Page 8: Splice Program
Splice Programs Splice Menu, Maintenance, Stabilize Electrodes, Setting, User Instruction, Arc Calibration [Stabilize Electrodes] In the event of sudden change in environmental conditions or after cleaning electrodes, the arc power sometimes becomes unstable, resulting in higher splice loss. This is especially a concern when the splicer is moved from lower altitudes to higher , it takes time for the arc power to stabilize. -

When it comes to turned on program, red LED keeps blinking which means it is warming up the heater about 120 to 160℃ itself. After a few minutes, it is available to shrink the sleeve in 15 seconds (Refer to 60mm sleeve which used to perform in 20 seconds) However, Please be attention, it wastes more the battery power than Normal heating mode.

Page 25: Notice : Warning And Cautions
Notes: Warning and Cautions Warnings! Disconnect the AC/DC power cord from the wall socket(outlet) immediately if user observes the following or if the splicer receives the following faults: • Fumes, bad odor, noise, or over-heating occurs. • Liquid or foreign matter falls into cabinet. •... - Page 26 Warnings! Do not store splicer in any area where temperature and humidity are extremely high. Possible equipment failure may result. Do not touch protection sleeve or tube-heater during heating or immediately after completion of heating. Their surfaces are very hot and touching these may result in burn. The splicer is precision adjusted and aligned.
