Replacing Electrode - Artic FUSION SPLICER 5.7 Operation Manual

FIGURE 5.4
Replacing electrode
Arc produces by high temperature, melting the fiber, which will produce silicon oxide vapour and
some deposited on the electrodes, causing the arc instability. Therefore, users are recommended to
replace electrodes when discharge reached 2500 times.
Please replace the electrodes according to the following steps:
1.) Shut down the power.
2.) Loosen setscrews of electrodes cover and remove the electrodes cover, as shown in Figure 5.5
3.) Take out the electrode from the electrode holder. (Electrode is fixed on the electrode holder,
figure 5.6).
FIGURE 5.5 FIGURE 5.6
With tissue paper dipped in alcohol to clean the new electrodes, then, install the electrodes into the
original electrodes seat position.
Close the electrodes cover and tighten the screws.
Close the windproof cover and power on the machine.
Take an electrode aging.
Run 3 times fiber fusion if current fusion parameter is Auto mode otherwise run Arc Test or Arc
Calibrate if current fusion parameter is normal or calibrate.
Note: The replacement of the electrodes should be gentle, so as not to damage the machine or
stabbed himself.
