Basic Operation

Using Fiber Holder

Loosen the 3 screws and take the sheath clamps off the splicer.

Place the Set Plate “SP-31” to the base and tighten it by the 3 screws.

Place fiber holders so that the guide pins on the stage go to guide-holes in the

fiber.

Close the wind-protector.

The prolonged storage back and when splicing for the first time, we recommend you
execute for an Arc Calibration. Refer to [Arc Calibration].



Be careful not to contact the prepared fiber tips into anything to maintain fiber
end-face quality.

Loosen 3 screws.
