Tensile Test

Tensile force

The splicer allows the user to check the splice for tensile strength.

Activating the

tension test

The tensile test can be switched on and off in each program group except "Attenuation

splice" (see section 3).

The program sequences with the tensile test switched on and switched off are shown

below.

Test results with

tension test acti-

vated

- "Test passed" if test result positive

- "Tension test passed" if test result negative

- "Test ended" if fibers not LID-compatible

Note

For the tensile test, it is essential, even in the video programs, for the fiber to be in-

serted into the LID system straight through (without looping between the LID flap and

holder flap) and for all flaps to be closed.

If you have left a loop between the LID and holder flaps (in the case of depressed inner

cladding fibers), insert the fibers into the LID system without loop before performing the

tension test.
