Maintenance of Splicing Quality
2.
Periodic Checking and Cleaning
In order to maintain the splicing quality of the splicer, periodic inspection
and cleaning are recommended.
2-1. Cleaning Objective Lenses
If the objective lens’ surface becomes dirty, normal observation of the core
position may be incorrect, resulting in higher splice loss or poor splicer
operation. Therefore, clean both lenses at regular intervals. Otherwise, dirt may
accumulate and become impossible to remove.
To clean the objective lenses do the following:
(1) Before cleaning the objective lenses, always turn off the splicer.
(2) Gently clean lenses’ (X-axis and Y-axis) surface with an
alcohol-moistened thin cotton swab. Using the cotton swab, start at the
center of the lens and move the swab in a circular motion until you
spiral out to the edge of the lens surface. Remove excess alcohol from
the lens surface with a clean dry swab.
(3) The lens surface should be clean and free of streaks or smudges.
(4) Turn on the power and make sure no smudges or streaks are visible on the
monitor screen. Press X/Y key to change the screen and check the state of
the lens surface on both the X- and Y-screens. Perform dust check.
