Warning and Caution WARNINGS Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC adapter inlet or the wall socket (outlet) immediately if user observes the following or if the splicer receives the following faults: • Fumes, bad smell, noise, or over-heat occurs. •… -
Page 8
When using an AC generator with AC output voltage of AC220-240V especially, Fujikura Ltd. recommends the following measures to correct the condition. (1) Connect a step-down transformer between the generator and the AC adapter in order to lower the AC voltage from AC220-240V to AC100-120V. -
Page 9
Warning and Caution WARNINGS Do not touch the splicer, AC power cord and AC plugs with wet hands. This may result in electric shock. Do not operate splicer near hot objects, in hot temperature environments, in dusty / humid atmospheres or when water-condensation is present on the splicer. This may result in electric shock, splicer malfunction or poor splicing performance. -
Page 10
Warning and Caution CAUTIONS Follow the below listed instructions for handling electrodes. • Use only specified electrodes. • Set the new electrodes in the correct position. • Replace the electrodes as a pair. Failure to follow the above instructions may cause abnormal arc discharge. It can result in equipment damage or degradation in splicing performance. -
Page 11: Introduction
Introduction Introduction The core alignment fusion splicer FSM-60S with PAS technology is designed for splicing many types of optical fibers. It is small in size and light in weight, making it suitable for any operating environment. It is easy to operate and it splices fast while maintaining low splice loss.
-
Page 12
To operate by the bad environment, the splicer has improved the performance. Dropping Water-Proof Dust Fujikura does not guarantee that the splicer will not be damaged under these conditions. Unique function (1) Automatic change of operating display The FSM-60S can be operated with monitor in front or at back. -

Introduction (3) The fiber clamp release lever The fiber clamp arms are attached to wind protector and they close when wind-protector is closed. However, the fiber clamps can be detached by setting “clamp arm release lever” [UNLOCK]. This option can be recommended when fiber has some memory curl, so operator can make sure the fiber is surely clamped before wind-protector is closed. -

Page 22: Point Of The Splice Procedure
Point of the splice procedure Point of the splice procedure 1. To get a stable low splice loss 1-1. Daily cleaning before Splicing Operation • Clean the V-grooves. • Clean the wind protector mirrors. • Clean the Clamp Chips. • Clean Objective Lens every week, or when it’s dirty. In this case electrodes do not remove from the splicer.
-
Page 23
Point of the splice procedure 1-2. Select / use the suitable splice mode How to select the “Splice Mode” • When splicing only standard SM fibers (ITU-T G.652), “SM AUTO” mode is recommended. •When splicing many types of fibers, “AUTO” mode is recommended, but splice speed is slow. -
Page 24
Point of the splice procedure • Place fiber in the bottom of V-groove for successful splicing. No Good Good • Make sure if the cleave length is correct. Fiber coating edge may hit the V-groove in case with shorter cleave length, and then the fibers may not be stuffed each other during arc discharge and result in worse splice loss. -
Page 25
Point of the splice procedure • Check the fiber angle and cleave shape. The fiber cleave angle affects splicing quality. Large cleave angle worsens splice loss. Incline Chip •Visually check the arc discharge with the monitor. In case the arc discharge is observed “wobbling”… -
Page 26
Heating •Select the heater mode most suitable for the protection sleeve to be used. Each tube-heating mode is optimized for a type of Fujikura protection sleeve. Other manufacture’s fiber protection sleeve may not shrink completely. At that time extend the heating time. See page 80 [Heater Mode]. -
Page 27: Power Supply
Point of the splice procedure 2. Power Supply Use only supplied AC power cord. Connect to ground with ground terminal of AC power cord. 2-1. To prevent the damege of AC adpter AC generators may produce abnormally high AC output voltage or irregular frequencies. Such abnormally high voltage or frequency from a generator may cause fuming, electric shock or equipment damage and may result in personal injury, death or fire.

55 Maintenance of Splicing Quality 2-2. Rotating Cleaver Blade If the cleaver does not cleave properly, rotate the blade 1/16th of a turn to replace the worn out blade position with a sharp blade position. Blade life is normally 1000 cleaves or 250 ribbon cleaves per blade position. To rotate the blade, do the following: (1) Remove the blade cover. (2) Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, remove the fiber scrap container box or the side cover. (3) Push the slide button until it l

93 Maintenance Menu 1. Replace Electrodes It is recommended that the electrodes be replaced after 1,000 arc discharges. When the number of arc discharges reaches a count of 2,000, a message prompting to replace the electrodes is displayed immediately after turning on the power. Using the electrodes without a replacement will result in greater splice loss and reduced splice strength. In certain high strength applications, cleaning the electrod

6 Warning and Caution WARNINGS Use only proper power source. • Proper AC power source is AC100-240V, 50-60Hz. Check the AC power source before use. Proper DC power source is DC10-12V. Improper AC or DC power source may cause fuming, electric shock or equipment damage and may result in personal injury, death or fire. • AC generators commonly produce abnormally high AC output voltage or irregular frequencies. Measure the output AC voltage with a circuit te

24 Point of the splice procedure Heating •Select the heater mode most suitable for the protection sleeve to be used. Each tube-heating mode is optimized for a type of Fujikura protection sleeve. Other manufacture’s fiber protection sleeve may not shrink completely. At that time extend the heating time. See page 80 [Heater Mode]. • Centering protection sleeve in tube heater

43 Basic Operation 9. Splicing procedure To make a good splice, the optical fiber is observed with the image processing system equipped in the FSM-60S. However, there are some cases when the image processing system cannot detect a faulty splice. Visual inspection with the monitor is often necessary for better splicing yield. Procedure below describes standard operating procedure. (1) Fibers loaded in the splicer move forward toward each

60 Splice Menu Splice Mode Description SM For splicing standard Single-mode fiber (ITU-T G652). The MFD is 9 to 10 um at wavelength of 1310 nm. Automatic arc calibration doesn’t work in this splice mode. NZ For splicing Non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber (ITU-T G655). The MFD is 9 to 10 um at wavelength of 1550 nm. Automatic arc calibration doesn’t work in this splice mode. DS For splicing Dispersion-shifted fiber (ITU-T G653). The MFD is 7 to 9 um at wavelength near 1550 nm. Automatic arc calibration doesn’t work in this splice mode. MM FAS

48 Basic Operation 10. Removing spliced fiber (1) Open lids of tube heater. (2) Open wind protector. (3) Hold left fiber with left hand at the edge of wind protector and open left sheath clamp or fiber holder lid. (4) Open right sheath clamp or fiber holder lid. (5) Hold right fiber with right hand, and remove spliced fiber from the splicer. 11. Heating protection sleeve (1) Transfer fiber with p

110 Questions and Troubleshooting Questions and Troubleshooting 1. Power Supply (1) Power does not turn off when pressing ON/OFF key • Press and hold the key until the LED color changes from green to red. (2) Few splices can be made with a fully charged battery pack • If the power saving function is not enabled, battery power degrades quicker. See page 87 [Machine Settings]. Always enable it to conserve power usage. • If degradation appears (memory effect), or if the battery
