Yamasaki’s Y90 fusion splicer is equipped with a liquid crystal display, it is a
sophisticated accessory produced in a strict quality controlled factory
environment. Nevertheless, there will be some black, red, blue, and green dots
on the screen. The brightness of the display will be different from various view
angles.
Please note: These symptoms are not a deficiency of the LCD monitor!
6
2. Basic operation
The Yamasaki Y90 fusion splicer is designed
for fusing many types of fiber by using core
alignment rationale. It is a compact,
light weight splicer, which makes it suitable for
field work. It is simple to operate, fusion speed
is high, and fusion loss is low.
2．
．1 Descriptions of the power modules
The Yamasaki Y90 fusion splicer uses a 2 in 1 power module design. The
Y90 fusion splicer can use the polymer lithium ion battery separately or use
the AC adapter for electricity supply. When the AC adapter is used for power
supply the polymer lithium ion battery is charged automatically. The Lithium
battery needs to be the same make and model if it needs to be replaced.
Disclaimer:
Yamasaki Optical Technology does not assume any liability for
damage caused by the use of a non- original battery.
A valid ground three-hole socket must be used when AC/DC adaptor
has access to AC 220V 50H power.
7
2．
．2 AC operation
2.2.1 The power supply of the Yamasaki Y90 consists of a power supply,
charger and lithium battery. When using AC power supply, the AC/DC
adapter supplied by Yamasaki Optical Technology should be used. The
basic parameters of the adapter are as follows:

INPUT: AC100-240V～1.8A 50/60HZ
OUTPUT: DC13.5V ⁄ 4.8A
2.2.2 The AC/DC adapter will not be able to supply normal DC output if the
input AC voltage is lower than 100V or higher than 240V.
In this case, the DC output line of the adapter must not be inserted into
“POWER INPUT “specified on the power module of the Y90 fusion
splicer, otherwise it will result in damage to the Y90 fusion splicer.
Use of lithium battery is recommended in this instance.
2.2.3 As and when the lithium battery is in the battery case, the battery pack
will be charged whilst connected to power. However, it is
recommended that the Y90 fusion splicer be off when being charged.
8
2．
．3 Battery supply operation
The user may choose to use the polymer lithium battery in the splicer to
supply power to the Y90 fusion splicer.
2.3.1 Checking battery capacity
When the battery is not being charged, press the "PUSH" button on the
side of the battery.
Then the four battery capacity indicator (red) lights on the left hand side
will light up.
The number lights represents the fullness or lowness of the battery.
See the table below.
When the power module is fully charged, the four battery capacity
indicator (red) lights on the left hand side will be on, which only
represents the fullness of the current charge voltage, but the real capacity
of the battery will only be 80%.
Battery capciy ≥80% Battery capciy ≥60% Battery capciy≥40% Battery capciy≥15% Battery capciy≤10%
Battery Voltage 12.2V Battery Voltage 11.8V Battery Voltage 11.4V Battery Voltage 11V Battery Voltage <11V
● The lights are bright О The lights are bright
The capacity level of battery is as follows: (when you press the Push
button on the power module): Notes: the capacity of the built-in
polymer lithium battery of the power module: 11.1V.
9
2.3.2 Battery charging
When the battery is low, the AC power adapter needs to be inserted
into “POWER INPUT “on the Y90 fusion splicer power module, to
enable the power module to start charging again.
During the charging process, the charging indicator light is red; after
the charging is completed, the charging indicator will be green.
The maximum charging time is 3 hours 40 minutes, and the shortest is
40 minutes, whilst the splicer is off. The length of the charging time
depends on the current battery capacity of the splicer.
If the splicer is charged when it is on, the charging time is longer. The
user is recommended to charge the battery when the splicer is off,
shortening the charging time.
2.3.3 Under Voltage alarm (battery powered)
The Y90 fusion splicer has a “low voltage alarm” function. When the
lithium battery power is below a certain value (this value is set at the
factory and is about 10.3V), the Y90 fusion splicer screen will display
the “low battery” warning. At this point the operator should use the
power adaptor provided and charge the lithium battery at the same time.
Otherwise the splicer will shut down automatically after about 30
seconds.
10
2.3.4 The other considerations
The Y90 fusion splicer battery is a consumable item and has a safe
service life. It should not be charged for more than 5 hours and should
not be left unattended when being charged.
The lithium battery must be used in a normal environment and charged
in temperatures ranging between 0℃～40℃.
The battery should be kept away from heat, moisture, high pressure
and high electrostatic environments to avoid damage.
The voltage and appearance of the battery should be checked once
every 2 to 3 months and needs a thorough charge and arc once in
every six months.
In cases where the charging and discharging time is significantly
shorter (perhaps only half the time of normal use or shorter) or when
there is obvious bulging, do not use the battery and return to the
distributor immediately for further inspection and maintenance.
The battery should be stored in a clean, dry and ventilated indoor
environment of temperatures ranging –5℃～＋35℃ and humidity of
65±20％RH.
It is prohibited to put the battery into a fire, to prevent battery from
exploding. It is also prohibited to dismantle the battery.
11
2.4 Turn on and turn off

from green to red, release the button . When all of the motors return to
the initial position, the screen shows the startup menu.
Turn off
Press button on the operator panel until the LED indicator turns from
red to green, release the button. The splicer is now turned off.
2.5 Display brightness control
Whilst the LCD brightness determines power consumption, the user can
adjust the display brightness to suit the environment they are working in for
easier use of the Y90 fusion splicer.
Move the cursor to the [Settings] window of the Y90 fusion splicer using
, and press to enter the window.

