2

Connect the splicer to the power supply .................

8

Prepare the fibers .....................................................

10

Strip, clean and cleave the fibers.

3

Turn on the splicer and place the fibers .................

12

Note: The splicer will turn off automatically when you re-open the
safety shield after splicing.

4

Select splicing mode and program .........................

14

Choose between the two splicing modes: Automode and Manual
mode. (Note that the splicer always starts in Automode when just
turned on).  A list of the pre-defined splicing programs (01-10) is
found on page 16.

5

Splice the fibers ........................................................

17

Press the fuse button.

6

Check the splice .......................................................

21

Check the splice visually by pressing VIEW and scrolling through
stored images.  Evaluate the splice quantitaly by taking note of the
estimated splice loss.

7

Protect the splice .....................................................

23

Protect the splice with a heat-shrinkable sleeve.

The following steps outline basic operation of the FSU 995 FA,
and refer to the pages where they are explained in greater detail.
