VIII.How to deal with splicing problems
8.1 When the splice loss is too high
o It may have been caused by dirt or dust on the surface of fibers.
Carefully clean the surface of the fibers.
DO NOT clean the fiber after being cleaved so as to prevent the
contamination of its cross section.
o The arrangement of the fibers can be interrupted by the dirt in the V-
groove.
Keep the V-Groove clean at all times.
o Bad electrodes
Replace the electrodes. The tips are bent or contaminated if they are
worn out.
o Improper arc discharge or arc discharge time.
Check the set values of arc discharge amount and arc discharge time
and reset them, if necessary.
The machine is delivered after being set to the most optimized
values from the factory.
o Inappropriate splice mode
Check if the proper splice mode for the fiber has been selected.
