Parameters for Normal Splicing Process
Parameter Description
Template
A list of splice modes stored in the splicer database is
displayed. Upon inputting the appropriate mode, the selected
splice mode stored in database area is copied to a selected
splice mode in user-programmable area.
Name Title for a splice mode expressed in up to seven characters.
Note
Detailed explanation for a splice mode expressed in up to 15
characters. It is displayed at “Select splice mode” menu.
Align Type
Set the aligning type for the fibers.
“Core” : fiber core alignment
“Manual”: manual alignment
Arc adjust Sets to adjust arc power according to the fibers’ conditions.
Pull test
If “Proof test” is set to “ON”, a pull-test is performed
upon opening the windproof cover or by pressing the SET
button after splicing.
Loss estimate
Loss estimate should be regarded as a reference. Since
the loss is calculated upon the fiber image, there is certain
difference with the real value. The estimate method is based
on a single mode fiber and calculates at the wavelength of
1.31μm. The estimated value can be a valuable reference,
but cannot be used as the basis of acceptance.
Minimum loss
This amount is added to the estimate splice loss originally
calculated. When splicing specially 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 actual splice loss to minimum
value (minimum loss).
Loss Limit
An error message is displayed if the estimated splice loss
exceeds the selected threshold (loss limit).
Core angle limit
An error message is displayed if the bend angle of the two
fibers spliced exceeds the selected threshold (Core angle
limit).
Cleave angle limit
An error message is displayed if the cleave angle of either
the left or right fiber ends exceed the selected threshold
(cleave limit).
Gap position
Set the relative position of the splicing location to the center
of electrodes. Splice loss may be improved in the case of
dissimilar fiber splicing by shifting [Gap position] towards a
fiber whose MFD is bigger than the other fiber MFD.
