Optical Fiber Fusion; Heat-Shrinkable - Artic FUSION SPLICER 5.7 Operation Manual

Optical fiber fusion
After clamping, the machine is in a ready state, as shown below. If in "Automatic" splice mode,

auto splice begins as soon as the windproof closed. If in "Manual" splice mode, the user must
press the "SET" button to run the splice routine.

First, select the fusion parameter group according to the optical fiber type. Press "MENU" to
enter the main menu, and then select the "parameters" icon and press the "confirm" key to
enter the menu. We need to select a fusion parameter group matched with splice fiber type.
It is suggested to choose SM8.
Press "SET" to start the splicing procedure. The machine drives the motor, which will promote
both sides of fibers to the middle of the screen, judging the fiber end face whether meet the
requirements. If qualified, turn to the next process, otherwise show a tip of bad end face and
stop.
After judgment, the alignment motor will adjust fiber Position to make both sides of fibers
align in three-dimensional. At last, the electrode discharge arc to fuse fiber. When fusion is
completed, the machine will give the loss estimates, and have a tension test if needed.

Heat-shrinkable

The optical fiber fusion point is really fragile and easily broken, so, you need protection by
using heat shrinkable. Open the windproof cover, large platen and heater cover. Gently
remove fiber, and donʼt bend fiber greatly to avoid the fusion point broken.
