Page 5: Main Menu
Main menu EXIT Exit menu. CLEAN ELECTRODES Run the clean program to remove dirt on electrodes. This should be done at least every 20 splice. CALIBRATE Start automatic environmental compensation. This should be done every time the environment changes. The splicer will adjust this calibration a small step every splice but when changing environment this calibration will be needed.

Fiber type menu SINGLE MODE FIBER Setup splicer for splicing SMF. MULTI MODE FIBER Setup splicer for splicing MMF. EXIT Exit menu. Set clock menu Changes selected items up one step. DOWN Changes selected items down one step. MOVE Steps to next item. When Exit item is selected, chose Exit button to set the new time.
Page 8 CAL. FIBER POS Starts automatic calibration of fiber zero point setting. Put fibers in their holders and place them in the splicer before starting. SAVE NEW POS If the fibers are visible and in the correct position like in the picture above the new position can be saved.
Page 9: Preparing The Fiber
Preparing the fiber Often, incorrect handling or preparation causes splice loss. It is crucial to keep tools and fiber clean; the invested time used in fiber and tool handling is more than compensated for in reduced troubleshooting effort. Protective sleeve Before preparing the fiber for splicing, make sure to put the protective sleeve in place.
Page 10: Cleaning The Fiber
Cleaning the fiber Use a pair of tweezers equipped with cotton buds soaked in alcohol (according to picture) or a similar tool. Press the tweezers together and clean the fiber with by moving the tweezers from the fiber holder towards the end of the fiber. Repeat, but rotate the tweezers. A squeaking sound indicates that the fiber is clean...
Page 11: Cleaving The Fiber
Cleaving the fiber Position the fiber holder in the cleaver. Insert the fiber holder from above, not from the side. Check that the fiber holder is properly in place and as far to the right as possible. Move the sliding part of the cleaver towards you.
Page 12 Close the cleaver lid and push the sliding part away from you. Lift the fiber holder up so that it don't get dirty.
Page 13: Splicing
Splicing Select the proper splice program. Make sure a reset has been performed since last splice. Place the fiber holder Keep the fiber holder at an angle and move it passed its intended resting place. Fold the fiber holder down until it makes contact with support surface. Gently pull the fiber holder back until it snaps in place.
Page 14 Are the fibers clean? VERY BAD GOOD If not, re-do the stripping, cleaning and cleaving procedure. Are the fibers properly aligned? If not, make sure the fiber holders are properly snapped into place. If this does not help, clean the v-groove described below.
Page 15 Press the SPLICE button. When the fully automated splicing process is done, the estimated loss is presented. If estimated loss is bigger than 0.1dB the splice is bad and has to be re-spliced.
Page 16: Cleaning The V-Groove Of The Fusion Splicer
Cleaning the v-groove of the fusion splicer The function of the high precision surface of the v-groove can be influenced by dirt. Whenever there is a consistent problem with fiber offset, try cleaning the surface as follows. To clean the v-groove proceed as follows: Put a fiber in a fiber holder, strip clean and cleave it.
Page 17: Oven Maintenance
Oven maintenance The oven needs to be cleaned and greased with regular intervals, to make removal of the shrink sleeves easy. Use silicon grease and apply it to the bottom of the oven with a cotton bud. See below.
