•Select “G652/SM AUTO” to splice standard SM
•Select “AUTO” mode to splice unknown fiber types.
However, splice time might be longer.
•“G652/SM FAST” will shorten the splice time. However,
periodic Fusing Power Calibrations are neccesary.
•Select the adequate heater mode according to the sleeve.
The [READY] screen shows the current heater mode.
•When using a protection sleeve which is not made by Fujikura,
please set parameters based on the specific sleeve.
•Splicr can connect to the CT50 cleaver and RS02/03 ribbon
stripper.
•When wireless comunication is established, the splicer
monitors the conditon of these tools. If the splicer sees that the
tool has an issue, it alerts the operator with an on-screen alarm.
•After initial pairing, the devices are always paired.
Communication between splicer, cleaver and stripper resumes
automatically even after power cycling.
•Refer to the setting guide “SG-02” or instruction manual for
wireless communication function details.
Basic operations can be performed from the
touch screen after the power is turned on.

• Clean the bottom of the V-grooves with a thin lint-free cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
• Remove excess alcohol from V-grooves with a clean dry swab.
• Dislodge debris in the V-groove by using the cleaved fiber end face if there is a remaining
deposit in the bottom of the V-groove.
Cleaning before Splice Operation
• When the lens is dirty, clean
it with a thin cotton swab
moistened with alcohol.
• Remove the electrodes when
cleaning the lens.
• Take care not to damage the lens
surface by using a rigid or hard
object when cleaning.
•
Do not allow contact onto the electrode tips.
•
Use only 99% or better purity of alcohol.
•
Use new lint-free cotton swab every time you clean.

• When the “Replace electrodes” message appears,
or when the tip is damaged, replace electrodes.
• If the electrodes appear heavily worn, it is
recommended to replace the electrodes
even if the alarm message hasn’t appeared.

Error Message Reason Solution
Too Long Fiber
• The fiber end-face is placed on the electrode
centerline, or beyond it
• The cleave length (bare fiber part) is too long
•
Dust or dirt is on the objective lens
Press , and set the fiber end-face between the
electrode centerline and the V-groove edge.
Confirm the placement of the stripped fiber end on the fiber
cleaver. Check the cleave length.
Execute [Dust Check]. Clean the lens when dust or dirt exists.
Too Dusty Fiber
• Dust or dirt is on the fiber surface
• Dust or dirt is on the objective lens.
• [Cleaning Fuse] time is too short or “OFF”.
• Splicing fibers with unresolvable core positions using
the SM or DS modes
• [Align] is set to “Core” when splicing fibers with unresolvable
core positions when using other splice modes
• [Focus] is incorrectly set when using other
splice modes.
Completely prepare the fiber again (strip, clean and cleave).
Execute the [Dust Check]. Clean the lens if dust or dirt exists.
Set the [Cleaning Fuse] time to “150ms.” When splicing carbon
coated fibers, set to “200ms.”
Use the MM mode to splice fibers with unresolvable core
positions (i.e. MM fiber).
Set [Align] to “Clad” to splice these fibers (i.e. MM fiber).
Set [Focus] to “Edge” to splice fibers with unresolvable core
positions (i.e. MM fiber). To splice distinct core fibers, “Auto”
or the correct focus value should be entered.
ZL/ZR Motor
Overrun
• The fiber is set too far back and does not reach
the splice point
• The cleave length (bare fiber part) is too short.
• Splicing loose buffer tube fiber without protrusion engaged
Press , re-position the fiber again with the end-face
closer to the electrodes.
Confirm the placement of the stripped fiber end on the fiber
cleaver. Check the cleave length.
Flip the protrusion switch so it engages the loose buffer tube fiber.
Large Cleave
Angle
• Bad fiber end-face
• [Cleave Limit] was changed to a low cleave angle.
Check the condition of the fiber cleaver. If the blade is worn,
rotate the blade to a new position.
Load the default cleave angle value from the splice mode database.

Bad fiber end-face Clean and check the condition of the fiber cleaver.
If the blade is worn, rotate the blade to a new position.

Check the condition of the fiber cleaver. If the blade is worn,
rotate the blade to a new position.
