Splicing Procedures

Standard fusion splicing process for optimal results.

Fiber preparation: Strip, clean, and cleave fibers properly.
Fiber placement: Insert fibers into V-grooves, ensure proper seating.
Cover closure: Close cover completely for protection.
Splice initiation: Press START button to begin automatic process.
Result verification: Check estimated loss and image quality.
Heater operation: Place splice protector and start heating cycle.
Completion: Remove completed splice and record results.

CAUTION! Always wear safety glasses. Handle cleaved fibers with care to avoid injury.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity.

Daily cleaning: Clean V-grooves with alcohol and lint-free wipes.
Electrode maintenance: Clean electrodes regularly; replace after 2000 splices.
Lens cleaning: Clean camera lenses with approved cleaning tools.
Battery care: Charge fully before storage; avoid complete discharge.
Storage: Store in protective case with desiccant.

WARNING! Use only approved cleaning materials. Do not use compressed air.

Calibration

Regular calibration maintains splicing accuracy.

Arc calibration: Perform weekly or when changing environments.
Camera calibration: Ensure proper fiber recognition and alignment.
Heater calibration: Verify temperature and timing accuracy.
System check: Run diagnostic tests periodically.

Note: Calibration required when moving between different temperature/humidity conditions.

Error Codes and Troubleshooting

Error Code	Description	Corrective Action
E01	Fiber alignment failure	Clean V-grooves, check fiber condition
E02	Arc failure	Check electrodes, perform arc calibration
E03	Camera error	Clean lenses, restart unit

Safety Precautions

Essential safety guidelines for operation and maintenance.

Always wear safety glasses during fiber preparation and splicing
Keep fingers away from electrode area during operation
Do not operate in wet or humid conditions
Use only approved power supplies and batteries
Disconnect power before cleaning or maintenance
Avoid looking directly at arc without protection
Properly dispose of fiber scraps and cleaning materials
