FUSION SPLICER 90S Rev5
79
Dust Check
The fusion splicer observes fibers through image processing. Dust or
contaminants on the cameras and lenses may interfere with normal observation of
fibers and degrade splice quality. This function checks the optical path for the
presence or absence of contaminants and judges whether they will reduce splice
quality.
1.
Select the Dust Check icon in the [Maintenance Menu].
2.
If fibers are set in the fusion splicer, remove them and press SET key
again. The fusion splicer begins the dust check.
3.
After observation, the location of contamination judged as a potential
problem blinks on the display.
4.
If contamination is discovered, clean the objective lenses and redo
[Dust Check] for cleaning instructions.
5.
Press to finish dust check.
Motor Calibration
Motors were adjusted at the factory before shipping. However, motor
performance could change due to various reasons. This function automatically
calibrates the speed of all motors.
Operation Procedure
1.
Select the Motor Calibration icon in the [Maintenance Menu].
2.
Load prepared fibers in the fusion splicer and press SET key.
3.
Speeds for all motors are automatically calibrated. Upon completion,
[Maintenance Menu] is displayed.
Stabilize Electrodes
In the event of sudden change in environmental conditions, the arc power may
become unstable, resulting in higher splice loss. This is especially likely to happen
when the fusion splicer is moved from lower elevations to higher elevations. Over
time, the arc power will eventually stabilize, however this process can be expedited
by stabilizing the electrodes. This function can also be used in the case where
many arc calibrations are required to get a “Good” message during the [Arc
Calibration] process.
Operation Procedure
1.
Select the Stabilize Electrodes icon.
2.
Lord the prepared fibers into the fusion splicer.
3.
Press SET key and the fusion splicer begins to stabilize the electrodes by
doing the following:
Perform 4 short arc discharges to measure the arc position.
Perform 30-cycle continuous discharges to stabilize the electrodes.
4.
After completing stabilization, always perform an additional [Arc Calibration].
In case you have cleaned the objective lenses, and dirt or dust still
remain, contact your Fujikura authorized distributor.
Perform this function when a "Fat" or "Thin" fiber error has occurred.
