6.5.2 ARC TEST
Swift KF4 measures by ARC TEST menu if arc power is adequate. When arc power is too weak or too strong it is
automatically adjusted by executing ARC CALIBRATION menu.
Only SM fi ber should be used for arc calibration.

CALIBRATION
To display splice mode, press and select the “CALIBRATION” menu with the button. The calibration
menu is equipped with various functions, such as arc amount calibration, motor operation test, etc.
6.5.1 ARC CALIBRATION
The KF4 continuously checks for a change in temperature and air pressure through each sensor. Based on such
data, arc amount is automatically adjusted. However, a change in arc amount due to abrasion of the electrodes
or the fi ber splice, is not automatically adjusted. The central axis of the arc can also be moved toward the left or
right. In this case, arc calibration is required.
When executing arc calibration, arc voltage is automatically changed to a proper value. This value is calculated
internally. The arc voltage cannot arbitrarily be changed.
Only SM fi ber should be used for arc calibration.

CALIBRATION
To display splice mode, press
and select the “CALIBRATION” menu with the
button. The calibration menu is equipped with various functions, such as arc amount calibration,
motor operation test, etc.
6.5.1 Arc calibration
The KF4 continuously checks for a change in temperature and air pressure through each sensor.
Based on such data, arc amount is automatically adjusted. A change in arc amount due to
abrasion of the electrodes or the fiber splice, however, is not automatically adjusted. The central
axis of the arc can also be moved toward the left or right. In this case, arc calibration is required.
- When executing arc calibration, arc voltage is automatically changed to a proper value. This
value is calculated internally; the arc voltage cannot arbitrarily be changed.
- Only SM fiber should be used for arc calibration.
