Choosing the improper mode of the heater for a sleeve tube may not shrink the sleeve tube properly. Specifi cally,
the SOC (Splice-On-Connector) should be placed on the right side edge of the heater in order to line up the
right end of the sleeve tube to the right side edge of the heater as shown on the picture below (Right picture). If
the SOC is placed in the middle or on the left side, the sleeve tube of the SOC does NOT shrink.
3| After settling the fi ber, turn on the heater by pressing . (Heating time 20sec)
4| Remove the sleeve protected fi ber by opening the cover when the cooling is completed.
The appropriate sleeve position helps reduce heating operation time.
4.4| SPLICE PROCEDURE
The status and cleaved quality of the fi ber can be monitored by using a KF4 image processing system.
However, for better splice results, visual inspection is also required.
In auto mode, the splicing procedure begins automatically as the wind cover is closed.
1| Fibers installed on the splicer advance toward each other and stop. The fi bers align once arc cleaning is
done. After that, the splicer checks the cleaved angle of each fi ber, the shape of the end-face contaminations
and so on. When the measured cleaved angle is bigger than the preset value, or damage is detected on the
fi ber, an error message is displayed on the screen. The splice procedure stops as well. Even if there is no error
message displayed, visual inspection of the monitor screen is always recommended.
2|Check that the Wind cover is properly closed at more than 900µm cable (Ø2.0~Ø3.0µm)

5|After splicing is completed, the estimated value of the loss is displayed on the screen. The estimated value of
splice loss is subject to various factors related to the error. These factors related to an error affect the estimation
and calculation of estimated loss value as well. Calculation of estimated loss is based on factors such as MFD.
When estimated loss value exceeds the preset value, an error message is displayed on the screen. The error
message is also displayed when the spliced fi bers are too thick or thin, or when bubbles are generated on the
spliced point. If the splice result shown on the screen is not considered good enough, it is recommended that
splicing be conducted again.

In auto mode, the splicing procedure begins automatically as the wind cover is closed.
i. Fibers installed on the splicer advance toward each other and stop. The fibers align once arc
cleaning is done. After that, the splicer checks the cleaved angle of each fiber, the shape of the
end-face contaminations and so on. When the measured cleaved angle is bigger than the preset
value, or damage is detected on the fiber, an error message is displayed on the screen. The
splice procedure stops as well. Even if there is no error message displayed, visual inspection of
the monitor screen is always recommended.
ii. Check that the Wind cover is properly closed at more than 900um cable (Ø2.0~Ø3.0um)
iii. Fibers are aligned, cladding to cladding, after inspection. Deviation on clad axis can be displayed
on the screen.
iv. After alignment completes, arcing is conducted to splice fibers.
v. After splicing is completed, the estimated value of the loss is displayed on the screen. The
estimated value of splice loss is subject to various factors related to the error. These factors
related to an error affect the estimation and calculation of estimated loss value as well.
Calculation of estimated loss is based on factors such as MFD. When estimated loss value
exceeds the preset value, an error message is displayed on the screen. The error message is also
displayed when the spliced fibers are too thick or thin, or when bubbles are generated on the
spliced point. If the splice result shown on the screen is not considered good enough, it is
recommended that splicing be conducted again.
vi. The splice result is saved as follows.
vii. When splice is completed, the splice result is automatically saved.

MAINTENANCE OF SPLICE QUALITY
5.1| CLEANING AND INSPECTION BEFORE SPLICE
5.1.1 V-GROOVE CLEANING
When the inside of the V-groove is contaminated, splice quality may deteriorate. It is important to regularly
inspect and frequently clean the V-groove as follows.
1|Open the wind cover.
2|Clean the V-groove using a cotton swab moistened with alcohol and any proper cleaning agents. Remove
the remaining alcohol from the V-groove using a clean, dry, lint-free cotton swab.
3| When a foreign substance cannot removed with a cotton swab, clean it with the tip of a cleaved fi ber and
repeat the steps above.
5.1.2 PUSHER BLOCK CLEANING
Pusher block contamination causes poor splice quality due to irregular pressure applied to the fi bers. It is
important to frequently inspect and regularly clean it.

5.2| REGULAR INSPECTION AND CLEANING
To ensure splicing quality, regular inspection and cleaning are required.
5.2.1 OBJECT LENS CLEANING
Contamination on the object lens surface disturbs the identifi cation of fi ber core location and consequently
causes high splice loss. Object lenses should be kept clean at all times. If dust accumulates for a prolonged
period, it may be diffi cult to remove. Clean the lens frequently as follows.
1| Turn the power off before cleaning the object lens.
2|Separate the electrodes.
3|Use a soft cotton swab moistened with alcohol to clean in a circular motion from the center as shown in the
fi gure below. Dry the remaining alcohol using a clean, dry, lint-free cotton swab.

