10. Simultaneous Testing of the Live and Tap Portions of an MTP
Tap Module
10 .1
This section describes how to test the entire system at once with one source and two meters. This is
an alternative way to test compared to Steps 8 and 9. Note that this can only be done if all the permanent
harnesses are installed or test harnesses are purchased to mimic the harnesses that will be installed. Also, three
craft persons will be needed instead of two.
10 .2
To calculate the system losses for the system use the values calculated above in Steps 8 and 9 and
reference the test equipment as shown in Step 7.
10 .3
To begin testing the system (Figure 16):
Step 1:
Install the
Light Source/RJ1 LC connector
into the number 2 port of the Edge module, Module “B”.
Step 2:
Install
Meter 1/RJ2’s LC connector adapter
onto LC number 1 of the harness plugged into the front-
mounted LIVE Port of the MTP Tap module.
Step 3:
Install
Meter 2/RJ3’s LC connector adapter
onto LC number 2 of the harness plugged into the TAP port
of the MTP Tap module.
Step 4:
Continue testing through on the even fibers of the EDGE module, Module “B,” using Tables 3 and 5 for
testing sequences.
