INNO VIEW 5 - Stabilize Electrodes; Operation Procedure; Diagnostic Test

Chapter 7 Maintenance Menu 36
•
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).
Stabilize electrodes
In the event of sudden change in environmental conditions, especially when
the splicer is moved from lower altitudes to higher altitudes, the arc power may
become unstable, resulting in higher splice loss. In such case, it takes time for arc
power to be stabilized. In this case, stabilizing electrodes will expedite the process
to set the arc power stable. If many tests are needed until the “Operation
Complete” message appears in [Arc calibration], use this function as well.
Operation procedure
•
Select [Stabilize electrodes].
•
Place prepared bers into the splicer for splicing.
•
Press [SET] button, and the splicer will begin to stabilize the electrodes
automatically in the following procedures:
•
Repeat arc discharge ve times to measure the arc position.
•
Perform splicing rapidly.
•
Perform stabilizing electrodes 20 times consecutively to precisely locate
the electrodes position.
Diagnostic test
VIEW 5 has a built-in diagnostic test function that allows the user to evaluate
several critical variable parameters with only one simple step. Perform this function
in case of splicer operation fault.
Operation procedure
•
Select [Diagnostic Test] in [Maintenance Menu].
