Tier 1 Loss Test
General information
The OLTS-85 offers three different measurement modes.
•
Source Mode:
The instrument works as a laser source.
•
OPM Mode:
The instrument works as an optical power meter.
•
Tier 1 Loss Test Mode:
The internal laser source and
powermeter are locked. This mode is used to measure loss
length and polarity of a fiber loop. For this purpose, the OLTS-
85 instruments can be set and referenced as remote or local.
Changing general instrument settings
For a loopback test the instrument must be set to the type
Local
.
For a remote test, on the other hand, two instruments are
