A separate reference for each λ is stored and displayed.
When performing loss testing using an Autotest light source, up to
three
λ are displayed simultaneously.
Light Source Features
The full-function light source is used as part of Autotest, or as a simple
test source, or for generating test tones. Multiple
λ sources are
selected through the same port, which makes operation faster.
Laser sources at 1310 / 1490 / 1550 / 1625 nm are used for testing
single mode fiber systems, and LED sources at 850 / 1300 nm are
used for testing multimode fiber systems. Laser power level can be
user adjusted by 6 dB.
KI23400 series include zero warm up, ultra-stable lasers. These
sources use an unusual architecture to achieve a stability of ± 0.03 dB
over a wider temperature range with no warmup period and, are also
relatively insensitive to back reflections.
LED sources are mode controlled and compliant with Encircled Flux &
CPR test standards. The 1300 nm LED can also perform short
distance single mode testing.
Laser / LED light sources have re-connection repeatability of 0.1dB /
0.05 dB. Combined with the instrument excellent stability, this provides
more accurate measurement results.
Multi-Fiber ID, Continuity & Locator Features
The instrument has a variety of helpful features to keep jobs moving.
The optional and innovative VFL VisiTester option is helpful for
general loss testing, continuity testing and fault finding. In VisiTester
mode, it intermittently illuminates the connected test fiber with a red
laser, very helpful to find a misplaced fiber end in a large array. It can
also be used as a standard VFL (Visual Fault Locator) with continuous
or flasher modes.
Multi-fiber ID allows for easy multi-fiber identification of up to 12 fibers
at a time. Typically, when using this feature, multiple light sources are
set up on multiple fibers, with each source set to a different Fiber ID.
When detected by the power meter, a buzzer sounds and displays the
corresponding fiber ID number.
A simple tone source / power meter detection feature turns the power
meter into a quick and simple continuity tester, with continuity
indicated by a buzzer.
The source can operate as a tone generator for other clip-on fiber
identifiers.
