Stabilize Electrodes; Motor Calibration - INNO VIEW 5 Pro User Manual

④ Clean the new electrodes with alcohol-impregnated clean gauze or lint-free tissue, and install them in the splicer.
I) Insert the electrodes in the electrode covers.
II) Place the electrode covers on the splicer, and tighten the screws.
⚠ Note:
Do not pull out wiring when replacing electrode. Do not exceed the normal finger strength when tightening screw.
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).

7.3 Stabilize Electrodes

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 4500 arc discharges. When the number of arc
discharges reaches a count of 4500, 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.
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.

7.4 Motor Calibration

Motors are adjusted at the factory before shipping. However, settings may be changed in various reasons. This function
automatically calibrates the press motors.
Operation Procedure
① Select [Motor Calibration] in [Maintenance Menu].
② Load prepared fibers in the splicer and press [Set] button.
③ Press motors are automatically calibrated. Upon completion, message will be displayed.
⚠ Note:
* Perform this function when "Fat " or "Thin" error occurs, or fiber aligning or focusing takes too much time.
Operation Procedure
① After you have selected [Arc Calibration] in maintenance menu, an image of [Arc Calibration] will be displayed on the
screen.
② Set prepared fibers on the splicer, press [Set] button to begin ARC Calibration.
⚠ Note:
* Use standard SM, DS or MM fiber for arc calibration. * Ensure clean fibers for arc calibration. Dust on the fiber surface
affects arc calibration.
③ After Arc calibration, 2 numeric values will be displayed on the screen. When values on the right side are up to 11±1,
the splicer will prompt out message for completion, otherwise the fiber needs to be cleaved again for Arc discharge
calibration till message for completion prompted out.
