see the Electrode menu as below. It is necessary to regularly check and clean the
electrodes because they are worn out. The silica oxidized substances is deposited as
the electrodes go through numerous times of splices. There're already various
functions to arc count, replace time and other.
6.7.1 Electrode Stabilize
Sometimes, surrounding environment may cause the occurrence of irregular arc
discharge or splice loss increase. In particular, since it takes a while until discharge
is stabilized when the splicer is in lower or higher location, you have to keep
adjusting the discharge until the electrodes are stabilized. Especially after installing
new set of electrodes, the user must do Electrode Stabilize as follows.
i.
Place the fiber in the arc fusion splicer.
