Parameter
Overlap
Description
Sets the overlap amount of the fibers at the fiber stuffing stage.
Relatively small [Overlap] is recommended if the [Prefuse Power] is low,
while relatively large [Overlap] is recommended if the [Prefuse Power] is
high.
Arc Power
Sets Arc power. The arc intensity expressed in units of “bits”.
Arc Time
Sets Arc time. The total arc discharge time including the prefuse time.
Rearc Time
Sets Rearc Time. The additional arc discharge time after splicing.
Estimate
Selects splice loss estimation to "OFF" or "ON".

This amount is added to the estimated splice loss originally calculated.
When splicing specialty or dissimilar fibers, a high actual splice loss may
occur even with optimized arc conditions. To make the actual splice loss
concur with the estimated splice loss, set the minimum value to the
minimum optimized actual splice loss.
Sets MFD of the fibers. This MFD value is taken into account for
estimating splice loss.
This amount influences the splice loss estimation. When there is a
difference between actual splice loss and estimated loss, adjust this value.
If [Proof Test] is set to "ON", a proof-test is performed upon opening the
wind protector.
Splice loss is sometimes improved when the fiber is tapered (pulled)
during arc discharge to make the splice thinner. This sets taper function
"ON". The following three parameters determine the taper shape.
Sets the taper wait time from the end of fiber stuffing until the start of
pulling the fiber.
Sets the fiber pulling speed.
Taper Length Sets the fiber pulling length.
