ARC Calibration : According to the local ground elevation, temperature, moderate and other
environmental factors to match the most suitable discharge ARC, in order to obtain the best
splicing effect, we strongly recommend you to do ARCcalibration when it is the first time to use
the new machine, the seasonal changes, the use place changes, or you replaced the electrodes.

CHAPTER VII REPLACEELECTRODE v REPLACE ELECTRODE vw
Electrode replacement must use the genuine & original electrode designed for this machine
from factory. When the number of electrode is used close to 3000 times, the machine will
remind you to replace it. When it reaches to 3000 times,it is necessary to replace the electrode
and activate it then you can use again (see page 38 ACTIVATE ELECTRODE). Otherwise it may
affect the splicing quality, or even shut down the program automatically, and could notsplice.
The electrode replacement procedureis as follows:
1.Please pinch the electrode 2.The cap size of two 3.Take away the cover, 4.Removethe lamp cap on 5.Screw out the screwswith 6.Use a screwdriver to push

CHAPTER VIII ACTIVATEELECTRODE ¥ ACTIVATE ELECTRODE
P.S. The electrodes on the new machine do NOT need to activate, we have activated it
before ex-factory. Only when the electrodes life on the machine is expired in the future
and then you need to replace & activate the electrodes. < Connect device
When the electrode is used up to 3000 times, you need to replace the electrode and activate
it .You need to use APP software “Signalfire2” install in your phone and activate the electrodes.
Please scan the two-dimensional code on the machine screen to download the APP software.
