When splicing the MM fiber, there is bubble in the process of arc.
Solutions:
The difference between fiber's core and envelope's refractive index is too big.
Operations as follows:
1.- Consult MM fiber's arc program set by factory (the value of "Fusion
program" is less than 5) and confirm.
2.- Do arc test until "Moderate current" is displayed three times.
3.- Splice MM fiber; if there is bubble then modify arc parameter. Operations
are as follows:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)

Enter the menu of arc parameter.
Increase 1 step size( 10m/s)to the value of "Pre-fusion time".
Splice fiber; increase the value of "Pre-fusion time" until no
bubble.
Decrease the value of "Pre-fusion current" if no bubble and fiber
thins.
