.
Parameters for controlling fiber alignment and splicing procedures.
Threshold for error messages.
A series of optimal splice parameters for major fiber combinations are already stored in the
splicer. These parameters are stored in the database area and can be copied to the
user-programmable area. These splice parameters can be edited for a specific fiber
combination.
How to select the “Splice Mode”
[AUTO] and others
Use this mode if the fiber type is identified.
[SM] and others
Use this mode for splicing special fibers. This mode enables to set
specific parameters for each splicing. Execute [Arc Calibration]
before using this mode.
