AUTOTEST OVERVIEW
KI7000 UM-5

14 -
Autotest performs automated loss measurement and wavelength
detection by data exchange between the Light source and Optical
Power meter.
Autotest remains synchronised for about 8 seconds after
disconnection, 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 use the KITS™ software
to achieve real-time data acquisition to facilitate acceptance testing
and reporting in the field. Free KITS™ software available on our
website includes a comprehensive on-line manual with full operating
sequences.
Instruments compatibility
Any Kingfisher equipment featuring Autotest is compatible, eg. any
Autotest source / loss test set can be used with any Autotest meter
for one direction loss testing as long as both instruments have
matching wavelengths.
Initiating Autotest operation
Connect Light source to the Power meter with test lead and turn on
the instruments. On Light source, press [AUTOTEST]. The meter
automatically sets to the correct wavelength and displays the
absolute power in dBm, with the operating wavelength shown at the
top right.
In Autotest, the display rotates through all source wavelengths. To
lock a display, press – side on [-/+]. In this mode, “nm” will be
flashing to show that the selected wavelength is locked. The nominal
source power transmitted from the source is on the left hand side of
the power meter display. Pressing [Abs/Rel] will make meter to
display measured optical power in dB R with the reference value
shown on the left side.
To exit Autotest, press [MENU] on Light source or disconnect patch
lead for more than 8 seconds.
Wavelength selection mode
If the required regular testing uses fewer wavelengths than the Light
source has available, then it may be convenient to reduce the
number of active Autotest wavelengths. For example, instead of the
source rotating through 1310 / 1490 / 1550 / 1610 nm, it can be set
to test at 1310/1550 nm only.
To switch wavelengths on/off:
•
press [SOURCE] and then [-/+] to select wavelength.
•
to check whether selected wavelength is switched on/off,
press right hand button below the screen, its status will be
indicated as ‘IN’ or ‘OUT’.
•
on hidden keypad, press [ ] till ‘Shift’ comes on LCD, then
right hand button below the screen to change status of
selected wavelength.
Autotest operates only with wavelengths selected as ‘IN’.
Selected settings will be retained at the next turn on.
