Splicing Procedure
To assure a good splice, the optical fiber is observed with the image processing
system equipped in the FSM-100M/P/M+/P+. However, there are some cases when
the image processing systems cannot detect small particles and defects. Visual
inspection with the monitor is often necessary for better splicing evaluation.
Procedure below describes standard operating procedure.
(1) Press SET, the fibers loaded in the splicer move forward toward each other.
The fiber forward motion stops at a certain position shortly after the
cleaning arc is performed. Next, the cleave angle and end-face quality are
checked. If the measured cleave angle is greater than its set threshold, the
buzzer will sound and an error message warns the operator. The splicing
procedure pauses. If no error message is displayed, the below stated
end-face conditions are used for visual inspection. If defects are observed,
remove the fiber from the splicer and repeat fiber preparation. These visual
defects may cause a faulty space.
(2) After fiber inspection, the fibers are aligned core-to-core or cladding-to-
cladding depending on the splice mode. Cladding axis offset and core axis
offset measurements can be displayed.
・
The pause after cleave angle check and fiber alignment can be disabled.
・
The cleave angle threshold can be changed. See [Checking or Editing
Splice Mode] for details.
・
The cleave angle error message can be ignored by pressing the SET key
to go on to the next step. To disable the cleave angle error; see
[Configurations] for details.
