Splicing problem solving
8.1 When loss is high
 Any dust or foreign substance on the fiber surface may incur poor splice.
 Clean the fiber surface sufficiently.
 Do not clean the fiber after cleaving to prevent dust from being
gathered on the fiber cross section.
 Do not push in the fiber when putting it on V-Groove.
The fiber should be placed from the top to bottom.
 Any foreign substance on V-Groove hinders the correct alignment.
 Keep the V-Groove clean at all times.
 Electrodes bad condition
 When an electrodes contains an abrasion or its tip is bent and dirty,
replace the electrodes.
 Arc amount and arc time are inappropriate.
 Check the setting of arc amount and arc time to reset them with
proper values.
 Without any great change, the initially set values are the most
appropriate ones.
 Inappropriate splice mode
 Check whether appropriate splice mode is selected for the fiber.
