Notes:
• 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, refer to “Splice
Mode” in this manual for details.
• Splice loss may be improved in some cases by additional arc discharges.
Press or
as displayed in the main splicing screen, 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.
