8. Sealing problem solving
8.1 When loss is big
 Any dust or foreign substance on optical fiber’s surface may incur poor splice.
Clean the optical fiber’s surface sufficiently.
Do not clean the optical fiber after cutting to prevent dust from being gathered
on optical fiber’s cross section.
Do not push in the optical fiber when putting it on V-Groove. Optical fiber should
be placed from top to bottom.
 Any foreign substance on V-Groove hinders right arrayal.
Keep the V-Groove clean at all times.
 Electrode being poor
When an electrode is of abrasion or its tip is bent and dirty, replace the electrode.
 Discharge amount and discharge time are inappropriate.
Check the setting of discharge amount and discharge time to reset them with
proper values.
Without any great change, the initially set values are the most appropriate ones.
 Inappropriate splice mode
Check whether a splice mode is selected appropriate for the optical fiber.