If the display brightness is not set too high the life of the lithium
battery will be extended.
2.6 Using a heat shrink sleeve
Before you start your splice ensure you put a heat shrink sleeve on the fiber
as shown in the figure below. This cannot be done after the splice is made!
13
2.7 Preparation of fiber end-face
2.7.1 Open the big and small clips of the Y17 cleave tool; push the sliding
plate installed with blade from the end to the front. This will
automatically open the fiber catch bin.
2.7.2 Use the fiber strippers provided to strip the fiber coating, the length of
which should be 30-40 mm. Use wipes with alcohol or absorbent
cotton soft enough to wipe the fiber clean with. Do this procedure
only once. Do not clean it with the same cloth for the second time.
(Notes: Please use isoproply alcohol with purity of more than 99%.)

Notes:
The temperature range for the heater of the Y90 fusion splicer is
100～200℃. To avoid damages to the heating device due to improper
operation, it is suggested to heat below 200℃. The heater may burn out if
continuously working in 200℃ for more than 100 seconds.

3.2.4 [Arc Calibration]
The temperature , humidity and barometric pressure are always changing.
The Y90 fusion splicer is equipped with a temperature and barometric
sensor. The amount of change in temperature can be transmitted in real
time to the control system ensuring the arc intensity remains balanced.
Electrodes wear and glass adhesion may result in changes in arc power.
Also, the center position of arc discharge sometimes shifts to the left or
right. In this case, it is necessary to perform an arc calibration to eliminate
these problems. [Arc Calibration] of this machine has the function to test
the current arc intensity and revises it into the standard intensity.
Arc calibration is divided into two steps:
Step 1 “Arc1 correction”, Step 2 “Arc2 correction ”
In the “Splice Menu”, press to move the cursor to [Arc Calibration];
after the fiber is prepared and arranged, press to enter the interface
of “Step I of discharge calibration”; and press to show the menu or
press to start automatically . Discharge calibration starts from “Step

I of discharge calibration”. See the following picture.
Step I of discharge calibration
29
If “Step I Arc calibration” displays as “not completed”, then “Step II Arc
calibration” will not start. However, auto current setting has started and
been memorized by the machine; the operator is required to follow the
prompts and continue to prepare until completed. “Step II of discharge
calibration” will automatically start as soon as “Step I of discharge
calibration” is completed. See the following picture.
Step II of discharge calibration
The operator should repeatedly prepare the fiber so that the Y90 fusion
splicer can achieve auto discharge calibration, until the Y90 fusion splicer
indicates that “Step II of discharge calibration completed”, which means the
process of discharge calibration (Step 1 and Step 2) is finished. After three
consecutive completions of the “Step II of discharge calibration”, the Y90
fusion splicer automatically exits from the discharge calibration interface
and enters “Splice Menu” operation interface. The screen of “discharge
calibration completed”
30
Note: To ensure high quality of splice, further calibration is strongly
recommended, calibration should be completed 3 times, that is
“Step II of discharge calibration completed” message displayed
three times; at this time, the discharge calibration interface will
automatically exit. This will provide the best Arc intensity and
splicing position.
3.2.5 [Splice Options] operation
The [Splice Options] window allows for a number of important
options for Fusion Splicing.
In the “Splice Mode” menu, press to select [Splice Options]
window, then press to enter, and then the “Operation Options”

menu is displayed. See the following pictures.
“Operation
31
Options” menu
Descriptions of the parameters:
If “Auto Start” is set to "ON", splicing starts automatically as
soon as the wind protector is closed. Fibers should be prepared
and placed into the splicer in advance. When set to “OFF” the
Auto Start
fiber will be pushed into view automatically when the wind
protector is closed and you will need to push the
button to start.
If "Pause1” is set to “ON”, splicing operation pauses when fibers
Pause1 are forwarded to gap-set position. Cleave angles are displayed
during the pause.
If “Pause 2” is set to "ON", splicing operation pauses after fiber

Pause2 alignment is completed. The operator can see the offset of the
fiber core and the offset of the clad at the same time
Operation Options Others:
If “Automatic start” is set to "ON", the “Auto Fiber Forward”

setting is inactive, and splicing starts automatically as soon as
the wind protector is closed. If “Auto Start” is set to "OFF", then
there are two functions: if the setting of “Auto Fiber Forward” is
active, press , the fiber forwards and splicing starts
Auto Fiber Forward automatically as soon as the wind protector is closed; if the
setting of “Auto Fiber Forward” is inactive, the fiber forwards
automatically as soon as the wind protector is closed;
press , splicing starts automatically.
Error message is displayed if the cleaved end face of either left

Bad Cleaved Endface
or right fiber exceeds the selected threshold .
32
The re-arcing process sometimes improves the splice loss, but

Max.Number of sometimes worsens it. Re-arcing decreases the splice strength.
Re-arc With this function, it is possible to limit the number of re-arcs or
to disable re-arc discharge.
Set“Auto Reset”to“off” , after splicing and loss displayed,
open the windshield, press to
make machine reset. Then set the “Auto Reset”
Reset after splice
to“on”, after splicing and loss displayed, open the windshield,
machine will reset automatically.
