<Fusion Time>
Fusion time is the duration of arc discharge. (Numerical input)
<Prefusion Time>
Pre-fusion time is the time in seconds the fiber ends wait after the arc discharge begins
before beginning the overlap (feed). (Numerical input)
<Arc Gap>
Arc gap is the distance between the left and right fibers before fusion takes place.
(Numerical input)
<Over Lap>
Overlap is the amount of overlap between the left and right fibers that occurs when the
right fiber is fed forward during the arc fusion. (Numerical input)
2/2
<Arc Power>
Expressed in a unit-less step value as [StXX]. Arc power controls the amount of
heat the fibers are exposed to during the fusion arc. As the power is automatically set
after an arc test and compensated at every splices, normally an operator does not need
to change it manually.
“Standard” means compensated arc power of the splice program,
and added value can be manually set by operator. (Numerical input)
<Arc Center>
Arc center is the position of the arc center. Usually it is set automatically by the splicer.
