7.5. Loss limit over

Error message generated when the estimated loss value is higher than the preset loss factor limit.
Solution: Check the loss factor limit.

7.6. Fiber thin error

Error message generated when the spliced point becomes thinner than the standard after
splicing.
Solution: Make an adjustment to shorten the pulling length of the pulling splice. Check whether the
arc amount or arc time is set as too large or too long.

7.7. Fiber thick error

Error message generated when the spliced point becomes thicker than the standard after
splicing.
Solution: Reduce the overlap set value. Check whether the arc amount or arc time is set as too
small or too short.

7.8. Bubble error

Error message generated when there are bubbles or spots being generated on spliced point
after splicing.
Solution: Examine the fiber cleaver. Clean the V-groove. Examine the electrodes.

7.9. Cleaved surface error

Error message generated when the cut surface of the fiber is of poor quality.
Solution: Check the condition of the fiber cleaver. Re-cleave the fiber.

LOSS LIMIT OVER
Error message generated when the estimated loss value is higher than the preset loss factor limit.
SOLUTION:
Check the loss factor limit.

FIBER THIN ERROR
Error message generated when the spliced point becomes thinner than the standard after splicing.
SOLUTION:
Make an adjustment to shorten the pulling length of the pulling splice. Check whether the arc
amount or arc time is set as too large or too long.

FIBER THICK ERROR
Error message generated when the spliced point becomes thicker than the standard after splicing.
SOLUTION:
Reduce the overlap set value. Check whether the arc amount or arc time is set as too small or
too short.

BUBBLE ERROR
Error message generated when there are bubbles or spots being generated on spliced point after splicing.
SOLUTION:
Examine the fi ber cleaver. Clean the V-groove. Examine the electrodes.
