Replacing the electrode

Because prolonged use can damage the electrode, as can be accumulate silicon
oxide electrode tip. The quality of fusion and arc stability may decrease after about
2500 downloads. In this time, the user should change the electrode.
Firstly make sure fusion splicer is turned off, the take off protective cover of
electrode room, loosen the screw
electrode in the same way. The installation's order of new electrode is opposite to strip.
Gap between two tops of electrode should be within 2.6 ± 0.2 mm and they should be
symmetrical to fibers. Usually, do not adjust electrode, and to avoid damage of
electrode do not touch the electrode's top in the whole process, prevent electrode
dropping into the machine. After replacing electrode, you should aging electrode, test
the current until it is steady and do the arc test , after "Current is OK" is showed 3
times, user can continue to splice, steps are as following: Press
menu.
1.- Press or
2.- Press to enter it.
3.- Press or
4.- Press "ENT" to achieve arcing, arcing count is shown at the bottom of displayed,
20 times of arcing is shown in one time of "Electrode aging", after buzzer bleats
twice, electrode aging is finished. User can know the electrode situation according
to steady of image and sound. Pulse
hasta la opción "OLD ELECTRODE".
5.- Press to exit menus consecutively.
NOTE:
1) Shut off the power of machine before replacing electrode.
2) Make sure that arc parameter had been setup efficiently in the arc process
before testing the arc current.
3) Because of the vulnerability, the electrode is not in the range of repair.
