SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

The only service and maintenance that the Fiber Optic Test Set should require is battery 
replacement, “zeroing”, and LED power adjustment. Instructions for these procedures 
follow. All other adjustments have been made by Industrial Fiber Optics.

Battery Installation Procedure

The recommended batteries for the Fiber Optic Test Set are standard, heavy-duty or alkaline 
9-volt batteries. See Table 2 for the part numbers of major battery manufacturers. 

Do not 

use nickel-cadmium batteries in this meter because their lower cell voltages will 
produce inaccurate readings. Contact the factory if in doubt regarding proper 
battery selection.

1.

  Remove the four screws at the corners of the Fiber Optic Test Set front panel.

2.

  Carefully lift the front panel from the test set chassis and place it on a table or 

bench face down.

3.

  To remove a battery from its holder, lift the rear portion (end without the 

terminals) upward until the battery unsnaps from the holder terminal connections.

4.

  Remove any protective packaging from the replacement battery.

5.

  Line up the replacement battery terminals to ensure proper polarity in the holder, 

then securely push the battery into place. Check that the battery holder and 9-volt 
battery terminals are fully engaged. When the battery is properly positioned it will 
be level with and reside just below the sides of the battery holder. 

6.

  Install the other 9-volt battery.

7.

  Place the front panel back onto the test set chassis. Replace the four screws in the 

corners of the front panel and tighten them securely.

8.

  Press the “ON/OFF” switch and check for proper operation. If necessary, perform 

the INITIAL CHECK OUT procedure contained in this manual. 

“Zeroing” Procedure

Periodically it may become necessary to adjust the LCD Display indication so that it reads 
“zero” in the absence of light on the radiometer. “Zeroing” the radiometer can be done 
using the following procedure.

1.

  Install the protective cap on the “DETECTOR” receptacle.

2.

  Turn the “DISPLAY SELECTOR SWITCH” to the range you’ll be using, then turn 

the test set on by pressing the “ON/OFF” switch. Allow one minute for the meter 
to stabilize.
