Basic Operation
b) After fiber inspection, the fibers are aligned core-to-core or
cladding-to-cladding. Cladding axis offset and core axis offset
measurements can be displayed.
c) After completion of fiber alignment, arc discharge is performed to
splice the fibers.
d) Estimated splice loss is displayed upon completion of splicing. Splice
loss is affected by certain factors stated in Page 27. These factors are
taken into account to calculate, or estimate, splice loss. The calculation
is based on certain dimensional parameters, such as MFD. If either the
cleave angle measured or the estimated splice loss exceeds its set
threshold, an error message is displayed. If the spliced fiber is
detected as abnormal, such as "Fat", "Thin" or "Bubble", an error
message is displayed. If no error message is displayed but the splice
looks poor by visual inspection through the monitor, it is strongly
recommended to repeat the splice from the beginning.
