| Error message | Description and measure |
| Alignment Error (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] There is dust in the V-groove. There is dust on the fiber. [Measure] Clean the V-groove. Re-cleave the fiber. |
| Brightness Error Brightness Various Error LED error | [Description] The splicer failed in LED brightness adjustment. [Measure] Clean the LED, the mirror protection glass and the microscope lens. |
| CAMERA ERROR | [Measure] Turn off the power and turn it on again. If the error still persists, contact our maintenance service center. |
| Cut Error (Angle) (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] The cleave angle exceeds the allowable level. [Measure] Re-cleave the fiber. |
| Cut Error (Crack) (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] The splicer detected crack in an end-face inspection [Measure] Re-cleave the fiber. |
| Cut Error (LIP) (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] The splicer detected lip in an end-face inspection [Measure] Re-cleave the fiber. |
| Cut Error (Projection) (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] The splicer detected projection in an end-face inspection [Measure] Re-cleave the fiber. |
| DEVICE ERROR | [Description] The controlboard has a problem. [Measure] Please contact our maintenance service center. |
| Diameter Check Error (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] The spicer failed in image processing and the fiber diameter was not analyzed. [Measure] Place the fiber in the V-groove again. |
| Dust Error (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] There is dust or dirt on the fiber. [Measure] Re-cleave the fiber. |
| End Check Error (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] The spicer failed in image processing and the fiber end was not analyzed. [Measure] Place the fiber in the V-groove again. |
| Fiber Check Error (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] The fiber is not placed in the V-groove properly. [Measure] Place the fiber in the V-groove again. |
| Fiber Count Error (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] The number of the fiber being spliced is different from the settings. [Measure] Check that the number of the fiber being spliced matches with the settings. |
| Fiber Pitch Error (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] The fiber pitch exceeds the allowable level. [Measure] Place the fiber into the V-groove again. |
| Gap Error Irregularity Error (L)(R)(LR) | [Description] The irregularity of the fiber end exceeds the allowable level. [Measure] Recleave the fiber. |
| Hood Open Error | [Description] The hood is not closed completely. [Measure] Close the hood completely. |
| Initialize Error (L)(R) | [Description] The motor failed in returning to the initial position. [Measure] Check to see if any foreign material such as fiber coating residue around and in the fiber stage. Turn it off and turn it on again. |

| Splice Error (Splice) (Thin) (Thick) (Neck) (Bubble) | [Description] The spliced portion has a problem. Thin 1) The irregularity of the fiber end is high. 2) The Overlap value is low. 3) The arc power is strong. Thick 1) The irregularity of the fiber end is high. 2) The Overlap value is high. 3) The arc power is weak. Bubble Fiber irregularity or fiber end face problem. Neck Fiber irregularity or fiber end face problem. [Measure] Perform an arc test again to adjust arc power. Please check that the arc parameter such as Fusion time, Prefusion time, Overlap, and etc. has correct values. Re-arcing will sometimes resolve the problem. |
