AUTOTEST MODE
AUTOTEST
This feature is on the Light Source, not the power meter. It can be used
with other Kingfisher power meters such as the KI2000, KI3000.
KI7000 series.
Autotest performs automated loss measurement and wavelength
detection by data exchange between a Light Source and Optical
Power meter. Major labour savings can be achieved.
Autotest detection remains activated for about 8 seconds after fiber
disconnect, so the user can change optical connections without re-
starting Autotest each time, thus achieving productivity gains. Autotest
reduces source warm up drift and battery consumption compared to
manual operation.
Autotest works in situations where high loss or wavelength selective
elements stop some wavelengths from transmitting. The meter will
detect and show whatever wavelengths are successfully received.
Instrument compatibility
Any Kingfisher Autotest source / power meter / loss test set / two-way
tester can be used as a source & meter, for one direction loss testing.
Both instruments must have matching source and meter wavelengths.
Initiating Autotest
Connect an Autotest light source to an Autotest power meter with an
appropriate test lead, and turn on the instruments. On the light source,
press [Auto], the light source will cycle through all available
wavelengths (limited to 5*) and the meter will automatically switch to
Autotest mode and follow it. The meter detects the correct
wavelengths, and displays the nominal source power in dBm of the
respective wavelengths.

Autotest operations
