fiber for telecommunications. The features are described below:
- Polarization maintaining optical fiber (PM), normal single-mode fiber(SM) and
multi-mode fiber(MM) are applicable for splicing.
- The Splicer performs fiber gap setting, core/cladding alignment and splice
automatically by image processing by an internal microprocessor.
- Both PAS and RIDS can be used for Fujikura PANDAfiber and 3M Tiger fiber. Only
RIDS can be used for other kinds of PM fiber.
PANDA : Polarization Maintaining and Absorption Reducing Fiber
PAS : Profile Alignment System
RIDS : Remote Injection and Detection System
- A core alignment method is used for the SM fiber. A cladding alignment method is
used for the MM fiber.
- The FSM-20PMII has a pressure sensor to adjust discharge power automatically
when there is a charge in altitude or atmospheric pressure.
- The Splicer is powered by AC 100-240V 50-60Hz (Max.3A.)
- Proper cleave length is 10mm-16mm for φ0.22mm and φ0.25mm coated fiber, and
16mm only for φ0.4mm and φ0.9mm coated fiber.

Y view to the X view. If this is done after a gap set
operation, the fiber are adjusted to the center of the
monitor and focused automatically.
37 RESET Key Used for the reset operation. When RESET key is
pressed, the system stop at any step of operation and
the fibers move back to Z-axis home position. Splicer
performs the RESET with a beep sound and displays
"RESET" during the reset operation. After the reset
operation is completed, "READY" is displayed on the
monitor.
38 ARC Performs the arc discharge when "READY," "PAUSE"
(after gap setting) and "FINISHED" (after splicing)
messages are displayed on the screen. In the "PAUSE"
state, the splicer performs the arc discharge as well as
the fiber stuffing when the "ARC" key is pressed. If the
splice mode is SM, the loss estimation automatically
follows the discharge operation. Only the arc discharge
occurs if the "ARC" key is pressed in the "READY"
state. In the "FINISHED" state, pressing the "ARC"
key results in the rearc.

WARNING
WARNINGWARNING
WARNING
(1) This equipment is designed for splicing the optical glass fiber for
telecommunication. Do not attempt to splice any other types of fibers
or any other materials.
(2) Safety glasses should always be worn during the fiber preparation
and the splicing process. A glass fiber fragment can be extremely
dangerous if it comes into contact with the eye, skin, or is ingested.
(3) Use only the power cord attached. An improper power cord may
cause fire and/or equipment damage.
(4) The appliance inlet is used to disconnect the power cord when
using the equipment. Be sure to position the equipment so that it is
easy to disconnect the power cord.
(5) If the side ventilation holes are covered, high temperature inside
the equipment may result in damage. Confirm the clearance of 2
inches between the ventilation holes and wall when placing the
equipment.
(6) Check the AC or DC power source before turning on the equipment.
Proper power source is AC100-240V, 50-60Hz (Max.3A). Using power
source out of the proper range can cause personal injury and/or
equipment damage.
(7) When using an AC power generator, check AC output voltage with
a tester which can measure AC voltage. The AC output voltage from
the generator must be within AC100-240V, 50-60Hz. Generating
wrong high voltage above the specification is a common fault.
Measuring the AC output voltage is necessary before every use.
(8) Never operate the equipment in an environment where flammable
liquids, or vapor exists. Extremely dangerous fire and explosion may
be resulted in with the splicer's electrical arc under such an
environment.
(9) During arc discharge, the electrodes generate very high voltage.
The following measures will prevent personal injury and/or equipment
damage from the high electrical voltage.
-Make sure no water or liquid is present on the equipment.
-Never touch the electrodes.
-Before operation, connect the equipment to the electrical ground
(earth).
-When using an AC power source, use the AC power cord attached. It
connects to electrical ground through the third pin of the AC plug.
-Make sure the power switch is off when the power cord is plugged in
or out.
-Turn the power switch off and disconnect the power cord before the
electrodes, the fuse or the up/down mirror is replaced.

CAUTON
(1) Keep the splicer free from sand or dust. Never clean the V-groove
with a hard material or rough object. Doing so will damage the
surface, and degrade the performance.
(2) Precise adjustment and alignment have been made to all parts of
this splicer before shipping. Do not loosen any screws or make any
modifications to the splicer other than electrodes, up/down mirror and
fuse replacements. If you encounter some problem with the splicer,
please contact a sales agent.
(3) The equipment must not be placed on an unstable place. In case
the equipment falls to the ground, it may cause personal injury and/or
damage the equipment.

control box with control Cord.
4.2.2 Power ON/OFF Procedure
4.2.2.1 Power ON Method
1. Remove the blue Z-unit stopper
Remove the blue Z-unit stopper form the splicer.
2. Check Input Voltage
Input voltage must be AC100-240V 50-60Hz (Max.3A.). Check the voltage
fluctuation and the power factor when an AC power generator supplies AC
power to the splicer.
3. Turn ON the Power Switch of the splicer
Turn ON the power switch of the splicer.
4. Check the Input Voltage Indicator and message of the monitor
(1) Input Voltage Indicator
A needle of the voltage indicator
should point to the green range in
the AC power.
(2) Message of the Monitor
"READY" message appears after a
self-diagnostic test. (Display 1)
