When both, the right- and left-hand fibers have been prepared for splicing (see Chapter 6), open the Splice Cap
and locate the FHBs in their respective positions on the Transfer Jig. The Cleave Lever should be in the released,
or back, position.
Note
If splicing fibers with excessive curl or to obtain a high-strength splice, execute the “Load Fiber”
command from the software interface prior to loading the fibers at the splice station as described in
Section 7.3.2
Figure 43 Load FHBs into Transfer Jig
7.3.2. Loading the Fibers
Before loading the fibers the Splice Head has to be moved into the Load Fibers (Splice) position.

The Load Fibers Process is always invoked at the start of a One-Button Automatic Splice Process. Move the
Splice Head to the Load Fibers position by pressing the Splice Button on the splicer or using Execute the Entire
Splice command from the software interface. The “load fiber dialog” will appear on the screen.
