    PRO-790 3.7. Splicing operation It uses image processing to identify abnormal conditions that sometimes occur during the splicing process. A small portion of these defects sometimes goes undetected and a poor quality splice occurs. Visually inspect the fiber image on the monitor to confirm acceptance or rejection during the various stages of the splicing process.
  • Page 22 PRO-790 Heating with arc discharge After aligning the fibers, the splicer will produce a high voltage arc discharge to fuse the fibers together. During arc discharge, observe the fiber image on the monitor screen. If some part of the image exhibits an extremely bright glow (hot spot), which is created by burning contaminants located on the surface or end-face of the fiber, there is a possibility that the fiber core will be deformed.
