Q-41S-E01
Error Message Reason Solution
Too Long Fiber
• The Cleave length (bare fiber
part) is too long.
• Dust or dirt is on the objective
lens cover.
• Cleave by forcing a holder tip of fiber cutting, and
pressing to a position.
• Execute the [Dust Check]. Clean the lens cover
when dust or dirt exists.
Too Dusty Fiber
• Dust or dirt is on the fiber
surface.
• Dust or dirt is on the objective
lens cover.
• [Cleaning Arc] time is too short
or “OFF”.
• Prepare the fiber again.
• Execute the [Dust Check]. Clean the lens cover
when dust or dirt exists.
• Set the [Cleaning Arc] time. When splicing carbon
coated fibers, set to more time.
ZL/ZR Motor
Overrun
• The fiber is correctly at the
bottom of the V-groove.
• The Cleave length (bare fiber
part) is too short.
• Press RESET, and set the fiber again to seat it
correctly at the bottom of the V-groove.
• Cleave by forcing a holder tip of fiber cutting, and
pressing to a position. Check the fiber length.
Large Cleave Angle
• Bad fiber end-face.
• [Cleave Limit] is set too low.
• Check the condition of the fiber cleaver. If the blade
is worn, rotate the blade to a new position.
• Increase the [Cleave Limit] to an adequate Limit.
Cleave Shape NG • Bad fiber end-face.
• Check the condition of the fiber cleaver. If the blade
is worn, rotate the blade to a new position.

When splicing only standard
SM fibers, “SM AUTO” mode is
recommended.
Heating Mode has been the
optimal conditions for the

**Gentry pull the fiber.
・When splicer indicates following message, splice loss may be high
“Arc discharge is not stable. Electrodes should be stabilized to reform the arc discharge.”
・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.
• Make sure the stripped fiber is
free of coating debris or
contamination.
• Use only 99% or better purity
alcohol.
• Do not allow the cleaved fiber
ends to touch anything or
become contaminated.
• Place the fiber end between
V-groove edge and Electrode
center.
