  • Page 15: Splicing Procedure

    To ensure a good splice, the optical fiber is observed with the image processing system equipped in the 910FS. However, in some cases the image processing system cannot detect a faulty splice. Visual inspection with the monitor is often necessary for better splicing yield.

    910FS Splicer Maintenance The 910FS can perform routine maintenance. In “Maintenance”, the operator can calibrate arc, set motor drive, calibrate motors, adjust screen, replace electrodes, and stabilize electrodes. Arc Calibration Used to calibrate arc function to obtain the best splicing results when a splicing session is first started or if the splicing environment has changed.
  • Page 28 910FS Splicer Cleaning the Electrodes It may be necessary to clean the electrodes if the arc calibration fails or if the 910FS is not splicing properly. 1. Remove the electrodes and clean the electrodes using the electrode polisher. 2. Insert the electrode tip into the hole of the electrode polisher and gently rotate the electrode.

    1. Identify the field fiber type by consulting the fiber manufacturer’s data sheet. 2. Obtain an approximately 10 m length of fiber (same as field fiber). 3. Determine if this fiber type has a pre-programmed splicing profile in the 910FS. Use this profile for splicing.
  • Page 48 910FS Splicer Testing Splicing Splice-on Connectors (SOC) The 910FS can fusion splice SOC using the universal SOC adapters. Be sure to select the correct SOC to match the field fibers before splicing. The following procedure should be used to practice fusion splicing with SOC: 1.

    900 μm field fiber. Use the 910CL to cleave the field fiber. Insert the fiber adapter with the cleaved fiber into the left-hand side of the 910FS fusion splicer. Make sure to butt the 900 μm buffer up to the edge of the fiber adapter. This will ensure that the mini splice sleeve will adhere to both sides of the 900 μm buffer.
