Maintenance
The FSP200 can perform routine maintenance. In “Maintenance”, the operator can calibrate arc, set motor drive, calibrate
motors, adjust screen, replace electrodes, and stabilize electrodes.
Arc Calibration
Used to calibrate arc function to obtain the best splicing results when a splicing session is first started or if the splicing
environment has changed.
1.
Place splicer in Splice Mode #1 (AUTO).
2.
Select “Arc Calibration.”
3.
Prepare and load fibers.
4.
Press OK.
5.
If too low or high, load new fibers.
6.
Press OK.
7.
Repeat steps 1–4 until “arc adjust OK” displays on splicer screen.
Cleaning the Electrodes
It may be necessary to clean the electrodes if the arc calibration fails or if the FSP200 is not splicing properly.
1. Turn splicer off. Remove battery and unplug from AC power.
2. Remove the electrodes and clean the electrodes using the electrode polisher.
3. Insert the electrode tip into the hole of the electrode polisher and gently rotate the electrode.
4. Wipe the electrodes with 99% pure IPA. Do not touch the electrode surface with your fingers. Now is a good time to clean
the objective lens while the electrodes are not in the way.
5. Re-install the electrodes into the splicer.
6. Turn splicer on.
7. Perform an arc calibration to calibrate the power to the electrodes.
Motor Drive
Used to manually control the motors.
1.
Press the arrow keys to move to the selected drive motor.
2.
Press OK to change the speed of the motor.
3.
Press the appropriate arrow key to select the desired motor.
4.
Press the BACK to exit.
Motor Calibration
Used to auto adjust the motor’s position.
1.
Prepare and load left and right fibers.
2.
Press OK and wait for the splicer to automatically calibrate the motor positions.
Screen Adjust
Used to adjust the fiber position when the fibers are displayed outside of the displayed screen boundaries.
1.
Prepare and load left and right fibers.
2.
Press OK and then press the arrow keys to switch between X and Y screen views.
3.
Use the arrow keys to adjust the fiber positions.
4.
Press OK to confirm modification.
5.
Press BACK to exit.
