(5) Turn on the power, prepare and load fibers into
the splicer and press Enter key. After executing
the arc calibration, the splicer will repeat arc
discharge 45 times in succession to stabilize the
electrodes.
(6) Upon completion of repeated arc discharge, the
splicer executes an arc calibration again. The
operator should repeat arc calibration until the
“Test Finish” message appears. For details of the
arc calibration process, see page 84.
2. Stabilize Electrodes
In the event of sudden change in environmental conditions, etc., the arc power
sometimes becomes unstable, resulting in higher splice loss. Especially when the splicer
is moved from lower altitudes to higher altitudes, it takes time for the arc power to
stabilize. In this case, stabilizing electrodes will expedite the process of making the arc
power stable. If many tests are needed until the “Test OK” message appears in [Arc
Calibration], use this function as well.
Operation Procedure
(1) Select the [Stabilize Electrodes].
(2) Set prepared fibers in both sides of the splicer as in the case of splicing.
(3) Press Enter key and the splicer begins to stabilize the electrodes in the following
ways:
• Repeats short arc discharge four times to measure the arc position.
• Performs [Arc calibration] to calibrate the arc power.
• Perform 45-cycle continuous discharge to stabilize the electrodes.
(4) After completing stabilization, always perform an additional [Arc Calibration].
3. Clear Arc Count
This function enables the stored number of arc discharges to be reset.
(1) Select the [Clear Arc Count].
(2) As the confirmation screen “Is it OK to clear?” appears, press Enter key to clear.
•This function is included in the [Replace Electrodes] function.
•The number of arc discharges in the “Total Arc Count” field displayed on the
[Maintenance Info.] screen cannot be reset.
