Replace electrodes
As electrodes are worn out during the splicing process, oxide generated on the
tips of electrodes should be regularly eliminated. It is recommended that the
electrodes should be replaced after 3500 arc discharges. When the number of arc
discharges reaches a count of 3500, a message prompting to replace the
electrodes is displayed immediately after turning on the power. Using the
electrodes without a replacement will result in greater splice loss and reduced
splice strength.
Replacement procedure
•
Select [Replace electrodes] in [Maintenance Menu].
•
Instruction messages will appear on the screen to turn off the power.
Then turn off the splicer.
•
Remove the old electrodes.
•
Loosen screw located on electrode cover.
•
Take electrodes out of the electrode covers. (electrodes are fixed in electrode
cover)
•
Clean the new electrodes with alcohol-impregnated clean gauze or lint-free
tissue, and install them in the splicer.
•
Insert the electrodes in the electrode covers.
•
Place the electrode covers on the splicer, and tighten the screws.
Note: Do not pull out wiring when replacing electrode. Do not exceed the normal
finger strength when tightening screw.
