Step 5
– Align Ribbonized Fibers and Splice the Connector
1. Turn on the mass fusion splicer. Splicer display shows several fiber type options.
Select the correct fiber type and arc test using proper fibers.
Select splice condition of SM12 or MM12, depending on fiber type to be spliced.
2. Select the
“Lynx MPO” Heater Program for heating the protective sleeve.
3. Open top door of the splicer.
Get the ferrule sub-assembly from connector kit and place it into the fiberclip holder with the
“UP” circle
showing on top as shown. Close the door on the clip.
4. Important:
Place the fiberclip holder with ferrule assembly in the splicer on the
right side
.
Fiberclip holder with ribbonized cable assembly is always placed on the
left side.
5. Confirm correct splice condition (item 1) is selected. Confirm correct heater program (item 2) is selected.
6. Close door and splicer automatically aligns the fibers and displays X/Y alignment offset, and machine
pauses.
7. The display tracks splice progress and the alignment result, as shown on the next page.
Note:
Estimated loss screen of .00
shows “near no loss”, a preferred outcome.
Red estimated loss screen indicates out of tolerance splice and the need to resplice.
8. If alignment is acceptable, press the green button on top of mass fusion splicer to begin fusion splice.
The fiber ends will glow during splicing.
