How to Use the Troubleshooter
Notes
Always use patch cords that comply with GR-326-CORE
specifications and have a UPC connector at the end you
will connect to the troubleshooter. Other patch cords
can cause unreliable measurements and damage to the
troubleshooter.
Do not use the troubleshooter to do tests on fibers
that have PC connectors. PC connectors cause large
reflections that the troubleshooter shows as the end of
the fiber.
1
Clean all fiber connectors.
2
Connect the fiber to the troubleshooter, as shown in
Figure 7.
3
Turn on the troubleshooter, then press
. The
troubleshooter automatically saves the results.
Note
After you turn on the troubleshooter, it shows
for a short time to show that it operates correctly.
W
Caution
If ACTIVE LINE blinks, immediately disconnect the
troubleshooter from the fiber. Optical power levels
more than +7 dBm can cause damage to the detector
in the troubleshooter.
