ShinewayTech OFS–95 - High Splice Loss Causes and Solutions

Common Problems and Troubleshooting
exists.
Cover is open!
The wind protector is
opened during splicing
operation.
Press RESET key after closing the
wind protector.
Left/Right/L-R
fiber angle error!
• [Core Angle Limit] is
set too low.
• Dust or dirt is on the
V-groove or the clamp
chip.
• Bad fiber end-face.
• The splicer measures the core
angle only when using other splice
modes. Increase the [Core Angle
Limit] to an adequate limit. (1.0
degree is standard)
• Clean the V-groove and clamp
chip, and set the fibers again. If the
error occurs again, strip, clean and
cleave the fibers.
• Check the condition of fiber
cleaver. If the blade is worn, rotate
the blade to a new position.
If got High Estimated Loss
Reason
Solution
Insufficient fiber
cleaning
Dust or dirt on the fiber surface results in bad splice loss
and low tensile strength.
• Clean the fiber surface sufficiently.
