Referencing is now complete. Move the 

Light Source

 and 

RJ1

 to the front of the Tap module; 

move 

M2

RJ3, and the LC adapter 

 to the end of the Tap harness; and move 

M1 

and 

RJ2

 to 

the EDGE8™ modules at the far end of the system (See Figure 11).

IMPORTANT: 

From this step on, do NOT disconnect the connectors on either the Light Source or 

meter port adapters.

9.  Testing EDGE8 LC-MTP Tap Modules

9.1 

Table 2 provides a complete guide to the testing sequence for testing with the light source at the 

Tap module “A” (“Near end”) and a meter at Module “B”, or the “Far end” of the system shown in 

Figure 11.

Testing Sequence with Light Source at the Tap Module

9.2 

To begin testing a Tap module (Figure 11):

Step 1: 

Install the Light Source/RJ1 LC connector into LC number 2 port of the Tap module.

Step 2: 

Install 

RJ2’s

 LC connector into the number 1 port of the EDGE8 module (Module “B” 

in Figure 11).

Step 3: 

Install LC connector number 1 from the Tap port test harness into the LC adapter on 

the end of 

RJ3

.

Step 4: 

Save or record the first fiber’s measurements. The reading will be the total system 

loss.