Displays the list of splice mode that is saved on the splicer data to facilitate
the selection of a proper mode for use. Among splice modes saved on the
database, it copies a similar splice mode to use an editing function.
Mode title 1 is for indicating splice mode within 11 characters at a maximum.
The closer fi bers are aligned to the core center with a fewer number of
errors, the quicker and better the arcing is done.
Conducts tensile force test after splice.
Sets the cleaved angle’s error limit. When either of the cleaving angles on
both fi bers are outside the limit., an error message is displayed.
Sets the estimated loss value’s error limit. When estimated loss is higher
than the limit, error message is displayed.
When the bending of 2 spliced fi bers exceeds the set limit, an error
message is displayed.
A short arc cleaning is conducted to remove fi ne dust on the fi ber surface
upon initial stage of fi ber alignment. It sets the intensity of the cleaning arc.
It sets the time for the cleaning arc.
Upon fi nal alignment, it sets the clearance of the cross section between
both fi bers.
It sets location of fi ber spliced at the center of arc. When MFD of both
fi bers differs, do the sealing procedure by melting the smaller MFD fi ber
more than the bigger MFD fi ber. To heat the smaller MFD fi ber more,
splice loss can be lowered by moving the clearance location toward the
bigger MFD fi ber at the center of arc.
It sets initial arc amount from the beginning of arc before the fi ber is
advanced. If the value of initial arc amount is too low, the angle of the
fi ber cross section is poor and consequently, an offset can be incurred
on the axis if it is too high, the fi ber can made round or burnt too much
and, consequently, the splice loss value can be big.
It sets the initial time from the beginning of the arc before the fi ber advance.
If [Prefuse time] is long, it means the same that [initial arc amount] gets big.
It sets the duplication of the fi ber on for the fi ber advance amount.
If [Prefuse Power] is weak or [Prefuse time] is short, set the [overlap] to
somewhat small and if the arc amount is strong and the time is long, set it
to somewhat big.
Main arc can be adjusted by 2 levels. The fi rst level of arc is [Arc1 Power]
and the second is [Arc2 Power]. [Arc1 Power] is set in this area.
It sets the time for [Arc1 Power].
[Arc2 Power] is the second level of arc. [Arc2 Power] is set in this area.
It sets the time for [Arc2 Power]. It sets the time for [Arc2 Power].
[Arc time 2] is generally set as “OFF.” It can set the arc time as a very long time
period but when [Arc1 Time] and [Arc2 Time] exceed 30 seconds,
the electrodes can be damaged.
While [Arc2 Power] is on arc, you can set the arc amount as “ON” and “OFF”
in turn. The time period for [Arc2 Power] being “On” is set in this area.
For re-arc, set the arc time as “ON” at all times.
It sets the time period for the arc of [Arc2 Power] when it is turned off.
When [Arc2 Power] is occasionally stopped, re-arc can also be stopped.
When re-arc is continuously required, set as to “OFF.”
It sets re-arc time. Within [splice mode edition], it automatically sets to arc
the re-arc amount with the same intensity as that of [Arc2 Power].
If [Arc2 Power] is set as ON/OFF, re-arc is automatically changed.

When the fi ber is made thin, the splice loss is sometimes increased.
This pulling function is set to “OFF.” The following 3 parameters decide the
pulling shape.
It designates the time period from the last of the advanced fi ber
amount to the beginning of pulling.
It sets the fi ber pulling speed.
It sets the fi ber pulling time.
It is the sum of the initially measured splice loss value and the increased loss.
When splicing a special fi ber or other fi bers, high loss may be incurred in
spite of optimum arc conditions. To match the estimated splice loss and the
actual splice loss, the minimum value of actual splice loss should be set.

To display splice mode, press and select the “CALIBRATION” menu with the button. The calibration
menu is equipped with various functions, such as arc amount calibration, motor operation test, etc.
6.5.1 ARC CALIBRATION
The KF4 continuously checks for a change in temperature and air pressure through each sensor. Based on such
data, arc amount is automatically adjusted. However, a change in arc amount due to abrasion of the electrodes
or the fi ber splice, is not automatically adjusted. The central axis of the arc can also be moved toward the left or
right. In this case, arc calibration is required.
When executing arc calibration, arc voltage is automatically changed to a proper value. This value is calculated
internally. The arc voltage cannot arbitrarily be changed.
Only SM fi ber should be used for arc calibration.

6.5. CALIBRATION
To display splice mode, press and select the “CALIBRATION” menu with the
button. The calibration menu is equipped with various functions, such as arc amount calibration,
motor operation test, etc.
6.5.1 Arc calibration
The KF4 continuously checks for a change in temperature and air pressure through each sensor.
Based on such data, arc amount is automatically adjusted. A change in arc amount due to
abrasion of the electrodes or the fiber splice, however, is not automatically adjusted. The central
axis of the arc can also be moved toward the left or right. In this case, arc calibration is required.
- When executing arc calibration, arc voltage is automatically changed to a proper value. This
value is calculated internally; the arc voltage cannot arbitrarily be changed.
- Only SM fiber should be used for arc calibration.
