4342
Error Message Cause Solution
Focus Motor Home
position Error
Shock occurred to the
splicer during the splicing
process.
Carry out “motor calibration”. If the
problem still exists, please contact sales
agent.
Fiber End face Gap
Wrong
Too much [Overlap] setting Adjust [Overlap] parameter setting.
The motor is not calibrated Perform [Motor Calibration].
Focus Motor
Distance Over Limit
The ber is misplaced.
Press the “RESET” button; re-position
the ber correctly at the bottom of the
V-groove.
There’s dust or dirt on the
ber surface
Prepare the ber (stripping,
Cleaning and cleaving) again.
There’s dust or dirt on the
lenses.
Execute the [Dust Check] after cleaning
the lenses and mirrors.
Fiber Mismatch,
Continue?
Dierent ber types on two
sides.
It may result in large splice loss if you
continue to splice, Please use the proper
splice mode corresponding to the bers.
Cleave Angle Over
Limit
Bad ber end-face
Check the condition of the ber cleaver.
If the blade is worn, rotate the blade to a
new position or change a new one, and
then re-prepare the bers.
[Cleave Angle Limit] is set
too low.
Increase the “Cleave Angle Limit” to an
adequate limit. (standard value: 3.0°）.
Core Angle Over
Limit
[Core Angle Limit] is set
too low.
Increase the “Core Angle Limit” to an
adequate limit.
(standard value: 1.0°）.
Dust or dirt is on the
V-groove or ber holders.
Clean the V-groove and the ber holders.
Prepare and reload the ber again.
Fiber Axis Align
Failed
Too large axial oset
（>0.4μm）
Prepare the ber (stripping, cleaning, and
cleaving) again.
The motor is not calibrated Perform “Motor Calibration”.
Fiber is Dirty
There’s dust or dirt on the
ber surface
Prepare the ber (stripping,
cleaning, and cleaving) again.
Dust or dirt is on the lenses
Perform the “Dust Check” after cleaning
the lenses.
“Cleaning Arc time” is too
short
Set the “Cleaning Arc time” to 180ms
It is dicult to identify
the ber core by using the
method of core alignment to
splice.
Use MM splice mode (clad alignment) to
splice the unidentied ber core.
Error Message Cause Solution
Fat Splicing Point
Too much [Overlap] setting Adjust “Overlap” parameter setting.
The motor is not calibrated. Perform “Motor Calibration”.
Thin Splicing Point
Arc power is too low Perform “Arc Calibration”.
The level of pre-discharge
is set too high
Decrease pre-discharge or pre-discharge
time.
Insucient “Overlap” setting Adjust “Overlap” parameter setting
