Replace Electrodes
It is recommended that the electrodes be replaced after 1,000 arc discharges. When the
number of arc discharges reaches a count of 2,000, a message prompting to replace the
electrodes is displayed immediately after turning on the power. Using the electrodes
without a replacement will result in greater splice loss and reduced splice strength. In
certain high strength applications, cleaning the electrodes can be beneficial. Contact
your distributor for information on these applications.
Replacement Procedure
(1) Execute [Replace Electrode] in [Maintenance
Menu 1].
(2) Instruction messages will appear on the screen to
turn off the power. Press and hold Enter key till
the LED color changes from green to red.
(3) Remove the old electrodes.
To remove and replace the electrodes:
(i) Loosen screw located on electrode cover.
(ii) Take electrode out of electrode cover. (Electrode is fit in electrode cover)
(4) Clean the new electrodes with alcohol-impregnated clean gauze or lint-free tissue
and install them in the splicer.
(i) Fit the electrode in the electrode cover.
(ii) Place the electrode cover on the splicer and tighten screw.
• Apply tightening torque of 2kgf-cm when tightening screw to fix electrode
cover.
