Questions and Troubleshooting

Splicing Operation
(1) Error message appears on monitor
• Refer to [Error Message List] (Page 74).
(2) Inconsistent splice loss / High splice loss
• Clean the V-grooves, fiber clamps, wind protector mirrors, and objective lenses. Refer to
[Maintenance of Splicing Quality] (Page 28).
• Replace the electrodes. Refer to [Electrode Replacement] (Page 33).
• Refer to the “High Estimated Loss” error message section in the [Error Message List]
(Page 74).
• If the fiber has curl or bend memory, position the fiber so the crown (curve) of the
memory is turned upward.
• 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 your nearest sales agency. Regular service (at least once a year) is
recommended to maintain high splicing quality.
(3) Confirmation of splicing procedures
• Refer to [Splicing procedure] (Page 20).
(4) Monitor suddenly turned off
• The power saving function is automatically enabled when using a battery pack. The
splicer switches to the power saving state after an extended period of splicer inactivity.
Press any key to return to the normal state. To change the length of time before the
splicer switches to the power saving state, refer to [Power Save] (Page 63).
(5) Splicer power suddenly turned off without “Low Battery” message
• The power saving function is automatically enabled when using a battery pack. The
splicer turns the splicer power off after an extended period of splicer inactivity. Press
to turn on the splicer again. To change the length of time before the splicer turns the
splicer power off, refer to [Power Save] (Page 63).
(6) Method to initialize arc condition of Splice mode
• Refer to [Referring or editing splice mode] (Page 38).
(7) Method to change error thresholds for Cleave angle, Splice loss and Fiber angle
• Refer to [Referring or editing splice mode] (Page 38) when using the SM, NZ, MM or
AUTO mode. There is no fiber angle threshold in these modes.
• Refer to [Referring or editing splice mode] (Page 38) when using the OTHER mode.
