Before you get started:
• Make sure all optical ends
are clean to avoid poor in-
sertion loss readings and
prevent contamination of
the optical ports on the test
units.
• Annual calibration is
recommended.
CAUTION:
Never look directly into the
output ports of the light
source or the ends of a fiber
optic connector. The light may
not always be visible, but can
still cause damage to the eye.
• Turn
on
LIGHT SOURCE
by
pulling up on the
TOGGLE
SWITCH
and moving it to
the left or the right, select-
ing appropriate wavelength.
NOTE:
To turn
off
light source, pull
up on toggle switch and move
to center position.
• Insert
ST
®
CONNECTOR
end of
LAUNCH JUMPER
into appropriate wavelength
port on Light Source.
• Insert other connector end of
Launch Jumper into Adapter
Cap on Power Meter.
•
Zero
the Power Meter by
pressing and holding down
the
Ref
button until
HELD
and
0.0 dB
is displayed.
NOTE:
It is recommended to
re-zero
the Power Meter at least every
30 minutes.
• Disconnect connector end
of Launch Jumper from
adapter cap on Power
Meter and insert into
SPLICE BUSHING.
• Insert one connector end of
the
DEVICE UNDER TEST
(DUT)
into the Splice Bush-
ing.
• Insert the other connector
end of the DUT into the
Adapter Cap on the Power
Meter.
• The number on the Power
Meter display represents the
insertion loss due to the
connector at the Splice
Bushing plus the attenuation
through the length of cable.
• Turn
on
POWER METER
by
pressing button.
NOTE:
To disable the 5-minute,
automatic-shutdown battery
saver feature, hold down the
button until
P
is displayed.
• On the Power Meter press
the
dB/dBm
button until
dB
is displayed.
• On Power Meter press “
λ
"
button until appropriate
wavelength is displayed.
• Install appropriate
ADAPTER CAP
onto Power
Meter.
• Allow 2 minutes for test set
to stabilize.
