6.6.1 Electrode stabilizing
Discharge amount can sometimes become unstable due to surroundings and consequently, the
splice loss may increase. As it takes a long time to stabilize discharge amount when the sealer is
located low or high, it is particularly important to wait for the electrode inside the case to be
stabilized. After replacing electrode, in particular, its stabilizing should be conducted without fail.
i.
Put a prepared optical fiber on sealer.
ii.
Select “Electrode stabilizing” by touching it.
iii.
Press “OK”.
iv.
Discharge is conducted 30 times in a row for electrode stabilizing.
v.
When stabilizing completes, it displays the screen below.
