Q-41S-E01
Error Message Reason Solution
Too Long Fiber
• The Cleave length (bare fiber
part) is too long.
• Dust or dirt is on the objective
lens cover.
• Cleave by forcing a holder tip of fiber cutting, and
pressing to a position.
• Execute the [Dust Check]. Clean the lens cover
when dust or dirt exists.
Too Dusty Fiber
• Dust or dirt is on the fiber
surface.
• Dust or dirt is on the objective
lens cover.
• [Cleaning Arc] time is too short
or “OFF”.
• Prepare the fiber again.
• Execute the [Dust Check]. Clean the lens cover
when dust or dirt exists.
• Set the [Cleaning Arc] time. When splicing carbon
coated fibers, set to more time.
ZL/ZR Motor
Overrun
• The fiber is correctly at the
bottom of the V-groove.
• The Cleave length (bare fiber
part) is too short.
• Press RESET, and set the fiber again to seat it
correctly at the bottom of the V-groove.
• Cleave by forcing a holder tip of fiber cutting, and
pressing to a position. Check the fiber length.
Large Cleave Angle
• Bad fiber end-face.
• [Cleave Limit] is set too low.
• Check the condition of the fiber cleaver. If the blade
is worn, rotate the blade to a new position.
• Increase the [Cleave Limit] to an adequate Limit.
Cleave Shape NG • Bad fiber end-face.
• Check the condition of the fiber cleaver. If the blade
is worn, rotate the blade to a new position.

“Arc discharge is not stable. Electrodes should be stabilized to reform the arc discharge.”
・Load prepared SM fibers onto splicer in order to stabilize electrodes. After completeing it, re-splice fibers.
・When an altitude changes drastically, stabilizing elctrodes must be excecuted before splicing.
• Make sure the stripped fiber is
free of coating debris or
contamination.
• Use only 99% or better purity
alcohol.
• Do not allow the cleaved fiber
ends to touch anything or
become contaminated.
• Place the fiber end between
V-groove edge and Electrode
center.

AC Adapter
Battery Pack
Sheet Key Operation
Power Supply
・Charging an internal battery pack “BTR-11” is started
・Keep below practices to prevent battery damage.
Fully charge the battery after every use.
Follow bellow conditions.
Operation : -10 degree C to 50 degree C
Charging : 0 degree C to 40 degree C
Storage : -20 degree C to 50 degree C
How to recharge battery
How to check remaining capacity
・If splicer is already equipped with the battery, turn
splicer ON. Power source of "Battery" is automatically
identified and the remaining battery capacity is
displayed on the "READY" screen.
Confirm power saving function is working when using
battery pack.
When LED blink at the time of charge is early,
degradation of a battery and failure can be
considered. Charge is not performed.
Exchange for New BTR-11.
ADC-19A
AC power cord
・Input power : AC100-240V, 50-60Hz
・Use only supplied AC power cord.
・When using an AC power generator,
check output voltage periodically with
a circuit tester.
Insert AC cord into the AC inlet of the AC adapter. The power ON LED of the AC
adapter changes green color when suitable AC voltage is supplied.
If high AC Voltage is supplied, AC adapter will immediately be damaged.
