Chapter 7 - Maintenance Menu
The splicer has a function to perform routine maintenance. This section describes
how to use the maintenance menu.
① Press button, and select [Maintenance Menu].
② Select a function to perform.
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.
① Select [Replace Electrodes] in [Maintenance Menu].
② Instruction messages will appear on the screen to turn off the power. Then turn
off the splicer.
③ Remove the old electrodes.
I) Loosen screw located on electrode cover.
