Detail of the parameters in splice mode
AUTO mode and FAST mode: [** AUTO], [** FAST]
Below is a list of Splicing parameters for AUTO modes and FAST mode.
Only a limited number of parameters listed below are displayed for those
modes to simplify the operation. Additional hidden parameters are all fixed
values set at the factory.
Parameter
Description
Fundamental Settings
Fiber Type
List of splice modes stored in database is displayed. A
selected splice mode stored in the database area is copied to
a selected splice mode in the user-programmable area.
Mode Title1 Title for a splice mode expressed in up to 11 characters.
Mode Title2 Detailed explanation for a splice mode expressed in up to 15
characters. Title2 is displayed at the [Splice Mode Select]
menu.
Rearc Time Splice loss may be improved by an additional “rearc” discharge
in some cases. The duration of this additional arc can be
changed by this parameter.
Proof Test
If [Proof Test] is set to "ON", a proof-test is performed upon
opening the wind protector after splicing or by pressing the
RESET key.
Arc
Cleaning
Arc
A cleaning arc burns off microscopic dust particles on the
surface of the fiber with an arc discharge for a short period.
The duration of the cleaning arc can be changed by this
parameter.
Arc Power
Arc Power is fixed at STANDARD. Arc Power is changed
automatically.
Arc Time
Arc Time is fixed at 2000ms. This is automatically changed
depending on the cladding illumination during Arc Discharge.
Parameter
Description
Error Limit
Cleave Angle
Limit
Error message is displayed if the cleave angle of either
the left or right fiber ends exceeds the selected threshold
(cleave limit).
Cleave Shape
Error
Error message is displayed if the cleaved end face of
either left or right fiber exceeds the selected threshold
(cleave shape).
Loss Limit
Error message is displayed if the estimated splice loss
exceeds selected threshold (loss limit).
Fiber Angle
Limit
An error message is displayed if the fiber offset exceeds
the selected threshold (Fiber Angle).
Bubble
Sensitivity
An error message is displayed if the bubble of fiber
exceeds the selected threshold (bubble).
Stripper
Heat
Temperature
Level
These are stripper parameters. They are automatically
sent to the stripper if [Heater Parameter Control] in
“Stripper Setting” menu is set to “Splice Mode”. See the
detail in “Bluetooth” section.
