  • Page 12: General

    General The X75 Fusion Splicer is suitable for producing reliable, low-loss splices of optical fibers. It can be used for all common single-mode and multimode fibers with a cladding diameter of 125 µ m and coating diameters of 250 to 900 µ m. Due to its L-PAS (Lens-Profile Alignment System) video image evaluation with two CCD cameras and an optic system, the X75 Fusion Splicer enables the fiber alignment, end face quality inspection, fiber offset detection, contamination detection and splice loss esti-...

    Putting the Fusion Splicer into Operation DANGER In order to assure safe operation, the fusion splicer must be placed into operation and properly operated by qualified personnel under consideration of the warnings included in these operating instructions. Non-observance may lead to death, severe bodily injury or substantial property damage.

  • Page 23: Cleaning The Fiber

    Cleaning the Clean the fiber ends over a length of approx. 100 mm (coating and uncoated fiber) with a Fiber lint-free paper towel dampened with alcohol. DANGER Risk of fire exists if solvents are spilled. Cleaving the Use a suitable cleaver, e.g. cleaver S46999-M9-A8, to cleave the fiber. Select the correct fiber guides for the cleaver (Fiber Optic Cleaver A8: Universal fiber guide for 250 to 900 µm Fiber coating diameter).

  • Page 24: Inserting The Fiber

    Close the flap (4) at the cleaver and press it down slowly and carefully. Open the flap before removing the cleaved fiber in order to avoid damaging the fiber end face. NOTE If you press the flap down too quickly, you will obtain a poor quality fiber end face and the diamond blade may be damaged.

  • Page 43: Special Program For Truewave Fiber

    Special Program for TrueWave Fiber Cleaving Quality TrueWave fiber reacts with great sensitivity to worn or damaged cleavers. If the cleaver is not in flawless condition, splintering occurs in the coating. As a rule, this damage is not allways visible at the display and is thus not recognized by the splicer.

  • Page 44: Optimizing Parameters For Single-Mode Fibers

    Optimizing Parameters for Single-mode Fibers The pre-selected parameters for the preset and special programs are suitable for all com- mon fiber types. Nevertheless, an optimization of the parameters mays become neces- sary, for example: • If special fiber types are used which demonstrate unusual characteristics or excessive core eccentricity.

  • Page 45: General Rules

    General Rules The following rules apply to practically all single-mode fibers. Deviations from these rules are only necessary for a few special fibers, for example if bubbles are formed. • The standard parameters are always used for Z gap, auto-feed and pre-fusion time. •...
  • Page 46 Press key and initiate with “Refusion“. Measure the loss again. The parameters are set correctly when the loss worsens slightly relative to the first meas- urement ( by 0.01 to 0.03 dB ). If the loss remains unchanged, the fusion current or the time selected was too low.

  • Page 47: Optimizing Parameters For Multimode Fibers

    Optimizing Parameters for Multimode Fibers NOTE The parameters can only be optimized if the electrodes are in flawless condition. In the case of multimode fibers, the optimization of parameters with respect to attenuation is largely non-critical. As opposed to single-mode fibers, it can be assumed that splice attenuation is always good, if the splice demonstrates good visual characteristics.

    Fusion Pre-fusion and fusion of the fibers is performed after alignment. Visual The fiber cladding has a smooth surface if the splice is good. The cores, however, are not Inspection visible at the monitor. The bright line in the middle of the fiber is a result of the lens effect of the fiber itself.

  • Page 55: Re-Fusing

    • The fusion parameters have been set correctly. • Core eccentricity relative to the outside contour must be minimal. Chapter 6 provides examples of poor splices, possible causes and appropriate remedies. Re-Fusing Re-fusing can be used to optimize parameters and to enhance splicing results, if the selected fusion time was too short, or if fusion current was too low.
