Introduction
Introduction
The core alignment fusion splicer FSM-60S with PAS
technology is designed for splicing many types of optical
fibers. It is small in size and light in weight, making it
suitable for any operating environment. It is easy to
operate and it splices fast while maintaining low splice
loss. In order to achieve the splicer’s full capabilities,
read the following important information.
Splice mode
Use [SM] splice mode for standard SM fiber (ITU-T
G.652) splicing. It completes in 9 seconds and is the
quickest mode for SM fiber splicing.
Use [AUTO] splice mode if fiber type is not identified.
Splice takes longer but it covers most conventional
fibers splicing for following reasons.
(1) [AUTO] mode first identifies fiber type by analyzing fiber profile, and then unique
splicing condition is chosen for the type of fiber. The types of fibers covered by
[AUTO] are all the conventional fibers, such as SMF (G652), NZDSF (G655),
MMF (G651), etc. The [AUTO] modes takes longer for the above processes but is
recommended in fiber type is not sure.
(2) [AUTO] mode comes with automatic arc calibration function, which observes the
splicing process and feedback adequate heat power information to the next splice
(See next chapter for detail).
Automatic arc calibration function
This function calibrates the arc power at every splice. When the automatic arc
calibration function is enabled, performing the [Arc calibration] function before a
splice operation is not necessary. The automatic arc calibration function works in
AUTO modes only. It doesn’t work in the standard splice modes. When using those
modes, performing [Arc calibration] before splicing is strongly recommended.
