Splicing operation
How to use keypad
•Turning splicer on
•Select splice mode
•When splicing only standard SM bers (ITU-T G.652),”SM AUTO” mode is recommended.
•When splicing different types of bers, “AUTO” mode is recommended, but splice speed is slower.
•Splicing speed of “SM FAST” mode is faster, but periodically Arc calibration is required.
•Check splicing and heater modes
•Cleaning bers
•Place the sleeve on the ber
•Stripping ber
•Cleaning ber
•Cleaving ber
•Install ber onto splicer
•Start splicing by closing wind proof cover
•Visual inspection on LCD during splice
•Remove the spliced ber
•Centering protection sleeve on spliced ber
•Put the sleeved ber into heater
•Start heating by closing heater cover

Cleaning ber
•Make sure the stripped ber is free of coating debris or dust.
•Use only 99% or better purity alcohol.
•Clean by clean wipes (dustproof)
•Keep the cleaved ber ends face in clean condition.
•Place the ber end between V-groove edge and
Electrode center.

AC Charger
•Connect battery pack (LBT-20) with AC charger, power cable.
•Do not stack battery pack on top of charger while recharging.
•Recharging temperature: 0~40°C (32~104°F).
CAUTION

CAUTION
When ARC discharge is not stable. Electrodes should be stabilized and calibrated to
reform the arc discharge. Install prepared SM bers onto splicer to operate stabilize
electrodes and arc calibration. After installation SM bers, splice bers again.

Maintenance
Diagnostic test
In case of trouble, proceed this procedure.
Operation procedure :
•Select [Diagnostic Test] in [Maintenance Menu] and execute [Diagnostic Test].
•LED Check
Measure and adjust the brightness of the illumination LED.
•Dust Check
Check the optical path for dust or dirt and judges whether they disturb ber observation.
If contamination exists, this function indicates the location.
•Motor Calibration
Automatically calibrate press motor movement.
•Arc Calibration
Automatically calibrate the arc power value.
•Upon completion of all checks and adjustments, a list of results is displayed. If the dust check result
is not good, clean the objective lenses. If the cleaning cannot eliminate contamination, there is a
possibility that the contamination may be in the inside of the optical path. Please contact your
sales agency for additional instructions. The dust check and motor calibration functions
exist as independent instructions in [Maintenance Menu]. It is possible to execute them
independently.
Note : Before you start test, remove the bers from the splicer. When the above item No. 2
(dust check) is completed, prepare and load the bers onto the splicer and press “SET”

When lens is dirty, clean it.
Important: 1) Always use SM ber only 2) To keep in best splice condition, following the procedure.
CAUTION
During cleaning,
•Do not contact the electrode tips.
•Use only 99% or better purity alcohol.
•Clean by clean wipes (dustproof)
!
Objective lens
If lens is dirty, clean it periodically, with alcohol moistened thin cotton swab. Otherwise, the lens can
make trouble.
Electrodes
When “Replace Electrodes” message appears, or when the tip is damaged, replace electrodes.
•Execute [Replace Electrodes]
•Press “SET”. than automatically turns off
•Loosen screws
•Take out electrodes
•Put new electrodes
•Reassemble the electrode cover
•Tighten screws
•Turn splicer on
•Install prepared bers
•Execute [Stabilize Electrodes]
•Execute [Arc Calibration]
Battery pack
•Discharge battery pack completely every 3 months before recharging.
•When storing battery pack in long term;
•Storing temperature should be -20~30°C (-4~86°F)
•Recharge battery pack every 6 months, not to be empty.
