7.2 Stabilize Electrodes
In the event of sudden change in environmental conditions, especially when the
splicer is moved from lower altitudes to higher altitudes, the arc power may become
unstable, resulting in higher splice loss. In such case, it takes time for arc power to
be stabilized. In this case, stabilizing electrodes will expedite the process to set the
arc power stable. If many tests are needed until the “Operation Complete” message
appears in [Arc calibration], use this function as well.
Operation Procedure
① Select [Stabilize electrodes].
② Press the [SET] button, and the splicer will begin to stabilize the electrodes
automatically by repeating arc discharge five times to precisely measure the arc
position.(During electrode stabilizing, please do not place the fibers or it will affect
the electrode accuracy.)
7.3 Diagnostic Test
has a built-in diagnostic test function that allows the user to evaluate
several critical variable parameters with only one simple step. Perform this function
in case of splicer operation fault.
Operation Procedure
① Select [Diagnostic Test] in [Maintenance Menu]
⑤ We recommend all users to do stabilizing electrodes and arc calibration after
electrodes replacing to keep good splice results and splice strength (Details are
described below).
