If High Estimated Loss
Reason
Solution
Insufficient fiber cleaning.
Dust or dirt on the fiber surface results in bad splice loss and
low tensile strength.
•
Clean the fiber surface sufficiently.
•
Do not clean the fiber after cleaving to prevent dust on the
fiber end-face.
•
Avoid any contact with the fiber end-face.
• Press
to perform an arc calibration as defined in this
instruction manual.
Bad fiber end-face.
•
Check the condition of fiber cleaver. If the blade is worn,
rotate the blade to a new position.
•
Confirm the “Cleave Limit” setting; 2.0° or less is
recommended.
Dust or dirt is on the V-groove or
the clamp chip.
Dust or dirt on the V-groove or clamp chip causes poor fiber
movement during fiber adjusting. Clean them periodically.
Dust or dirt is on the lens or
mirror.
If dust or dirt exists, clean the lenses or mirrors.
Bad electrode condition.
Replace the electrodes if they appear worn (rounded tip
shape), dirty, or bent.
Inadequate arc power.
Calibrate the arc power with the “Arc Calibration” function.
Using unsuitable splice mode.
Select a suitable splice mode for the fibers to be spliced.
“Loss Limit” is set too low.
Increase “Loss Limit” to an adequate limit.
Fibers were spliced after Error
was canceled.
Select the appropriate splice mode from the Other modes.
Inadequate arc parameters in
other splice modes.
Confirm the arc parameters are adequate to splice the fibers.
Inadequate estimating parameters
in Other mode.
Confirm the estimating parameters are adequate to estimate
the loss. The MFD mismatch function does not work for
certain types of specialty fibers. In these cases, set the “MFD
Mismatch” to OFF.
