Optical Fusion Splicer Instruction Manual
6.4 Splice Loss and Quality Evaluate
After splicing, the splice loss evaluation value will show on the
right screen, if the fiber is spliced abnormally, such as fiber thick,
thin, separation, bubbles, line etc. an error message will appear,
user have to re-splice or re-ARC. And if no error prompt, but
screen shows bad splice result, user should also re-splice.
Note that the splice spot may look thicker, it’s a normal splicing
without influence of splice loss.
Splice result normal, but the splice loss exceed limitation, after
splicing, user should press
to re-ARC, after ARC, system
will re-check the fiber, evaluate splice loss and show whether it’s
qualified. Splice abnormal or higher evaluation value Cause and
Solution as follow:
Symptom
Cause
Solution
Core axial
offset
1. Dust on V-groove or
fiber presser foot
2. Problem with image
check system
1. Clean V-groove or
fiber clamp chip
2. Continuously
appear, user need to
do “Detect system
parameter”
Core angle
1. Dust on V-groove or
fiber presser foot
2. Bad angle of fiber
end-face
3. Incorrect fiber load
position
1. Clean fiber presser
foot
2. Re-cleave fiber
3. Re-load fiber
