Basic Operation
4.
After fiber inspection, the fibers are aligned core-to-core or cladding-to-cladding and
then, arc discharge is performed to splice the fibers.
5.
Estimated splice loss is displayed after completion of splicing. Splice loss is affected
by certain factors stated. These factors are taken into account to calculate, or
estimate, splice loss. The calculation is based on certain dimensional parameters,
such as MFD.
If either the cleave angle measured or the estimated splice loss exceeds its set
threshold, an error message is displayed. If the spliced fiber is detected as abnormal,
the "Fat", "Thin" or "Bubble" error message is displayed.
If no error message is displayed but the splice looks poor by visual inspection through
the monitor, it is strongly recommended to repeat the splice from the beginning.
Splice loss may be improved in some cases by additional arc discharges. Press ARC
key for an additional arc discharge (re-arc). Splice loss estimate and splice check are
performed again.
Restriction of the number of times of additional arc discharge can be set up.
Since excessive additional arc discharge becomes the cause of worsening splice
intensity and a splice loss, it can forbid the arc discharge more than the suitable
number of times.
Refer to [Splice Settings] for details.
Splice point sometimes looks a bit fatter than other parts. This is considered a normal
splice, and does not affect splice loss.
To change threshold for estimated splice loss or fiber angle, see section [Splice
Mode].
Error messages, such as "Estimated splice loss", "Splice angle", "Fat", "Thin" and
"Bubble" can be ignored. This function can be set to "disabled". See section [Splice
Settings] for detail.
