Application

Splicing and protection of most common types of SMF and MMF.

EasySplicer mk2 components

The following components are included and standard for splicing in the field:

Item Description Quantity

1 EasySplicer mk2 1

2 Power supply 1

3 Fiber cleaver 1

4 Fiber holders 250μm (black) 1 pair

5 Fiber holders 900μm (blue) 1 pair

6 Fiber holders Loose tube (red) 1 pair

7 Stripper 1

8 Carrying bag 1

Basics

NOTE: The EasySplicer mk2 is a rugged field instrument designed to withstand field

environment. However, to ensure best performance, it is important to keep maintenance as

described later in this manual.

Quick Start!

Turn on the EasySplicer mk2

If available, connect the splicer to a power source.

- The splicer will also start automatically if the power-supply is connected. Simply press

any button to leave charging-mode.

* Make sure that that unit is properly charged if operated by the internal battery-pack.

Charge the unit at least 6-8 hours before using it the first time.

- Turn on the EasySplicer mk2 by pressing down the “ON”-button (large button

below the display).

The splicer starts in “ready-mode” after a few seconds.

* Before beginning to splice it is important to verify that the electrodes are in good

(operational) condition. The electrodes are quite easily oxidized due to

environmental conditions (like dirt in the air and/or moisture). The splicer has

probably been stored for a while and lately in transport.

Such oxide can be cleaned (burned off) by using the “CLEAN ELECTRODES”

function (see also page 21).

Start with a Calibration!

Begin all work with a “Calibrate”. This is needed to adapt the splicer to its present

environment (adapt to temperature, moisture etc.).

Singlemode or Multimode

It´s very important to setup the correct fiber-type in the splicer before doing the

calibration. For ex. Select Singlemode fiber in the “Menu” if You are using a

Singlemode fiber.

- Press the “Menu-button”. Step with the “down-arrow” to “SETUP” and select it by

pressing the large button (SELECT).

- Step with the “down-arrow” to “FIBER TYPE” and select it.

- Chose SINGLEMODE, MULTIMODE or OM1 fiber-type.

Doing the Calibration!

- Strip one fiber which You are about to splice (strip it some 5-6cm).

- Clean the fiber with alcohol, isopropyl or similar. Make sure not to touch the

fiber with anything after cleaning as it will become dirty.

Place the stripped and cleaned fiber across the v-groove (see picture below).

You can see how the calibration should be done in our Video to be found at:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t1bwwrk0i9str6a/AAAKnje_Mvc-_SeXVUH1v0Jva?dl=0

Having placed the fiber in the v-groove enter the “Menu” again and step with “down-arrow”

to CALIBRATE.

Select it (large button) and the splicer will perform a calibration.

This is seen on the display as the splicer will ignite the spark and shine through the fiber

with various strength.

The operation is finished after some 5 seconds and the display will show “OK” if the

Calibration was done properly.

If not, the display will show the text: “CALIBRATE AGAIN”.

Time to splice!

•

Place fiber in the fiber holders (250 fibers in the black holders and 900

fibers/pigtails in the blue holders). The fiber should “stick-out” some 3-4cm.

- Don´t forget to put on a shrink-tube (sleeve) over one of the fiber-ends before You start!

Strip and clean the fiber.

•

Cleave the fiber.

•

Place the fiber holders in the splicer. Push down the bracket which holds the fibers

in place in the v-groove

•

See the operation of the above at page 13-15 and/or watch our Video at:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t1bwwrk0i9str6a/AAAKnje_Mvc-_SeXVUH1v0Jva?dl=0

•

If needed, press “RESET”.

The fiber ends should be seen in the display, a bit like this when ready for splicing:

•

Press the “SPLICE”-button (large button). The fibers will move together and spliced.

The whole process will be shown in the display and take less than 10 sec.

An automatic pull-test will be performed after the splicing.

•

Finally, the splicer will show the estimated splice loss (in dB and in green color) or, if

the process failed, “Bad splice” (if so, re-do the operation from “strip and cleave”

above).

Oven operation – sleeve protection!

•

Open up the oven (with the little arm on the left hand side of the oven).

•

Lift up the bracket over the v-groove and then open up both fiber-holders.

•

Push the shrink-tube over the spliced part and place the fiber/tube in the center of

the oven. Lock the fiber (and close the oven-lid) with the oven-arm.

•

Start the oven by pressing the “OVEN”-button. The oven is preset for a 45sek

operation but can be set in many combinations (see in the Menu-system).

•

The splicer is ready for another splice while the oven is in operation (start from

above again). Press “RESET” if the oven-operation is not needed.

Main menu

Step up/down with the small buttons (UP/DOWN). Select Your choice with the

SELECT-button.

EXIT

Exit from this Menu (back to Splice-mode).

CLEAN ELECTRODES

Run the “CLEAN ELECTRODES”-program to remove dirt/oxide on the

electrodes.

Running this program will ignite an extra powerful spark which will burn

the electrodes clean.

The “CLEAN ELECTRODES” will also be shown automatically in the display

every 10 splices.

Run the program several times (1-3 times) for best result.

But not more than 5 times in a row. Then the splicer needs to cool for a

couple of minutes. If 5 times is not enough the problem is elsewhere.

CALIBRATE

This function shall be used often for automatic environmental

compensation.

This should be done every time the environment changes, for ex. when

starting a new workday, when coming back after lunch, when changing

the type of fiber cable to use.

Performing a Calibration:

- Strip one fiber which You are about to splice (strip it some 5-6cm).

- Clean the fiber with alcohol, isopropyl or similar. Make sure not to touch

the fiber with anything after cleaning as it will become dirty.

Place the stripped and cleaned fiber across the v-groove (see picture below).

You can see how it is performed in our VIDEO to be found at:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t1bwwrk0i9str6a/AAAKnje_Mvc-_SeXVUH1v0Jva?dl=0

Having placed the fiber in the v-groove enter the “Menu” again and step with “down-arrow”

to CALIBRATE.

Select it (large button) and the splicer will perform a calibration.

If AUTO MODE is selected the calibration will start automatically when the lid is closed and

the splicer sees the fiber going all the way.

This is seen on the display as the splicer will ignite the spark and shine through the fiber

with various strength.

The operation is finished after some 10 seconds and the display will show “OK” if the

Calibration was done properly.

If not, the display will show the text: “CALIBRATE AGAIN”.

* The splicer will adjust to the performed calibration with small steps

at every splice but when changing environment this calibration will

be needed (as the Calibration function compensate with many steps

up/down if necessary).

TURN OVEN ON

Use this function to manually run the oven program. Normally, when a

splice is done the oven program will be executed automatically (see

above “Oven operation” page 6).

But under some circumstances You might want to operate the oven

manually.

If so, place a fiber with a shrink-tube (sleeve) in the oven compartment

and press the OVEN-button. The oven will start and run for as long as

the oven time is set (factory preset is 45 sec.)

Change time under “SETUP” and “Oven” below.
