  • Page 5: Introduction

    1. Introduction The FITEL NINJA NJ001 is a compact designed fusion splicer. This Fusion Splicer splices single fibers. After setting the prepared fibers, NJ001 automatically feeds the fiber ends and inspects their cleave condition and axis offset. Then the NJ001 discharges the arc to melt the glass and butts the end together.

  • Page 30: Fusion Splicing

    7. Fusion Splicing 7.1 Basic Splicing 7.1.1 Arc Check Fusion splicing is used to melt the glass of two optical fiber ends by arc discharging, and joins them together by butting the ends together. Fibers melt or fuse at different temperatures. It is necessary to adjust the arc power in order to ensure optimum splicing results.
  • Page 31 During the arc discharge, the fiber feeding motors of the NJ001 fusion splicer remain idle, preventing the fiber ends from butting. As a result, the fiber ends melt back. The arc check function inspects how far the fibers melt back and the centered position of the fiber.
  • Page 32 A visual arc check can be made by viewing the arc on the monitor by pressing ▲. Electrode discharge should produce a straight and steady arc. Swaying in the arc indicates that the electrodes require either cleaning or replacing. When the “Data Output” in the “Parameter” of “Setting” menu is set “Active”...
