Common Problems and Troubleshooting
• Do not clean the fiber after cleaving to prevent dust on
the fiber end-face.
• Avoid any contact with the fiber end-face.
• Press "TEST" bottom to calibration.
• Check the condition of fiber cleaver. If the blade is
worn, rotate the blade to a new position.
• Confirm the [Cleave Limit] setting. 2.0° or less is
recommended.
Dust or dirt is on
the V-groove or the
clamp chip.
Dust or dirt on the V-groove or clamp chip causes poor
fiber movement during fiber stuffing. Clean them
periodically.
Dust or dirt is on
the lens or mirror.
Execute the [Dust Check]. If dust or dirt exists, clean the
lenses or mirrors.
Replace the electrodes if they appear worn (rounded tip
shape), dirty or bent.
Calibrate the arc power with the [Arc Calibration]
function.
Using unsuitable
splice mode.
Select a suitable splice mode for the fibers to be spliced.
[Loss Limit] is set
too low.
Increase [Loss Limit] to an adequate limit.
Fibers were spliced
after Error was
canceled.
Select the appropriate splice mode from the Other modes.
