ODU Test
Description and
Cautions The optical amplifier output noise is used as a broadband signal source. The
purpose of this test is to verify continuity through the ODU.
NOTE:
The ODU and its associated OA must have been powered for at least 15
minutes prior to making any tests.
!
CAUTION:
To prevent potential damage to the Optical Amplifiers (LEA6, LEA7,LEA7B,
LEA104, or LEA105) or the fiber jumpers themselves, unseat these packs
before connecting or disconnecting the fiber jumpers to the “IN” and “OUT”
ports; then reseat the pack.
!
DANGER:
Disabling the Automatic Power Shut-Down (APSD) feature results in a FDA/
IEC ClassIIIb/3B laser hazard. APSD is a safety feature. Do not attempt to
defeat or disable APSD. Defeating APSD may result in harm to personnel
exposed to disconnected or cut optical fibers.
!
CAUTION:
To comply with IEC regulations, systems containing an IEC Class 3B laser
hazard must be installed in a controlled environment. Please refer to
applicable IEC standards.
!
CAUTION:
High-power optical signal levels may be present during the following testing.
If using an optical power meter that is not rated for +16 dBm, use a 33 dB
attenuator cable between the optical source and the meter.
