Put the fibre directly on the V-groove (V-shaped
groove) without fibre head (see image) and shut the fibre
clamp.
Once the fibre is on the V-groove (V-shaped groove) enter
the “Main menu” and go to the “CALIBRATE” option. Select
this option and the fusion splicer will start calibrating.
The screen will show how the electric arc generates and
goes through the fibre.
After around 10 seconds, the operation will come to an
end. If the calibration was performed correctly, the screen
will display “OK”. Otherwise, the screen will display the fo-
llowing text: “CALIBRATE AGAIN”.
NOTE: The fusion splicer will adjust to the calibration values
in small steps after each splicing operation. However, after
any environment changes, new calibration is required.
If the “Auto mode” function inside the “Settings” sub-menu
is activated, you will be able to introduce one single fibre,
and the calibration process will start automatically just by
shutting the cover.
5.3 Turning the oven on
This function is used to manually run the oven’s program-
me. The oven’s programme is usually executed automati-
cally when a fusion is carried out (see previous page “Oven
operation”), but under some circumstances you may wish
to operate the oven, occasionally. If so, put the heat-shrink
tubing in the oven compartment and push “TURN OVEN
ON” in the menu. The oven will start working for the pro-
grammed duration (factory settings: 60 s. To change the
duration, see section 6.3, “Oven”).
5.4 Settings
The settings menu displays the following functions (see
section 6, “Configuration”, for further details):
Fibre selection
Set time
Oven
Language
Fibre position
Electrodes
Auto mode
Start cleaning
Pause fusion
5.5 Information
It shows different kinds of information about the fusion
splicer.
*Electrode cleaning counter: Indicates the number of fu-
sions carried out so far without the electrodes having
been cleaned (this number is reset once the electrodes are
cleaned).
*Electrode counter: Indicates the number of fusions ca-
rried out using the current electrodes (it resets when the
function “ELECTRODES CHANGED” in menu “ELECTRODES”
is executed).
* Total fusions counter: Indicates the total number of fu-
sions performed by the fusion splicer.
