Splice Menu
Special mode: [SM], [NZ], [DS], [MM]
Splicing parameters: special modes
In special modes in the user-selectable database, the user can select from a series of
factory-set splicing modes for various splicing combinations. Below are the
descriptions of the various parameters used in these modes.
Parameter
Description
Fundamental Settings
Fiber Type
A list of splice modes stored in the splicer database is displayed. Upon
inputting the appropriate mode, the selected splice mode stored in database
area is copied to a selected splice mode in user-programmable area.
Mode Title1
Title for a splice mode expressed in up to 11 characters.
Mode Title2
Detail explanation for a splice mode expressed in up to 15 characters. Title2
is displayed at the [Splice Mode Select] menu.
Rearc Time
Splice loss may be improved by an additional “rearc” discharge in some
cases. The duration of this additional arc can be changed by this parameter.
Proof test
An ON/OFF setup of the proof test done after splice is performed.
Gap Setting
Cleaning Arc
A cleaning arc removes dust on the surface of the fiber with an arc discharge
for a short period of time. The duration of the cleaning arc can be changed by
this parameter.
Gap
Sets the end-face gap between the left and right fibers at the time of aligning
and pre-fusion discharge.
Gapset
Position
Sets the relative position of the splicing location to the center of electrodes.
Splice loss may be improved in the case of dissimilar fiber splicing by shifting
[Gapset Pos] towards a fiber whose MFD is bigger than the other fiber MFD.
XY Alignment
Focus-L/R
Sets the focal point for fiber observation. The focal point moves closer to the
core when [Focus] value is increased.
"Auto" focus is strongly recommended, as [Focus] optimization is very
difficult. Left and right fibers are focused independently even if they are a
different fiber type (dissimilar fiber splicing).
If the fiber core cannot be observed (e.g. MM fiber), use the “Edge”
parameter. [Align] and [Est. Mode] are automatically fixed to the “Clad”
setting. [ECF] and [Auto Power] are automatically fixed to the "OFF" setting.
Align
Sets the aligning method for the fibers.
“Core”
: Aligns fibers by core position.
“Clad”
: Aligns fibers by center position of the cladding of the fiber.
“Manual” : Aligns fibers manually.
ECF
Sets the axial offset ratio for ECF. See [ECF Splice] for detail. For a splice
mode in which arc time is 5 sec. or longer, setting [ECF] "OFF" is
recommended. If [Align] is set to "Edge", “Clad” or "Manual", [ECF] is
automatically fixed to "OFF". If [ECF] is set "OFF", [Auto Power] is
automatically fixed to "OFF".
Auto Power
Optimizes Arc power according to core concentricity-error. This function is
used in combination with ECF. If [ECF] is set to "OFF", [Auto Power] is
automatically fixed to "OFF"
