Splice Operation
Operation Mode
Automated wind-protector has several operation modes.
Operation procedure after splicing can be selected.
Pause1
If "Pause1” is set to “ON”, splicing operation pauses when fibers are
forwarded to gap-set position. Cleave angles are displayed during the
pause.
Pause2
If “Pause 2” is set to "ON", splicing operation pauses after fiber alignment is
completed. With ECF “ON”, core-to-core alignment is made after this
pause.
Auto Cover Open
Automatically wind-protector opens.

The re-arcing process sometimes improves the splice loss, but sometimes
worsens it. Re-arcing decreases the splice strength. With this function, it is
possible to limit the number of re-arcs or to disable re-arc discharge.
