Basic Operation
4. Loading Fiber to Splicer
➢ Sheath Clamp
a) Open wind protector and sheath clamps.
b) Place prepared fiber onto v-groove so that the fiber tip is located between
the v-groove edge and tip of electrode.
c) Hold fiber with fingers and close sheath clamp so that the fiber does not
move. Make sure the fiber is placed in the bottom of the v-grooves. If
fiber is not placed properly, reload fiber.
d) Load another fiber in the same manner as in above step.
e) Close wind protector.
⚫ If fiber coating has some memory curl, place fiber so that the curve of
memory is turned upwards.
⚫ Be careful to not bump the prepared fiber tips into anything to maintain
fiber end-face quality.
