Appendix III
· Power does not turn off when pressing On / Off button.
- Press and hold the key until the LED color changes from green to red.
· Few splices can be made with a fully charged battery pack
· If the power saving function is not enabled, battery power degrades quicker.
- [System setting] Always enable it to conserve power usage.
· If degradation appears (memory effect). of if the battery pack is stored for an extended period of
time, complitely discharge it. After discharge completion, recharge the battery pack.
· The battery pack has reached the end of its service life. Install a new battery pack.
· The battery pack uses chemical reaction. The capacity decreases at low temperature, especially at
lower than 0 degree ˚c.
· Error message appears on monitor please refer to appendix II.
· Inconsistent splice loss / High splice loss
· Clean the V-grooves, fiber clamps, wind protector mirrors, and objective lenses.
· Replace the electrodes.
· Please refer to Appendix I.
· The splice loss varies according to the cleaver angle, arc conditions and fiber cleanliness.
· Monitor suddenly turned off
· The monitor suddenly turn off after an extended period of splicer inactivity, if the power
saving function is enabled. Press any key to return to the normal state.
· Splicer power suddenly turned off without “Low battery’ message.
· The monitor will turn off after an extended period of splicer inactivity, if the power saving
function is enabled. Press ant key to return to the normal state.
· Identify fibers error in AUTO mode
- AUTO mode is applicable for SM, MM, NZ fiber. Errors may occurs while splicing special
fibers.
· Mismatch between Estimated splice loss and Actual splice loss
· The estimated loss is a calculated loss, so it can be used for reference only.
· The optical components of the splicer may need to be cleaned.
· Fiber protection sleeve does not shrink completely.
· Continue the heating time. [ 60mm Sleeve – 230 ˚c, 15sec, 40mm Sleeve - 200 ˚c , 17sec ]
· Extend the heating time.
· Method to cancer heating process.
