7.9 Motor Drive

This function is used to test if 6 motors of the fusion splicer operate normally.

① Select “Motor Calibration”.

② Touch screen to select motor.

7.10 Update Software

① Select “update software” in “system setting”.
② Connect the USB driver with the copy of upgrade files to the USB port
③ Press “OK”, and then the splicer will process the update automatically. Upon 
completion, the splicer will restart automatically.

③ Touch the icons of L press and R 
press to drive motor, observing if the 
motor can be driven normally.
