Introduction
The EasySplicer PRO incorporates all the best a Swedish designed Fusion splicer can
offer.
NOTE: EasySplicer PRO is a high precision instrument and should always be handled
with care

Application
Splicing and protection of most common types of SMF and MMF.
EasySplicer PR components
The following components are included and standard for splicing in the field:
Item Description Quantity
1 EasySplicer PRO 1
2 Power supply 1

Basics
NOTE: The EasySplicer 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 n the EasySplicer PR
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 PRO by pressing down the “ON”-symbol
The splicer “beeps” and starts in “ready-mode” after a few seconds.
Automatic Calibration !
When starting up the unit calibrates itself automatically in regards to air-pressure
and temperature.
Should You encounter problems when splicing (i.e. bad splice and/or no splice)
then calibrate the unit manually (see chapter 4.2 Calibration).
Electrodes !
* Before beginning to splice You should verify that the electrodes are in good
(operational) condition.
Check the electrodes as the splicer probably has been stored for a while and lately
been in transport.
If needed clean the electrodes as described in section X by using the “CLEAN
ELECTRODES” function (see page 21).
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 arrows to the “Menu-button” and select it)
- Move with the arrow-buttons around in the display and select the “Para-function”
with the “Enter-button”
- Select the “Para-mode” and chose the suitable Cable-type/program (select with
the “Enter-button”).
For simplicity we recommend You to use the following programmes only:
Prog 0 Auto/SM-SM For Singlemode
Prog 1 Auto/MM-MM For Multimode
There are a total of 40 programmes in the list but most are to be used with
special settings and special cables.
There is no need to use most of them unless You are sure of the purpose of the
individual programmes. Please contact our support if You have any
questions/comments.
Time to splice!
Place 250 fiber in the black holders ,900 fiber/pigtail in the blue holders and the 900
loose coat/loose tube in the red holders.The fiber should “stick-out” some 3-4cm (as seen
in the pictures).
5
- Don´t forget to put on a shrink-tube (sleeve) over one of the fiber-ends before You start
* Strip and clean the fiber (for detailed instructions see page 15)
* Place the fiberholders in the cleaver and cleave the fiber.
* Place the fiber holders in the splicer.
Make sure that the fiber ends are being
placed in the V-Grove (both left, right).
Close the lid of the Splicer and the EasySplicer PRO will move together the fibers
and splice them together automatically. The whole process will be shown in the
display (live video from both X/Y cameras) 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) or, if the process failed, “Bad splice” (if so, re-do the
operation from “strip and cleave” above).
ven operation – sleeve protection!
Open up the oven (with the lifting arms –left/right on the lid).
Open the main lid and open the lids of the fiberholders. The newly spliced fiber is
ready to be moved.
Lift out the fiber gently and move the shrink-tube (sleeve) in place over the spliced
area. Place the shrink-tube in the oven according to its size.
6
Close the oven lid and the oven operation will start automatically.
The oven is default set for 30 seconds.
The splicer is ready for another splice while the oven is in operation (simply start the
above process again).
Basic peration
The EasySplicer PRO is handled and controlled with the keypad. All selected
parameters will be shown on the Display.

Step up/down with the arrow-keys and select Your choice with the Enter-button.
Go back with the Menu-button (nr 4).
Select immediate, manual, operations on the keypad on the right hand side,
for ex. force splicing and oven operation.
Switch between the cameras with the X/Y-button.

Clean electrodes
If You are getting continuous “bad splices” it might be a good idea to try to
clean the electrodes (dirt is always in the air and for ex. moisture can oxidize
the electrodes making the spark weaker so it can´t melt the fiber-glass
properly).
- Open up the main lid and press the ARC-button one time to enable the
“clean electrodes function (takes a few second for the splicer to adjust).
Then press the ARC-button repeatedly 3-5 times.
The spark should be a straight fine line of light going between the electrodes
and it should be barely soundless.
N TICE, don´t try to touch or interfere with the spark as it can cause
significant injuries which are very hard to heal/treat. Always operate the
EasySplicer PRO with cautiousness
Calibrate
The EasySplicer PRO is continuously calibrating the strength of the spark in
accordance with the surrounding environment (temperature and airpressure).
It can happen that the weather situation changes very fast (from for ex. sunny
to rainy) and under such conditions it will be of good use to calibrate the unit
manually before starting to splice.
Performing a Calibration:
- Make sure You have the correct fiber-type selected (SM/MM). See below
“Para”-setting, page 17.
- Strip, clean and cleave one fiber from each side (left/right) and place in their
fiberholders. Then place them in the splicer.
- Always 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).
- Press the “Menu button” and select “ARC”.
- The unit will reset for this operation (Arc Calibration will be shown in top of
the display).
- Press the “Enter button” and the unit will perform the calibration.
9
Successful Calibration
- Simply redo the above steps if the unit is unsuccessful with the operation.
You can see a full calibration video at:
Oven operation
Use the HEAT function to manually run the oven program. Normally, when a
splice is done the oven program will be executed automatically.
-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 HEAT-button. The oven will start and the red-LED will lit.
The oven will run for as long as the oven time is set (factory preset is 30 sec.)
Change oven-time (and other heating parameters) in the “Menu”, in the
section “Heat”.
Use the “up/down” buttons to move around and the “left/right” buttons to
change values. Step out from this menu with the “menu”-button.
