Calibration Menu; Arc Calibration - UCL SWIFT ILSINTECH K33A Owner's Manual & User Manual

CALIBRATION MENU

The calibration menu has 4 sub menus that enable the user to perform factory diagnostic
tools to ensure the K33A operates at a consistently high-quality level. Arc Calibration,
Diagnostic Test, Motor Drive Calibration and Motor Calibration.
From the main menu press the button on either the K33A or its touch screen. Select the
Calibration menu to take you to the options that the user can perform to make sure the
K33A is best acclimated for its specifi c working environment.

ARC CALIBRATION

Swift K33A continuously checks change the temperature, humidity and attitude through
its on-board sensors. Based on this data the arc discharge is automatically calibrated.
Changes in the amount of required arc discharge due to electrode abrasion or the optical
fi ber's splice properties is not automatically calibrated. The central axis of discharge can
also be move left or right of center based on external environmental factors resulting in
diminished splice results. In this case, an arc calibration is required to recalibrate all the
sensors to the current conditions. (Similar to Restarting your cell phone)
Arc calibration is a function used to reset the value of arc discharge voltage. It is used as
the baseline computation program for splicing. The calibration value of the arc discharge
cannot be changed in the splice mode and it is recommended that an Arc Calibration
be performed at the start of each day and/or if there are any temperature, humidity or
altitude changes to the K33A.

Below is what the screen will display while the arc calibration is being performed. The
Arc Calibration will arc multiple times during this procedure so be sure to wait for the
"Calibration Completed" message as seen below.
