Unknown Fiber Type

Dust on the fiber surface.

Re-prepare the fiber.

Different fiber types on two sides.

AUTO mode is not applicable in 
this case; select a suitable splice 
mode to redo splicing.

The fiber is a non-standard fiber.

AUTO mode can only detect 
standard SM, MM, NZ fibers.

Fiber Clad Over Limit

Fiber edge is not located in the 
camera range.

Adjust the fiber position; perform 
[Motor Calibration].

Focus Motor Home 

position Error

Shock occurred to the splicer 
during the splicing process.

Perform [Motor Calibration]. If 
the problem still exists, please 
contact the sales agent.

Fiber Endface Gap Wrong

[Overlap] is too much.

Adjust [Overlap] parameter.

Motor is not calibrated.

Perform [Motor calibration].

Focus Motor Distance 

Over Limit

The fiber is misplaced.

Press RESET button and 
reposition the fiber correctly.

Dust or dirt on the fiber surface.

Prepare the fiber again.

Dust or dirt on the lenses.

Perform [Dust Check] after the 
lenses are cleaned.

Fibers Mismatch, 

Continue?

Different fiber types on two sides.

It may result in large splice loss 
if you continue to splice. Please 
use the proper splice mode 
corresponding to the fibers.

Cleave Angle Over Limit

Bad fiber endface.

Check the condition of the fiber 
cleaver. If the blade is worn, 
rotate the blade to a new position 
or change a new one, and then 
re-prepare the fibers.

[Cleave Angle Limit] is set too low.

Increase the [Cleave Angle Limit] 
to an adequate limit (standard: 
3.0˚).

Core Angle Over Limit

[Core Angle Limit] is set too low.

Increase the [Core Angle Limit] to 
an adequate limit (standard: 1.0˚).

Dust or dirt on the V-groove or 
fiber holders.

Clean the V-groove and fiber 
holders. Prepare the fibers and 
re-load them.
