Splicing mode and program selection
Select splicing mode

Though the splicer is saying in the message field to “PRESS
FUSE BUTTON,” you should make sure the correct splicing
mode and program are selected.
As mentioned earlier, the default splicing mode is Automode,
and this will be the mode the splicer is in when you just turn it
on. In Automode, the splicer automatically carries out fiber
alignment and initiates fusion. However, if you want to manu-
ally align the fibers and initialize splicing, you can change to
Manual mode by pushing the MODE button. The mode field
will then read to “FSU 995 FA MANUAL MODE.” To change
back to Automode, just push MODE again. Remember that
you can always check which mode you are in during splicer
preparation by reading what is displayed in the mode field.

In this section on Basic Operation, we are only going to use
the pre-defined programs (Programs 01-10) as examples, but
you would follow the same selection procedure if you wanted
to load in one of your own programs created through the
instructions outlined in the section on Advanced Operation.
A The first step is to press the ENTER button. At this point
both the mode and the message field will change. The mode
field will display the current splicing program, and the mes-
sage field will ask you if you want to change it. For the pur-
poses of demonstration, we are going to assume that the
current splicing program is program 01, NORMAL SM +SM.
B If you press Yes , the message field will then be open for
you to enter a new program.
If you press No , you will jump to step F.
