How to replace the electrodes of Fujikura 90S+ fusion splicer

Why need replace the electrodes for your Fujikura 90s+ fusion splicer?
Fujikura recommend customer to replace the electrodes , because worn electrode result in larger splice loss since bad fusing condition，even case fusion splicer problem.

When do I need to change the electrode and how often need to replace the electrodes?

It is recommended to replace it after 5000 times several fusions .
When the welding machine has the following problems, the ElCT2-16B electrodes needs to be replaced

If the electrode is not installed in the splicer properly it will be lifted up and higher than the electrode which is installed properly.


7. Turn on the splicer power. When the power-on sequence is complete, the Stabilize Electrodes menu is displayed on the monitor.



8. Perform Stabilize Electrodes as set the right and left fibers that cleaved into the splicer. Press the start icon on the monitor.



9. Perform Fusing Power Calibration. Set the right and left fibers that cleaved into the splicer. Press the start icon on the monitor.
