Questions and Troubleshooting
(3) Inconsistent splice loss / High splice loss
• Clean the V-grooves, fiber clamps, wind protector LEDs, and objective lenses. Refer to
[Maintenance of Splicing Quality] (Page 26).
• Replace the electrodes. Refer to [Electrode Replacement] (Page 28).
• Refer to the “High Estimated Loss” error message section in the [Error Message List]
(Page 62).
• If the fiber has curl or bend memory, position the fiber so the crown (curve) of the
memory is turned downwards.
• 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.
(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 52).
(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 52).
(6) Method to initialize arc condition of Splice mode
• Refer to [Editing a splice mode] (Page 34).
(7) Method to change error thresholds for Cleave angle, Splice loss, Gap and Axis Offset.
• Refer to [Editing a splice mode] (Page 34) when using an AUTO mode.
• Refer to [Editing a splice mode] (Page 34) when using a Standard mode.
(8) Error message can be over-ridden
• Refer to [Splice Option] (Page 44) to prevent error message override.
(9) Unable to change Arc Power and Arc Time
• The settings cannot be changed in AUTO modes.
• Performing [Arc Calibration] maintains adequate arc power in these modes.
• If using the standard mode, the Arc Power and Arc Time may be locked by administrator,
preventing them from being changed.
