such as "Fat", "Thin" or "Bubble", an error message is displayed. If no error message is
displayed but the splice looks poor by visual inspection through the monitor, it is
strongly recommended to repeat the splice from the beginning.
Splice point sometimes looks a bit fatter than other parts. This is considered a
normal splice, and does not affect splice loss.
To change threshold for estimated splice loss or cleave angle, see [Splice Mode] for
details.
Splice loss may be improved in some cases by additional arc discharges. Press
[ARC] button for an additional arc discharge (re-arc). Splice loss estimate and
splice check are performed again. Splice loss may be worsened in some cases by
additional arc discharges (re-arcs). Additional arc discharge can be set to "disabled",
or limited to the number of additional arcs.
Splicing result is automatically saved in splicer memory
