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.
