Selecting the Splicing Sequence
Each splicing sequence consists of:
- Cleaning.
- Positioning (X/Y axis, Z axis).
- Fusion, with feed in Z direction.
- Assessment of splice (only with fully automatic and automatic modes).
You can choose between automatic and manual splicing sequences. The following
splicing sequences can be used:
- Fully automatic.
- Automatic.
- Semi-automatic.
- Manual fiber positioning.
The flow chart under "Selecting the splicing sequence" shows how the various splicing
sequences are activated (see next page).
Fully automatic
You will normally use the fully automatic splicing sequence. The selected fusion pro-

Automatic

If the fiber ends are still not clean after five cleaning cycles, they must be restripped and
recleaved.
Semi-automatic
For test purposes, select semi-automatic splicing. In this mode you have to initiate
cleaning, X/Y positioning, Z positioning and fusion individually.
