Arc Splice

After fibre alignment, the monitor will display the message "alignment is OK". At
this time you can press the start key "
button to reset equipment. If it is set to automatically splice, no press is needed.

Splice Loss Estimation and Quality Assessment

When fibre splice is completed, it shows the message "Dust OK", that means
good fusion result with no dust and no need to clean the fibre again. The loss
estimated amount will be displayed on the right side of the monitor. If fibre splice
is abnormal, such as: too thick, too thin, separated, bubbles-containing, with thin
line, etc. An error message will be displayed on the monitor and users need to
re-splice or re-arc. If there is no error, but the splice effect observed through the
monitor is not good, it is recommended that users re-splice. Note that sometimes
the splice point looks thicker than the rest, but it is normal which does not affect
splice loss.
If effect of fibre splice is normal, but fibre splice loss exceeds the limit amount,
an error message will be displayed on the monitor. The limit amount of loss can
be set in "Splice Mode".
In some cases, compensative arc may improve splice loss. When splice is
completed, press the start key "
re-detect optical fibre to estimate splice loss and determine whether it is
reasonable.
