Questions and Troubleshooting
Power Supply
(1)
Power does not turn on when pressing ON/OFF key
･
The battery may not be charged. Attempt charging the battery.
(2)
Power does not turn off when pressing ON/OFF key
･
Press and hold the key until the LED color changes from green to red.
(3)
Few splices can be made with a fully charged battery pack

If the power saving function is not enabled, battery power degrades quicker.
Always enable it to conserve power usage.
･
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.
･
At high altitude, the arc discharge current is increased. In this condition, battery
power degrades quicker due to large power consumption.
(4)
Method to change the power saving function settings
･
Refer to [Machine Settings] function.
(5)
Battery indicator is not displayed.
･
At the time of AC adaptor use, a battery indicator is not displayed on a screen.

Refer to [Error Message List] function.
(2)
Inconsistent splice loss / High splice loss
･
Clean the V-grooves, v-groove clamps, heater and objective lenses.
･
Replace the electrodes.
･
“High Estimated Loss” error message section in the [Error Message List].
･
If the fiber has curl or bend memory, position the fiber so the crown (curve) of
the memory is turned downward.
･
The splice loss varies according to the cleave angle, arc conditions and fiber
cleanliness.
･
If the splice loss is still too high or inconsistent after performing the above-
mentioned remedies, contact the nearest Fujikura authorized distributor
Regular service (at least once a year) is recommended to maintain high splicing
quality.
(3)
Confirmation of splicing procedures
･
Refer to [Basic Operation] function.
(4)
Monitor suddenly turned off
･
The power saving function is automatically enabled when using a battery pack.
The fusion splicer switches to the power saving state after an extended period
of fusion splicer inactivity. Press any key to return to the normal state. To
change the length of time before the fusion splicer switches to the power saving
state, Refer to [Machine Settings] function.
(5)
Fusion splicer power suddenly turned off without “Low Battery” message
・
The power saving function is automatically enabled when using a battery pack.
The fusion splicer turns the power off after an extended period of fusion splicer
inactivity. Press ON/OFF key to turn on the fusion splicer again. To change the
length of time before the fusion splicer turns the power off, section [Machine
Settings] function.
(6)
Method to initialize arc condition of Splice mode
･
Refer to [Initialization in the edited parameter] in [Splice Menu].
