In order to observe edge neutral recycling for fusion machine operation, the absolute values of Hα and HeI emissions have been usually analyzed with measurement of edge density and temperature. On the other hand, it is known that the temperature and density dependences of each line can be negated by taking the ratio between the two lines. The intensity ratio of Hα (6563 ?) to HeI (5876 ? or 6678 ?) visible spectral lines is adopted, and the results are presented here instead of the method usually used for monitoring the edge particle recycling and the effect of wall conditioning in LHD. The ionization events per photon were calculated for both emissions using a collisional-radiative model, and the ratio of H+  flux (≡ H0 influx) to He+ flux (≡ He0 influx) was obtained. The Hα and HeI (5876 ?) emissions in LHD have been measured using a monitor assembly with an interference filter and optical fiber array. The H+ /He+ flux ratio has been thus evaluated by integrating the Hα and HeI emissions from a 10-channel toroidal array. As an example of the measurement, all discharges performed during the past 9 years in LHD have been analyzed. The present method shows that the aftereffects of the H2  and He glow discharge cleaning for vacuum wall conditioning on the LHD discharges become clearly visible. The replacement of deposited atoms on the carbon divertor plates was also analyzed. It is found that the replacement is completed by 40-50 shot repetition of discharges. These results indicate the effectiveness of the present method as a good monitor for fusion machine operation
