Autotest in Far End Source Mode
Use Far End Source mode to measure loss at two wavelengths on
one fiber.
In this mode, you can use the CertiFiber Pro remote or another
source, such as the Fluke Networks SimpliFiber
®
Pro source, at the
far end of the fiber.

Caution
For Far End Source mode, use the EF-TRC cords
only with the CertiFiber Pro modules or with
sources approved by Fluke Networks for use with
the cords. If a source does not have the correct
LED and internal fibers, the EF-TRC cords will not
make launch conditions that comply with
encircled flux standards. If the source is not
approved, use a standard mandrel.
Figure 23 shows the equipment for tests in Far End Source mode.
Auto Wavelength Modes
CertiFiber Pro modules and SimpliFiber Pro sources have an auto
wavelength mode. In this mode, the output port transmits both
wavelengths (850 nm and 1300 nm or 1310 nm and 1550 nm). The
signal includes identifiers that tell the meter when to measure
power at each wavelength. The CertiFiber Pro module in the
remote always operates in auto wavelength mode.
To select Auto CertiFiber Pro or Auto SimpliFiber Pro mode, you
tap the setting when the tester shows the TEST MODE window.
The TEST MODE window shows each time you set the reference.
