Arc Correction
Atmospheric conditions such as temperature, humidity, and pressure are
constantly changing, which arises variability during the arc. This splicer is
equipped with temperature, pressure and humidity sensors to monitor the
operation environment to stabilize the arc power. Electrodes wear and dirtiness
also affect arc power, and the center position of the arc sometimes shifts to the
left or right. This splicer provides Arc calibration function to eliminate these
effects. Based on the axis deviation of the splice joint before and after the arc to
judge the arc force to realize low loss and stable splice.
When one of the following circumstances exists, Arc calibration must be executed
before splice operation.
Fibre type changes
►
Temperature, humidity or pressure changes
►
Splice loss increases
►
Electrodes have been used for long time or stained
►
After cleaning or replacing electrodes
►
Operation Procedure:
Select "Arc correction" in the "Maintenance" Menu.
Place cleaved fibres into the splicer.
Press "
The system adjusts the center of fibres gap to arc center.
►
After arc, the system will measure the melt-back amounts of left and
►
right fibre axises, and calibrate the arc current.
After arc, the result will be displayed on the screen. If the screen displays
"Arc current too weak", "Arc current too powerful", repeat step
again until the screen displays "Success".
