Common Problems and Troubleshooting
A vertical line sometimes appears at the splice point
when MM fibers, or dissimilar fibers (different diameters) are spliced.
This does not affect splice quality, such as splice loss or tensile strength.
Error Message
Reason
Solution
Left/Right/L-R
fiber set too
close!
• The fiber end-face is
placed on the electrode
centerline, or beyond
it.
• The cleave length
(bare fiber part) is too
long.
• Dust or dirt is on the
objective lens or the
wind protector mirror.
• Press RESET, and set the fiber
end-face between the electrode
centerline and the V-groove edge.
• Confirm the setting position of
the stripped fiber end on the fiber
cleaver. Check the cleave length.
• Execute the [Dust Check]. Clean
the lens or the mirror when dust or
dirt exists.
Left/Right/L-R
fiber set too far!
Reset Left/Right
fibers!
Clear Left/Right
fibers!
• Dust or dirt is on the
objective lens or the
wind protector mirror.
• [Cleaning Arc] time
is too short or “OFF.”
• Completely prepare the fiber
again (strip, clean and cleave).
• Execute the [Dust Check]. Clean
the lens or the mirror if dust or dirt
exists.
