⑤ INNO Instrument strongly recommends all users to do stabilizing electrodes
and arc calibration after electrodes replacing to keep good splice results and splice
strength (Details are described below).

Stabilize Electrodes

In the event of sudden change in environmental conditions, especially when the
splicer is moved from lower altitudes to higher altitudes, the arc power may become
unstable, resulting in higher splice loss. In such case, it takes time for arc power to
be stabilized. In this case, stabilizing electrodes will expedite the process to set the
arc power stable. If many tests are needed until the "Operation Complete" message
appears in [Arc calibration], use this function as well.

Operation Procedure

① Select [Stabilize electrodes].
② Place prepared fibers into the splicer for splicing.
③ Press [S] button, and the splicer will begin to stabilize the electrodes
automatically in the following procedures:
◆ Repeat arc discharge five times to measure the arc position.
◆ Perform splicing rapidly.
◆ Perform stabilizing electrodes 20 times consecutively to precisely locate the electrodes
position.

Diagnostic Test

VIEW8+ has a built-in diagnostic test function that allows the user to evaluate
several critical variable parameters with only one simple step. Perform this function
in case of splicer operation fault.
Operation Procedure
② Execute [Diagnostic test], then the following checks will be made.
