Maintenance of Splicing Quality
2. Periodic Checking and Cleaning
In order to maintain the splicing quality, periodical inspection and cleaning are
recommended.
2-1. Cleaning Objective Lenses
If the surface of the objective lens becomes dirty, incorrect observation of the fiber
position may occur, resulting in higher splice loss or poor splicer operation. Therefore,
clean both objective 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 the lenses (X-axis and Y-axis) with an alcohol-impregnated 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. 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 to change the screen and check the state of the lens surface on
both the X- and Y-screens. Perform the dust check procedure.
2-2. Electrode Replacement
Refer to Page 56 [Replace Electrode].
2-3. Diagnostic Test
Refer to Page 59 [Diagnostic Test Function].
• Remove electrodes before cleaning objective lens.
• Do not hit or touch the tip of the electrode when cleaning.
