Introduction
Thank you for choosing Mini 22A FTTx Master from FiberFox. The Mini 22A with innovative design
and excellent manufacturing technology gives customers assurance of trust.
Exceptional splicing experience and new technology greatly reduces splicing and heating time.
Advanced estimate method and clad alignment technique ensure the accuracy of the splice loss
estimation. Its small size, compact design and reliable protective casing make it suitable for any
operating environment. Dynamic operation interface and automatic splice mode give the custom-
ers great user-friendliness. For more information, please contact your local distributor or visit our
website at www.fiberfox.co.kr
This manual explains the features, specifications, operation, maintenance and warnings about Mini
22A. The primary goal of this manual is to make the user very familiar with the splicer operation.

[Stabilize Electrodes]
In the event of sudden change in environmental conditions or after cleaning electrodes, the arc power
sometimes becomes unstable, resulting in higher splice loss. This is especially a concern when the
splicer is moved from lower altitudes to higher , it takes time for the arc power to stabilize. In this case,
stabilizing electrodes will expedite the process to normalize the arc power. If many tests are required
to get the “Test ok” message appearing the [Arc calibration], use this function as well.
[Arc Calibration]
Atmospheric conditions such as temperature, humidity, and pressure are constantly changing, which
creates variability in the arc temperature. This splicer is equipped with temperature and pressure
sensors that are used in a constant feedback monitoring control system to regulate the arc power
at a constant level. However, changes in arc power due to electrode wear and glass adhesion cannot
be automatically corrected. Also, the center position of arc discharge sometimes shifts to the left or
to the right. In this case, the fiber splicing position has to be shifted in relation to the arc discharge
center. It is necessary to perform an arc power calibration to eliminate these problems.
Note : Performing [Arc calibration] function changes the arc power “Factor” value. The factor value is
used in the algorithm program for all splicing. The arc power value will not change in the splice modes.
Standard Factor value is changed within 11 ± 2, It shows “Complete” word. otherwise, it shows
*
“Retry” which means failure arc test, User needs to reload the optic fiber, retry arc calibration test.
