6.8.1 Electrodes Stabilize
Arcing can sometimes become unstable due to surroundings and consequently, the
splice loss may increase. As it takes a long time to stabilize arcing when the splicer is
located at low or high elevations, it is particularly important to wait for the electrodes
inside to be stabilized. After replacing the electrodes, in particular, its stabilizing
should be conducted.
i. Put a prepared fiber on the splicer.
ii. Select “STABILIZE” with button.
iii. Press “OK”.
iv. Arc is conducted 30 times in a row for electrodes stabilizing.
v. When stabilizing completes, it displays the screen below.
