Ilsintech SWIFT KF4 - CALIBRATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES; ARC CALIBRATION PROCEDURE; ARC TEST FUNCTION

6.5 | CALIBRATION
To display splice mode, press and select the “CALIBRATION” menu with the button. The calibration
menu is equipped with various functions, such as arc amount calibration, motor operation test, etc.
6.5.1 ARC CALIBRATION
The KF4 continuously checks for a change in temperature and air pressure through each sensor. Based on such
data, arc amount is automatically adjusted. However, a change in arc amount due to abrasion of the electrodes
or the fiber splice, is not automatically adjusted. The central axis of the arc can also be moved toward the left or
right. In this case, arc calibration is required.
When executing arc calibration, arc voltage is automatically changed to a proper value. This value is calculated
internally. The arc voltage cannot arbitrarily be changed.
Only SM fiber should be used for arc calibration.
1| Prep and insert SM fiber into the splicer using clamps or proper fiber holders.
2| Press as follows.
