Error Message
Reason
Solution
Left/Right/L-R fiber set
too close!
• The fiber end-face is placed on the
electrode centerline, or beyond it.
• The cleave length (bare fiber part) is
too long.
• Dust or dirt is on the objective lens.
• Confirm the setting position of the
stripped fiber end on the fiber cleaver.
Check the cleave length.
• Clean the lens when dust or dirt exists.
Left/Right/L-R fiber set
too far!
Reset Left/Right fibers!
Clear Left/Right fibers!
• Dust or dirt is on the objective lens.
• “Cleaning Arc” time is too short or
OFF.
• Splicing indistinct core fibers with
the SM or DS modes.
• “Align” is set to “Core” to splice
indistinct core fibers when using
other splice modes.
• “Focus” is incorrectly set when
using other splice modes.
• Completely prepare the fiber again (strip,
clean, and cleave).
• Clean the lens if dust or dirt exists.
• Set the “Cleaning Arc” time to “30ms.”
When splicing carbon-coated fibers, set
to “100ms.”
• Use the MM mode to splice indistinct
core fibers (i.e., MM fiber).
• Set “Align” to “Clad” to splice indistinct
fibers (i.e., MM fiber).
• Set “Focus” to “Edge” to splice indistinct
core fibers (i.e., MM fiber). To splice
distinct core fibers, enter “Auto” or the
correct focus value.
Left/Right fiber X/Y set
error!
• The fiber is not set correctly at the
bottom of the V-groove. The fiber
position is out of focus range.
• Dust or dirt is on the fiber surface
resulting in focus failure.
• Dust or dirt is on the objective lens.
• Press , and re-position the fiber to seat
it correctly at the bottom of the V-groove.
• If fibers are not shown, use “screen
adjust.” Follow the procedure displayed
to enable the entire fiber to be displayed.
• Completely prepare the fiber again (strip,
clean, and cleave).
• Clean the lens if dust or dirt exists.
X/Y Motor out of range!
Cover is open!
The wind protector is opened during
splicing operation.
Press after closing the wind protector.
Left/Right/L-R fiber
angle errors, shape
errors and clear left &
right errors
• “Core Angle Limit” is set too low.
• Dust or dirt is on the V-groove or the
clamp chip.
• Bad fiber end-face.
• The splicer measures the core angle only
when using other splice modes. Increase
the “Core Angle Limit” to an adequate
limit. (1.0 degree is standard.)
• Clean the V-groove and clamp chip, and
set the fibers again. If the error occurs
again, strip, clean, and cleave the fibers.
• Check the condition of fiber cleaver. If the
blade is worn, rotate the blade to a new
position.
