FUSION SPLICER 90S Rev5

General information
Introduction
This fusion splicer can splice a single optical fiber. Moreover, new functions
were implemented so the splicer has improved versatility. In order to master
the splicer, please read this instruction manual.
Splice mode
This fusion splicer has not only automatic modes (AUTO mode), but also
special modes. The AUTO mode consists of [SM AUTO], [MM AUTO], [NZ
AUTO], [DS AUTO] mode. Select the splice mode according to the fiber type.
If you do not know the fiber type, use the [AUTO SM/NZ/DS/BIF/MM] mode.
The splicer analyzes the core profile for fiber, identifies the fiber such as SMF,
NZDSF, MMF, BIF, etc. and selects the optimal splice mode automatically.
When using these AUTO modes, the automatic arc calibration function is
enabled.
The special modes consist of [SM-SM] for SMF (ITU-T G652), [NZ-NZ] for
NZDSF (ITU-T G655), [DS-DS] for DSF (ITU-T G653), MM-MM] for MMF
(ITU-T G651) and others.
Special modes requires executing [Arc Calibration] before splicing.
Automatic arc calibration function
This function calibrates the arc power in real time. When selecting an
automatic mode, this function is enabled. Performing the [Arc calibration]
function before splicing is not necessary.
It doesn’t work in the special splice modes. When using these modes,
performing [Arc calibration] before splicing is strongly recommended.
Automatic wind-protector
The wind-protector operation can be customized by choosing the preferred
operating mode for the wind-protector opening and closing
Fast heating system
When a protection sleeve is loaded, the heater lid will close automatically and
the shrink process will start automatically.
In addition, by using a dual sided
heater, we achieve faster heating times.
Field Assembly Optical connector splice
The assembly of a field splice-on optical connector can be performed by
heating of a protection sleeve can be performed by this fusion splicer.
Moreover, its versatility is improved by its portability.
Compatible with short length splices
In addition to standard cleave length splices, a splice with 5-mm cleaves is
also possible.
Upgrade of software
The firmware of the splicer can be upgraded to the latest version using the
“Data Connection” app.
Before getting “Data Connection”, refer to the section “Getting the Instruction
Manual and the Utility Software” and download the Utility Software first. Then
install the “Data Connection” program from the Utility Software.
A specialized tool is needed in order to perform the 5-mm cleave
length splices
