Page 15: Splice
Splice mode,select and enable the splice mode which matched with the fiber type. When the fiber type is uncertain, AUTO mode is suggested, but the splicing speed will be slower. (Pay attention: AUTO mode is only available for FFS-10000)

Page 18: Camera
The splicer will keep operating after finishing the second time alignment. AMERA This option is for setting up the display mode of X/Y view during the fiber splicing process. FFS-10000 Fast Fusion Splicer has two cameras,the display images from these two cameras called X-view and Y-view.
Page 19: Skip Error
Camera interface shows several steps while a fiber splicing process: Gapset Push the fibers into view. Clean ARC to clean the fiber. Align Adjust fibers to align approximately. Adjust fibers to align accurately. Align again ARC to splice the fibers. Estimate Estimate the splicing loss.
Page 20 Skip error interface lists various errors that may be detected in a fiber splicing process: Fiber end face Fiber is not found,face uneven or dust error Cutting angle is too large. End face Angle too large Fiber angle The fibers of V-grooves are not in the same Too large level (There may be dust on the V-grooves or fiber...

Page 29: Electrodes Replacement
LECTRODES REPLACEMENT When ARC times surpass the electrodes’ lifetime, the discharging will be unstable, and splicing loss goes larger. So, suggest users to clean the electrodes after every 500 times splicing. When the splicer warns users of replacing electrodes, please change the electrodes as required to guarantee the splicer’s performance.

Page 33: Date Time
languages under this menu can be selected. ATE TIME Date time interface is for setting date and time. The exact date and time would be shown on functions like splice history and image storage, etc. Correct date and time can make your information more accurate. The power supply on the mainboard makes sure time run precisely when the machine is off.
Page 34: Power Saving Mode
OWER SAVING MODE The splicer can run at power saving mode when idling time. These options are available: When this function is off, the machine won’t go into power saving mode automatically anytime. (Number) The machine will go into power saving mode automatically when there is no operation during the setting times.
Page 35: Factory Reset
Back The display image always shows backward. ACTORY RESET Factory Reset is used for recovering factory parameters while splicer can not work, which caused by splicing parameter, heating parameter or system information in disorder. After this action, all the manual models which been added would be cleared away.

Page 40: How To Improve The Splicing Quality
Tips: When don’t know the fiber type, choose Auto to splice the first time. Once learn the exact fiber type, then switch to the right splice mode. (Auto only can be used on FFS-10000) Cleaning the V-groove every500 times discharging and splicing.
Page 41 The biggest difference between AUTO splice mode another splice mode is that the splicer will identify the fiber type under the AUTO splice mode and then automatically choose the standard splice mode to splice. e.g.The splicer will select SMG652 splice mode when it identify out the fibers are both SM type.So the splicing time under the AUTO splice...
