What does DEVICE ERROR mean on Sumitomo TYPE-66M12?
This error indicates that the controlboard has a problem. Please contact our maintenance service center.
Why is my Sumitomo TYPE-66M12 fiber breaking?
Fiber breakage can occur if the arc power level is too weak; in this case, re-do an arc test. Also, clean the V-grooves and bare fiber pads completely. Deterioration of a jacket remover/fiber cleaver may also cause breaking, so ensure these are clean as well.
How to fix Alignment Error (L)(R)(LR) on Sumitomo Industrial Electrical?
An alignment error may occur if there is dust in the V-groove or on the fiber. To resolve this, clean the V-groove and re-cleave the fiber.
What to do if I see Splice Error (Splice) (Thin) (Thick) (Neck) (Bubble) on Sumitomo TYPE-66M12 Industrial Electrical?
This error could be due to several reasons: Thin splices can be caused by high fiber end irregularity, low Overlap value, or strong arc power. Thick splices may result from high fiber end irregularity, high Overlap value, or weak arc power. Bubble or Neck errors often indicate fiber irregularity or end face problems. Perform an arc test again to adjust arc power. Check that the arc parameters such as Fusion time, Prefusion time, Overlap, and etc. have correct values. Re-arcing will sometimes resolve the problem.
How often do Sumitomo Industrial Electrical electrodes need replacement?
The electrodes typically need replacement after 1000 splices. Some common symptoms that indicate the electrodes need replacing are: Fluttering or unstable arc observed on the monitor, Sizzling noise while arcing, Bubbles in the fibers after splicing, Fiber burned in half, Diameter faults, High or inconsistent splice losses.
How to resolve Cut Error (Angle) (L)(R)(LR) on Sumitomo Industrial Electrical?
If you encounter a cut error due to the cleave angle exceeding the allowable level, re-cleave the fiber.
How to correct Fiber Pitch Error (L)(R)(LR) on Sumitomo TYPE-66M12?
This error indicates the fiber pitch exceeds the allowable level. Place the fiber into the V-groove again.
How to fix Dust Error (L)(R)(LR) on Sumitomo TYPE-66M12 Industrial Electrical?
This error indicates there is dust or dirt on the fiber. Re-cleave the fiber.
How to troubleshoot Diameter Check Error (L)(R)(LR) on Sumitomo TYPE-66M12 Industrial Electrical?
This error indicates the splicer failed in image processing and the fiber diameter was not analyzed. Place the fiber in the V-groove again.
How to clear Brightness Error Brightness Various Error LED error on Sumitomo Industrial Electrical?
This error indicates the splicer failed in LED brightness adjustment. Clean the LED, the mirror protection glass, and the microscope lens.
