AUTOTEST
KI2000 UM-6

Autotest performs automated loss measurement and wavelength detection by
data exchange between a Light Source and Optical Power meter. Major labour
savings can be achieved.
Autotest detection remains activated for about 8 seconds after fiber
disconnect, so the user can change optical connections without re-starting
Autotest each time, thus achieving productivity gains. Autotest reduces source
warm up drift and battery consumption compared to manual operation.
To realise the full benefit of Autotest, please consider using KITS™ software
to achieve real-time data acquisition, and to facilitate acceptance testing and
reporting in the field.
Autotest works in situations where high loss or wavelength selective elements
stop some wavelengths from transmitting. The meter will detect and show
whatever wavelengths are successfully received.
Instrument compatibility
Any Kingfisher Autotest source / power meter / loss test set / two-way tester
can be used as a source & meter, for one direction loss testing. Both
instruments must have matching source and meter wavelengths.
The excellent stability of Kingfisher light sources is highly relevant to Autotest
operation, since the requirement to re-reference the source & meter is greatly
reduced
compared
to
most
other
equipment.
Initiating Autotest
Connect a light source to a power meter with an appropriate test lead, and
turn on the instruments. On the
light source
, press [Auto], the light source will
cycle through all available wavelengths (limited to 5
*
) and the meter will
automatically switch to Autotest mode. The meter detects the correct
wavelengths, and displays the nominal source power in dBm, with the
wavelengths shown at the left hand side of the display. Up to three
wavelengths can be displayed at the same time. To indicate Autotest is on,
’Auto’ will be flashing.
Autotest Operation
Press ‘Hold’ to stop/allow display update.
To toggle logarithmic / linear / relative display mode, press [Meter
Mode]. Measured optical power will be displayed in ‘dBm’, ’µW’ or
‘dB R’.
To view the nominal source power, press [Meter Mode] to enter
‘dBm’ or ’µW’, then press and hold [+].
To set reference, press [Meter Mode] to enter dB R, then press and
hold [Set Ref] for 3 seconds until beeps stop.
To view reference value, press [Meter Mode] to enter dB R, then
press [+].
To exit Autotest, press [Home] on light source or disconnect patch
lead for more than 8 seconds.
*
For light source with more than 5 wavelengths (or more than 3
wavelengths which are beyond 1300nm):
- hold [-] then press [Auto] to enter Autotest mode for MMF port only.
- hold [+] then press [Auto] to enter Autotest mode for SMF port only
.
-
press just [Auto] will enter Autotest mode for SMF port only.
