DISP
The fusion splicing is a method of melting and connecting the point of theoptical fiber by heat of electrical discharge. Because optimum arc conditionsare different depending on environment (atmospheric pressure and
temperature) and the electrode condition (wear-out and adhesion of theglass) and the optical fiber (manufacturer and SMF/MMF, etc.), appropriatearc condition is necessary to make a low splice loss. Please perform the arctest before splicing in the typical splice program such as SMF Standard.In the Auto mode, TYPE-Q101-CA analyzes the arc and has the function tocalibrate the arc condition automatically at each splice. Therefore, arc test isnot needed usually in the Auto mode.
As an exception, perform an arc test in the following situations tocalibrate the arc power and posi tion.Poor splice performance(high or inconsistent splice losses, poor splice strength)After electrode replacementExtreme changes in temperatures, humidity or air pressure

Replacing electrodes
Electrodes are worn out or contaminated due to silica glass evaporated during arc, and
the electrode condition changes day by day. To achieve a repetitive and stable arc for
excellent quality splicing, electrodes should be replaced periodically. Continuing to use
the same electrodes may result in high splice losses and poor splice strength. On the
TYPE-Q101-CA, electrodes typically need replacing after approximately 3,000 arcdischarges.
< Electrode replacement alarm message>
If the number of arc discharge exceeds 1,000 times, will be highlighted in yellow for
caution. If the number exceeds 2,000 times, Arc Count on the screen will be highlighted
in red for warning, with a message Time for new electrodes.
If the number exceeds 3,000 times, a warning message appears every time the splicer
is powered on and until you replace electrodes according to the replacement
procedures described in the next page.

Splice programs
Category Splice Program Details
Auto
Using Auto fiber profiling check and Detection System (APDS*1), the TYPE-Q101-CArecognizes the type of fiber loaded, automatically chooses the correct splice program,and proceeds to splicing. This mode enables to splice standard SMF (ITU-T G.652),MMF (ITU-T G.651), DSF (ITU-T G.653), NZDSF (ITU-T G.655) and BIF (BendInsensitive fiber, ITU-T G.657). The recognized fiber type is displayed below a fiber
image on the monitor screen.
ATTENTION
The recognizable fiber types are Standard SMF, MMF, DSF, NZDSF and BIF.
DSF is recognized as NZDSF.The fiber detection is conducted on left and right fibers individually. Even if left andright fibers are recognized as different fiber types in the result of the fiber detection,the splicer automatically proceeds to splicing. To double check the results of the fiberdetection, set Arc Pause to ON beforehand.The data on representative core profiles of standard fiber types are stored in theTYPE-Q101-CA. However, other manufacturers and new design fibers maysometimes be recognized incorrectly. In this case, please select suitable splice
program by yourself.Even the fiber is the same category such as NZDSF or BIF, sometimes the suitable
splice program is different depending on the manufacturers or fibers. In this case,please select suitable splice program by yourself.In the Auto mode, TYPE-Q101-CA analyzes the arc and has the function to calibratethe arc condition automatically at each splice. Therefore, arc test is not needed usuallyin the Auto mode.Perform an arc test in the following situations to calibrate the arc power andposition.Poor splice performance (high or inconsistent splice losses, poor splice strength)After electrode replacementExtreme changes in temperatures, humidity or air pressure
Recent The splice program selected recently is listed.
SMF Standard Can be used for splicing identical standard SMF (ITU-T G.652).
SMF QuickCan be used for splicing identical standard SMF (ITU-T G.652) and making a faster
splice. In this mode APDS is disabled.
SMF AIASAutomatic Intentional Axis Shift function (AIAS*2) enables to splice identical standard
SMF (ITU-T G.652) with high core-cladding eccentricities.
Other SMF The splice programs that include standard SMF are listed. ex)SMF-DSF
SMF
ATTN STD
This mode can be used for splicing fibers by shifting the centers of the left and right
fiber cores and achieving intentional high splice losses.
Recommended target attenuation range: 0.1~5.0dB
An estimated splice loss displayed in the splicer may not match an actual splice loss
depending on the fiber type being spliced. It is recommended that actual splice losses
be measured and checked with a power meter.
ATTN: Enter a target splice loss in Function settings (6/6 page). User settable
attenuation range is 0.1~15dB (in increments of 0.1dB).
ATTN factor: If the target splice loss does not match an actual loss, modify this value
in Function settings .

*1: The splicer automatically recognizes optical fiber type loaded via image processing, verifies the selected
splice condition matches the fiber, and also displays the results if a mismatch is detected. This system
prevents an operator from splicing with the incorrect program.
*2: High core-cladding eccentricities have an effect on surface tension during arc, yielding high splice loss.
This method is used to intentionally offset the left and right fiber centers in order to minimize this effect.
*3: Please perform an arc test before splicing on all splice programs except Auto mode.
