12. Atmospheric conditions such as temperature humidity and pressure are constantly changing which creates variability in the arc temperature This splicer is equipped with temperature and pressure sensors that are used in a constant feedback monitoring control system to regulate the arc power at a constant level However changes in arc power due to electrode wear and glass adhesion cannot be corrected automatically Also the center position of arc discharge sometimes shifts to the left or to the right In this case the fiber splicing position has to be shifted in relation to the arc discharge center It is necessary to perform an arc power calibration to eliminate those problems lrs 19 HIGH PRECISION FUSION SPLICER User s Manual INNO Instrument Inc Operation Procedure 1 Select Arc Calibration in Maintenance Menu to display Arc Calibration on the screen 2 Set prepared fibers on the splicer and press SET to execute arc calibration Note Use standard SM or MM fiber for arc calibration Use well prepared fibers for arc calibration Dust on the fiber surface affects arc calibration 3 After arc calibration there are two values show on the screen If the right value achieves 1142 the message Test Finished will be display Otherwise multiple iterations of arc calibration are needed until the message Test Finished is displayed Electrode Setting Set the electrode change warnings INNO recommends that repla
