Tips
Once you enter the Pass Code, you can access the
administrator menu without re-entry of the Pass Code unless
you turn off the power. If you turn off the power and turn it on
again, the operator menu is displayed.
4: In administrator menu, you can
change extra items of splice
programs and heating programs
as described next few pages what
are not appeared in normal menu.
About changing items, please refer

<Fusion Time>
Fusion time is the duration of arc discharge. (Numerical input)
<Prefusion Time>
Pre-fusion time is the time in seconds the fiber ends wait after the arc discharge begins
before beginning the overlap (feed). (Numerical input)
<Arc Gap>
Arc gap is the distance between the left and right fibers before fusion takes place.
(Numerical input)
<Over Lap>
1/5
Overlap is the amount of overlap between the left and right fibers that occurs when the
right fiber is fed forward during the arc fusion. (Numerical input)
<Arc Power>
Expressed in a unit-less step value as [Standard +XX]. Arc power controls the amount of
heat the fibers are exposed to during the fusion arc. As the power is automatically set
after an arc test and compensated at every splices, normally an operator does not need
to change it manually. Standard means compensated arc power of the splice program,
and added value can be manually set by operator. (Numerical input)
<Staying Time>
Staying time is the duration from the end of overlap to the beginning of pulling. Only for
Fiber pulling splice. (Numerical input)
<Fiber Pulling>
Fiber pulling is the amount of pulling the fiber back after overlap. (Numerical input)
<Arc Center>
2/5
Arc center is the position of the arc center. Usually it is set automatically by the splicer.
(Numerical input)

<Splice Select>
Select the splice mode from Automatic, Manual and Quick. (Icon selection)
Automatic APDS is used and automatic splice is performed.
Manual Splice is performed by manual operation with key pad.
Quick APDS is not performed. Inspections are simplified and automatic splice is
performed.
<Align Method>
Select the fiber aligning method from Core, Diameter, AIAS, ATTN and Adaptive.
(Icon selection)
Core Aligns the left and right fibers by the center of their cores.
Diameter Aligns the left and right fibers by their outer diameters.
AIAS Signifies Automatic Intentional Axis Shift. 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.
Note: If AIAS is selected, arc parameters cannot be changed.
ATTN Signifies Attenuation. Fibers are spliced by shifting the centers of the left
and right fiber cores to achieve intentional high splice losses. Before ATTN splice, set
the target attenuation (splice loss) and the adjustment factor. Change the adjustment
factor so that a yielded splice loss matches the target attenuation..
Adaptive is the alignment method mainly for BIF. It is used in splicing optical fiber
with complicated core profiles.
<Est. Loss Limit>
If the higher estimated splice loss than this value is measured, the splicer warns on the
screen. (Numerical input)
<Clv. Angle Limit>
3/5
If the larger cleave angle than this value is measured, the splicer warns on the screen.
(Numerical input)
<HDCM>
Monitors and inspects fiber core with high precision. You can select ON or OFF.
Normally ON is desirable. OFF is set for specialty fiber splicing. (Icon selection)
<Splice ID Name>
Each splice condition name can be changed from the initial factory setting to a name that
is more meaningful to the user. Please refer to page 7 regarding how to change the
splice ID name. (Text input)
<Fiber Detection>
4/5
Automatic fiber detection function. ON/OFF (Icon selection) Please refer to page 8.
<Arc image Compensation>
This function compensates arc power to an optimum level for the arc condition.
Set "Arc Environment Compensation" to ON to enable this function. (Icon selection)
<Arc Environment Compensation>
5/5
This function compensates arc power to an optimum level for the environmental
condition. (Icon selection)

Duration of the first term of heating cycle. (Numerical input)
<Heat Up Temp. B>
Heating element rise up to the set temperature in the middle term of heating cycle.
(Numerical input)
<Heating Duration B>

Duration of the middle term of heating cycle. (Numerical input)
<Heat Finish Temp>
The temperature of finishing heating cycle after cooling by the fan. (Numerical input)

APDS: Auto fiber profiling check and Detection System
The splicer automatically analyzes optical fiber type to be spliced from fiber image,
compares the analyzed splice program to the selected splice program and displays the
result on a screen. This system prevents splice program and fiber type from being
miss-selected. When the analyzed fiber type is different from the set fiber type, the
result screen appears and the splicer stops.
Fiber types that can be analyzed are typically SMF, MMF, DSF/NZDS and BIF.
The right and left fibers are analyzed individually.
If a fiber profile cannot be identified, the splicer displays OTHER.

Note: The TYPE-81C fusion splicer stores the profiling information of representative
fiber types. Therefore the splicer could make miss-analysis on a different
manufacturers or new fiber types. With regard to profiling data customization and the
modification of fiber types, contact our maintenance service center or sales personnel.
Tips
The background of the splice program that is registered is shown in blue and
highlighted in green when selected.
The background of the splice program that is NOT registered is shown in black and the
text is highlighted in red when selected.
Not all splice programs are registered in the initial factory settings. If you would like to
use some other splice programs, you can register in the Administrator menu.
