Set cleave limit. An error message is displayed if the cleave angle of
either the left or right fiber ends exceeds the selected threshold.
Loss Limit
An error message is displayed if the estimated splice loss exceeds
selected threshold (loss limit).
Arc Power
In SM/DS/MM/NZ/AUTO modes, the Arc Power is fixed at 40 bits.
Arc Time
Arc Time is fixed at 1500 ms for SM and DS modes, 2000 ms for NZ
mode, and 3000 ms for MM mode. This is automatically set depending
on the fiber type when AUTO mode is selected.
Cleaning Arc
A cleaning arc burns out micro dust on the surface of the fiber with an
arc discharge for a short period of time. The duration of the cleaning
arc can be changed by this parameter.
Rearc Time
Splice loss may be improved by an additional “rearc” discharge in
some cases. The duration of this additional arc can be changed by this
parameter.
