During the arc discharge, the fiber feeding motors of the NJ001
fusion splicer remain idle, preventing the fiber ends from butting.
As a result, the fiber ends melt back.
The arc check function inspects how far the fibers melt back and the
centered position of the fiber. If the arc check results are good, the
message “RESULT: OK” is displayed in the pop-up window. Press
OK to return to the Menu screen.
If the results are negative, “RESULT: NG Try again” is displayed.
Press Retry and the machine will automatically adjust the arc power,
and then return to the Menu screen.

If result is NG, repeat the arc check until the new values are acceptable.
It is necessary to remove the fibers and prepare them again with a
new cleave. If unsatisfactory results are obtained after 4 arc check
attempts, inspect the electrodes for wear or damage, and replace
them if necessary.
