Basic Operation
f) Make sure if the cleave length is correct. Fiber coating edge may hit the
V-groove in case with shorter cleave length, and then the fibers may not
be stuffed each other during arc discharge and result in worse splice loss.
The cleave length is too short
g) Do not put tension to the fibers, or the fibers may not be stuffed each
other during arc discharge and result in worse splice loss.
h) Check the fiber angle and cleave shape. The fibers cleave angle affects
splicing quality. Large cleave angle worsens splice loss.
i) Visually check the arc discharge with the monitor. In case the arc
discharge is observed “wobbling” or “brightness changes”, arc discharge
may be unstable and the heat distribution to the fibers as well resulting in
worsened splice loss. Perform “Stabilize Electrodes”
j) 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 completing it, re-splice fibers.
