Cleaning
Discharge Amount

A short cleaning discharge is conducted to
remove fine dust on optical fiber’s surface
upon initial stage of optical fiber arrayal. It
sets intensity of cleaning discharge.

Cleaning  Discharge It sets time for cleaning discharge.

Clearance
Location

· It sets location of optical fiber spliced at
    the center of discharge.
· When MFD of both optical fibers differs, do the   
    sealing procedure through melting the smaller 
    MFD optical fiber more than the bigger MFD  
    optical fiber. To heat the smaller MFD optical 
    fiber more, splice loss can be lowered by moving    
    the clearance location toward the bigger MFD
    optical fiber at the center of discharge.
