3.3 How to Make a Splice
Put the optical fiber in
① Open the safety shield.
② Raise the fiber clamps.
③ Position the fibers into V-grooves. Make sure the fiber ends are between the V-groove edges and the electrode tip.
④ Clamp the fiber in position by lowering both sets of fiber clamps.
⑤ Close the safety shield.
⚠ Note:
Make sure to avoid sliding the fibers along V-grooves, but rather position them over
V-grooves and tilt them down into place (as shown below).
Inspecting the Fibers
Before continuing with splicing, inspect the fibers whether they are clean and well-cleaved. If any defects are found, please
remove the fibers and prepare again.
⚠ Note:
The fibers are checked automatically when you press Set button. The splicerautomatically focuses the fibers and checks
for damage or dust particles.
Splicing
① Select any appropriate splice mode.
② Start splicing by pressing “SET” button.
⚠ Note:
If the splicer is set as “Auto mode”, splicing will start automatically once the safety
shield is closed.
