Page 4: Important Safety Information
FSP200 Important Safety Information General Use this unit for the manufacturer’s intended purpose only, as described in this manual. Any other use can impair the protection provided by the unit. Do not use the splicer on live fibers. Environmental Conditions This tool is designed to operate at a maximum relative humidity of 95% and at altitudes up to 5000 m (16,400 ft). - Page 5 FSP200 Important Safety Information (cont’d) Electric shock hazard: Contact with live circuits could result in severe injury or death. Wear eye protection when using this tool. Fiber fragments can be extremely dangerous if they come into contacts with eyes or skin or are ingested.
- Page 6 FSP200 Important Safety Information (cont’d) Electric shock hazard: Use only proper power source. • Check AC power source before use. Proper AC power source is 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz. Proper DC power source is 10–12 VDC. Improper AC or DC power source could cause fuming, electric shock, or equipment damage.
- Page 7 FSP200 Important Safety Information (cont’d) Battery safety: • Do not allow anything to contact the battery terminals. • Do not immerse batteries in liquid. Liquid may create a short circuit and damage the battery. If batteries are immersed, contact your service center for proper handling.
- Page 8 FSP200 Important Safety Information (cont’d) • Do not use any chemical other than pure alcohol (99% or greater) to clean the objective lens, V-groove, LCD monitor, etc. Use of other chemicals may cause blurring, discoloration, damage, or deterioration. • This tool requires no lubrication. Oil or grease may degrade the splicing performance and damage the splicer.

Page 13: Fiber Preparation
FSP200 Fiber Preparation Placing Protection Sleeve over Fiber Place the protection sleeve over the fiber. Clean optical fiber with alcohol-soaked gauze or lint-free tissue approximately 100 mm (4 in) from the tip. Note: Splice-on connectors are pre-cleaved. Do not attempt to clean the fiber on the splice-on connector. Follow the instructions supplied with the splice-on connectors. -
Page 14: Splicing Procedure
Splicing Procedure To ensure a good splice, the optical fiber is observed with the image processing system equipped in the FSP200. 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. -

FSP200 Notes: • Splice point sometimes looks a bit fatter than other parts. This is considered a normal splice and does not affect splice loss. • To change threshold for estimated splice loss or cleave angle, refer to “Splice Mode” in this manual for details. -
Page 16: Cooling Tray
Place the splice into the cooling tray on the back of the FSP200 splicer. Splice-on Connectors The FSP200 uses the Tempo Communications version of splice-on connectors. The FSP200 currently supports SC, LC, FC, and ST versions (both PC and APC finish, where applicable). -

Editable parameters include Heat Time and Heat Temp (heating temperature). Heat Time will automatically adjust according to atmospheric conditions, e.g., ambient temperature. The actual Heat Time may vary from set Heat Time.

Core angle Dust on V-groove or fiber clamp chip Clean V-groove and fiber. Check damaged. - Page 31 Note: A vertical line sometimes appears at the spice point when MM fibers or dissimilar fibers (different diameters) are spliced. This does not affect splice quality, such as splice loss or tensile strength. Note: If the user is getting high splice losses, make sure that the FSP200 is not in Splice Mode #10, which is used to make attenuator splices.

Page 35: Appendix A. Fsp200 Fusion Splicer Cleaning
FSP200 Appendix A. FSP200 Fusion Splicer Cleaning Precautions When Cleaning FSP200 • Turn off splicer. • Use only lint-free cotton swabs. • Use only 99% pure isopropyl alcohol or an approved substitute. • Do not touch the electrodes. • Never use compressed air. • Use the cleaning brush only to clean debris from general working area, never on the lenses, or V-grooves. - Page 36 FSP200 Cleaning Objective Lenses (recommended weekly) Refer to Figure 3. If the surfaces of the objective lenses become dirty, normal observation of the core position may be incorrect, resulting in higher splice loss or poor splicer operation. Therefore, clean both of them at regular intervals. Otherwise, dirt may accumulate and become impossible to remove.
- Page 37 FSP200 area of the fiber adapters. Cleaning Fiber Cleaver (recommended daily) Refer to Figure 4. If the circular blade or clamp pads of the fiber cleaver become contaminated, the cleaving quality could degrade. This may lead to fiber surface or end-face contamination, resulting in higher splice loss. Clean the circular cleaving blade and clamp pads with a lint-free cotton swab soaked with isopropyl alcohol.

Page 38: Appendix B. Practice Splicing
Refer to the contents of this instruction manual for the FSP200 and FCL200. • Clean all connectors before making a connection. It is highly recommended that new FSP200 users use the AUTO mode splicing profile until they have become proficient at splicing. Checking the Splice Quality of the FSP200 The user should practice splicing with the type of fiber that they will use in their installation before attempting to splice fibers in those installations. -

Slide the 900 μm strain relief boot and then the 27 mm mini splice protective sleeve over the 900 μm field fiber. Use the FCL200 to cleave the field fiber. Insert the fiber adapter with the cleaved fiber into the left-hand side of the FSP200 fusion splicer. Make sure to butt the 900 μm buffer up to the edge of the fiber adapter. - Page 40 FSP200 5. Insert the holder into the right-hand side of the splicer (Figure 6), making sure that the fiber stub lays properly into the V-groove block of the splicer. You may use the fiber positioning tool to help align the fiber in the V-groove. The fiber for FC and ST splice-on connectors must have the fiber laying in the end of the fiber groove in the V-groove.
