Operation Procedure; Arc Calibration - INNO VIEW 5 User Manual

Operation procedure

Select [Motor Calibration] in [Maintenance Menu].
•
Load prepared fibers in the splicer, and press [SET].
•
Speeds for all motors are automatically calibrated. Upon completion,
•
the message "Operation Complete" will be displayed.
Note: Perform this function when "Fat" or "Thin" error occurs, or fiber aligning
or focusing takes too much time.

Arc calibration

Atmospheric conditions such as temperature, humidity and pressure are
constantly changing, which creates variability in the arc temperature. VIEW 5 is
equipped with temperature and pressure sensors that are used in a constant
feedback monitoring control system to maintain the arc power at a stable level.
However, changes in arc power due to electrode wear and glass adhesion cannot
be calibrated automatically. Also, the center position of arc discharge sometimes
shifts to the left or to the right. In this case, the fiber splicing position has to be
shifted in relation to the arc discharge center. It is necessary to perform an arc
power calibration to eliminate those problems.
Note: Performing arc calibration function changes the parameter of the system.
The arc power value will not be changed in the splice modes.
Operation procedure
Select [Arc Calibration] in [Maintenance Menu] to display arc calibration on the
•
screen.
Place prepared fibers into the splicer, and press [SET] to perform arc calibration.
•
Note: Use standard SM, DS or MM fiber for arc calibration. Use well-prepared
fibers for arc calibration since dust on the fiber surface affects arc calibration.
