The vulnerability consumables of fusion splicer is the discharge electrode. The basic discharge 4000 times around the need to replace the new electrode.
Change electrode method:
First, take down the protective cover of the electrode chamber, loosen the screw on the electrode, take out the upper electrodes.Then loosen the screw of the under electrode, take out the under electrodes. The installation of a new electrode order is opposite with remove the action, require two electrode tip clearance is: 2.6 + / – 0.2 mm, and symmetry with optical fiber. Normally the electrode do not needto adjusted. In the process of change should not touch the electrode tips, in case of damage, and should avoid the electrode fall in the machine internal.
After replacement of electrode shall be arc position calibration or oneself do processing, polishing again, but changes the length of the corresponding welding parameters are also need to make changes.
