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.

▶ Preheat Mode It is performed for reducing heating time and rapid heating task. 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 avaiable 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.

6) Reset Unexpecting the malfunction occurred on splicer, it is necessary to make all the param- eter to be the factory set mode. However, It is highly recommended to execute task after discussed with a fiberfox technician. Whereas lower 1.34 version is necessary to execute Reset to adapt new function of program on splicer after upgrading process.
