Notes:
• Splice point sometimes looks a bit fatter than other parts. This is considered a normal splice and does not affect splice
loss.
• To change threshold for estimated splice loss or cleave angle, refer to “Splice Mode” in this manual for details.
• Splice loss may be improved in some cases by additional arc discharges. Splice loss estimate and splice check are
performed again. Splice loss may be worsened in some cases by additional arc discharges (re-arcs). Additional arc
discharge can be set to “disabled”, or limited to the number of additional arcs.
• Splicing result is automatically saved in splicer memory.
Arc Calibration
When a splicing session is first started or if the splicing environment has changed, it is recommended that the technician
perform an arc calibration.
1.
Place cleaved fibers into the splicer.
2. Press
and navigate to the “Maintenance” menu. Select “Arc Calibration.”
3.
Follow the on-screen prompts.
Note: It might be necessary to repeat until “the arc adjust OK” prompt is achieved.
Heating Protection Sleeve
1.
Transfer the fiber with protection sleeve from the centering device to the tube heater.
2.
Close the tube heater lid.
Notes:
• Make sure the splice point is located at the center of the protection sleeve.
• Make sure the strength member in the protection sleeve is placed downward.
• Make sure the fiber is not distorted.
• The splice-on connector must be installed on the right-hand side of the splicer heater. Use heater profile #1 for the
SOC.
3. Press
to start tube heating. The beeper sounds and the HEAT LED (red color) turns off when tube heating is
completed.
