Clean the connector end face of the optical fiber cable before connecting it to the instrument. If dust is adhered to the connector end
face, it may damage the instrument’s optical port. If this happens, the instrument will not be able to make correct measurements.
1.
Firmly press the connector end face of the optical
fiber cable against the cleaning surface of the
cleaner.
2.
While pressing the end face against the cleaner, turn
the cable once.
3.
While pressing the end face against the cleaner,
move the cable.
4.
Repeat steps 1 to 3.
1.
Open the optical port cover on the instruments top panel.
2.
Properly align the optical fiber cable’s connector with the
optical port, and insert the connector.
You can purchase an optical fiber
connector cleaner from NTT-AT
Corporation.
Note
• The optical port that you have to connect to varies depending on how you intend to use the instrument. Confirm which port light will
be transmitted from before you connect the optical fiber cable.
• On the AQ1210E, AQ1210D, AQ1215E, AQ1215F and AQ1216F, light with a 1310 nm or 1550 nm wavelength is transmitted from
OTDR port (PORT1), and light with a 850 nm, 1300 nm, 1625 nm or 1650 nm wavelength is transmitted from OTDR (PORT2).
