USER'S MANUAL. PROLITE-40
10.- Select two pieces of fiber to be spliced and make end-surface.
11.- Raise the windshield and the fiber holder in turn.
12.- Load two pieces of fiber into worktable and close windshield.
13.- Press
in auto working mode, PROLITE-40 will check the quality of fiber's
end-surface, gap, calibrate cursorily, arc automatically, and then correct value of
arc current.
14.- If "Too large fusion current" or "Too small fusion current" is displayed on the
screen, please repeat step 10~13 until "Right fusion current" is displayed. So
test is finished, and arc program will be rectified to be arc program No.6.
NOTE:
1) The selected fiber must be accord with actual fiber. Best to arc test before splicing.
2) Arc test will correct arc position and arc current, so it is normal if gap position
changed after test.
3) During the process of arc test, if "Proper fusion current" is not be displayed on
screen, please do not enter the parameter menu of the arc program.
4) During the process of arc test, if "Right fusion current" doesn't be displayed, to
avoid use less current, do not enter splice program parameter menu.
5) During the process of arc test, "Right fusion current" has definite range; you can
select proper arc current base on actual demand.
6) Arc test is efficient only when electrode is well, so you must check electrode at first.
7) The value of "Fusion program" after arc test mustn't be the best arc parameter due
to consider the factor of "current" only.
8) When pressing
causing errors, don't press

Optimization of arc parameter
Those factory-set arc parameters can satisfy splicing of standard fiber basically.
But in order to obtain the best efficiency, it is necessary to optimize arc parameter.
7.4.1 Optimization of SM fiber arc parameter
You need some instruments to test fiber's loss, for example: lamp-house, OTDR.
The process of optimization of arc parameter is same as process of fusion, you can use
instrument to test loss and change arc parameter properly, until loss is of coherence
and is the smallest. The general principles of optimization of arc parameter are:
