Splicing Operation
• When splicing only standard SM fibers (ITU-T G.652), “SM
Turning splicer ON AUTO” mode is recommended.
• When splicing different types of fibers, “AUTO” mode is
Confirming splice, heater and operation modes recommended, but splice speed is slow.
• Splicing speed of “SM FAST” mode is fast, but periodical
Arc calibration is required.

• When splicer indicates following message, splice loss may be high
“Arc discharge is not stable. Electrodes should be stabilized to reform the arc discharge.”
Note • Load prepared SM fibers onto splicer in order to stabilize electrodes. After completeing it, re-splice fibers.
• When an altitude changes drastically, stabilizing elctrodes must be excecuted before splicing.

Cleaning before Splice Operation

V-grooves Fiber Clamp Chips Fiber Cleaver

• Clean rubber pads.
• Clean rubber anvil.
• Clean blade.

• Clean bottom of V-groove with a thin cotton

swab moistened with alcohol.
• Remove excess alcohol from V-grooves Objective Lens
with a clean dry swab.
• Use a cleaved fiber end-face to dislodge.

Caution of cleaning

• Do not contact the electrode tips.

• Use only 99% or better purity of alcohol. When lens is dirty, clean it.

Replace Electrodes
Electrodes
• When “Replace electrodes” message appears, or when the tip is damaged, replace
electrodes.
• Execute [Replace Electrodes] in Maintenance Menu.
• Exchange for a new electrode the old electrode currently attached to equipment.
Use attached screw driver (SD-01).
Remove the electrode cover Loosen screws Remove the old electrode

Electrode holder

Place the electrode cover Tighten screws Install new electrode

• Load prepared fibers onto the splicer.

• Execute [Stabilized Electrodes]
• [Arc Calibration] is executed.
