Parameter
Description
Arc2 Power
Arc2 is the second arc discharge stage. This sets Arc2 Power.
Arc2 Time
Sets the total Arc2 time. Usually set this value to “OFF”. It is possible to
set a very long arc time. However, when the total of the Arc 1 time and
Arc2 time exceeds 30 seconds, always adjust the function [Arc2 ON
Time] and [Arc2 OFF Time] to weaken the arc power. A continuous arc
over 30 seconds, without weakening the arc power, may damage the arc
discharge unit.
Arc2 ON
Time
During Arc2 discharge, arc power can be pulsed by turning the arc on and
off. This sets the amount of time that Arc2 is ON.
Arc2 OFF
Time
Sets Arc2 OFF Time during Arc2. When the Arc2 discharge is
intermittent, re-arc discharge is also intermittent. When continuous
re-arc discharge is necessary, set this parameter to “OFF”.
Rearc Time
Sets Rearc Time. In other splice modes, the Re-arc power is
automatically fixed to the same arc power of [Arc2 Power]. If Arc2 is set
ON and OFF, Re-arc is automatically set ON and OFF.
Taper Splice
Splice loss is sometimes improved when the fiber is tapered (pulled)
during arc discharge to make the splice thinner. This sets taper function
"ON". The following three parameters determine the taper shape.
Taper Wait
Sets the taper wait time from the end of fiber stuffing until the start of
pulling fiber.
Taper Speed Sets the fiber pulling speed.
Taper Length Sets the fiber pulling length.
Est. Mode
Selects splice loss estimation mode to "OFF", "CORE", or "CLAD".
When MM fibers are spliced, select "CLAD".
MFD-L
MFD-R
Sets MFD of the left and right fibers. Both MFD-L & R are taken into
account for estimating splice loss.
Minimum
Loss
This amount is added to the estimated splice loss originally calculated.
When splicing specialty or dissimilar fibers, a high actual splice loss may
occur even with optimized arc conditions. To make the actual splice loss
concur with the estimated splice loss, set the minimum value of estimate
to the minimum optimized actual splice loss.
Core Step
Core Curve
MFD
Mismatch
Determines how Core step, Core curve and MFD mismatch influences
splice loss estimate. If Est. Mode is set "OFF" or "CLAD", these Core
step, Core curve and MFD mismatch are automatically set "OFF". If the
estimated splice on certain fiber combinations need adjustment, Core
step, Core curve and MFD mismatch are used. These are advanced
splicer functions and should be discussed with your Fujikura
representative before changing.
