Optical Fusion Splicer Instruction Manual
3.2 Replace Electrodes
Electrode will be abraded in long term using, for used about
5000 times, it is recommended that replace the electrodes to
avoid increase splice loss and decrease the splice strength.
There will be a replacing prompt after over 5000 times, after
replacing, user need to operate “Clean Electrodes”
a
. Press
to power off, and the power indicator light will
extinguish.
b
. Loosen the fixed screw on electrodes cover, take out
electrodes.
c
. Install the new electrodes and its cover, tighten the screw.
d.
Check whether two electrodes are on a horizontal plane, if not,
install the electrodes once again.
e.
Power on, and load the fiber into splicer, in “Maintenance”
menu to operate “ARC Calibration”.
f.
After replacing electrodes, in “History Records” menu execute
“Reset ARC Counter”.
g.
After finishing above step, do “Detect System Parameters”.
4. Detect System Parameters
This function can detect relevant main parameters of the fusion
Splicer.
Strongly suggest:
Run Detect System Parameters Under the
below circumstance, otherwise the splice result will be
influenced.
Program upgraded
Replace or move the electrodes
Fusion splice is transported in long distance or shake
