ARC CALIBRATION
The arc calibration is the variation of temperature,
humidity and air pressure has been detected by
internal sensors continuously. Based on such a
variation, supply a feedback data into the monitor-
ing system to adjust an arc power a constant level.
Additionally the changes in arc power due to the
abrasion of the electrode and glass
adhesion are not automatically calibrated. Also, the
center axis of arc discharge may be moved to left or
right. Thus the fiber splicing position is not matched
to arc discharge center. For this reason, Arc calibra-
tion is required.
Arc calibration is a function to change the value of arc
discharge voltage. It is used for the computation
program for splicing. In addition, the calibration value of
arc discharge cannot be changed in the splice mode. For
the purpose of Arc calibration, �� core or � core single
mode fibers are used.
� Place the SM fiber to splicer.
� Click .
� Result similar to the picture above is displayed on the
screen when measuring is completed.
� The calibration can be stopped by pressing
even if it has not completed.
The tip of the fiber should be removed after
[arc calibration]. Otherwise, it may cause serious
damage to the stripper blade.
