Below is a list of Splicing parameters for AUTO, SM, DS, MM and NZ modes
Only a limited number of parameters listed below are displayed for AUTO, SM, DS,
MM and NZ modes to simplify the operation. Additional hidden parameters are all fixed
values set at the factory.
Parameter Description
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 seven characters.
Mode Title2
Detail explanation for a splice mode expressed in up to 15 characters.
Title2 is displayed at the [Splice Mode Select] menu.
Cleave Limit
An error message is displayed if the cleave angle of either the left or
right fiber ends exceeds the selected threshold (cleave limit).
Loss Limit
An error message is displayed if the estimated splice loss exceeds
selected threshold (loss limit).
Arc Power
The Arc Power is fixed at 40 bits for AUTO modes.
The Arc Power is changed automatically SM / DS / MM / NZ modes.
Arc Time
Arc Time is fixed at 1500 ms for SM and DS modes, 2000ms for NZ
mode, and 3000 ms for MM mode. This is automatically set depending
on the fiber type when AUTO mode is selected.
Cleaning Arc
A cleaning arc burns out micro dust on the surface of the fiber with an
arc discharge for a short period of time. The duration of the cleaning
arc can be changed by this parameter.
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.
• Menus change when [Fiber Type] is set other splice modes, e.g. SM-SM
mode.
