Buzzer will alarm if the angle is bigger than the limited value or glitch on the cleaving surface, and there will be warning on the monitor. 4.7 Splicing procedures 1) Turn on the power, when splice SM fiber (ITU-T.G.652), SM mode is suggested. - Page 28 2) Confirm splicing and heating mode, when splice different types of fibers, Auto Mode is suggested, splicing speed will be slower. 3) Clean the fiber or heating shrinkable tube.Penetrate the fiber into heat shrinkable tube. 4) Strip the fiber and clean it with 99% or better purity alcohol. Make sure the coating trash or dirt is wiped out.
- Page 29 5) Please protect the cleaved fiber end from direct touch with any hard object. 6) Place the fiber between the V-groove and two electrodes.
- Page 30 7) Close the wind-proof cover, automatic splicing starts, visual inspection on screen while splicing. Attention: please don’t slide the fiber along the V-groove. The cleaving section should surpass the V-groove but not exceed the mid of both electrodes. 8) Remove the spliced fiber, into the heater tanker; make sure the splicing position in the center of the heat shrinkable sleeve.

Page 33: Chapter 5 Splicing Mode
Chapter 5 Splicing Mode The menu is concise and easy to operate, each splicing mode defines the current splicing mode, time and other important parameter. It’s vital to select the right splicing mode. There is a pre-defined value of the usual fiber type. In this way, it becomes easier to modify the splicing mode and optimize the combination parameter of un-defined fiber type. -

b. Splicing the fiber quickly. The electrode position is accurately measured 16 times of electrode stabilize. 8.4 Electrode setting The splicing loss will be enlarged and splicing strength will be reduced when the discharging times exceed the electrode life. The electrode is worn by use and must be regularly cleared according to the concentration of the oxide. - Page 52 Be careful not to pull the wiring out when replacing the electrode bars.
