Splice Menu
Standard mode
The standard mode consists of [SM], [NZ], [DS], and [MM] modes. These are in the
user-selectable database. The user has the freedom to select from a series of pre-loaded
splicing modes for various splicing combinations. Below are the descriptions of the
various parameters used in these modes.
Parameter
Description
Fiber Type
A list of splice modes stored in the splicer database is displayed. Upon
entering the appropriate mode, the selected splice mode stored in the
database area is copied to a selected splice mode in the
user-programmable area.
Fiber Count Sets the number of fibers.
Mode Title1 Title for a splice mode expressed in up to 14 characters.
Title1 is displayed at the left corner while splicing operation.
Mode Title2 Detailed explanation for a splice mode expressed in up to 14 characters.
Title2 is displayed at the [Splice Mode Select] menu.
Offset Limit An error message is displayed if the fiber offset exceeds the selected
threshold (offset limit).
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).
Gap Dif.
Limit
An error message is displayed if the gap between the left and right fiber
ends exceeds the selected threshold (gap limit).
Loss Limit
An error message is displayed if the estimated splice loss exceeds
selected threshold (loss limit).
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.
Gap
Sets the end-face gap between the left and right fibers at the time of
pre-fusion discharge.
Gapset Pos.
Sets the relative position of the splice location to the center of electrodes.
Prefuse
Power
Sets the power of the prefuse arc, which is an arc discharge occurring
from the beginning until the fibers begin stuffing. If [Prefuse Power] is
set too low, axial offset may occur if the cleaved angles are relatively
poor. If [Prefuse Power] is set too high, fiber end faces are heated
excessively and splice loss increases .
Prefuse Time
Sets the duration of the prefuse arc, which is the arc discharge occurring
from the beginning until the fibers begin stuffing. Longer [Prefuse
Time] is synonymous with higher [Prefuse Power].
