Important Safety Instructions

Safe installation

Read these instructions before handling or connecting the equipment. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not place the equipment in a highly humid environment.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

Handling optical connections

Keep the connector covers and cable caps in a safe place in
case they are needed in the future.
Carefully align the guides on both connectors when plugging a cable to the device, then push the connector all the way in.
Take special care to avoid damaging the unprotected ends of the connectors, as small scratches, impurities and/or particles of dirt, oil, grease, sweat, etc. may significantly as ect the quality of the signal.
To clean the ends of the connectors, gently rub with a lint free lens cleaning cloth, dampened using additive-free isopropyl alcohol. Make sure the alcohol evaporates fully before connecting.
Always fit the covers on the connectors of devices that are not connected to cables to prevent the laser beam from damaging the eyes.
Do not turn the transmitter on without a fiber optic cable connected to it.

Warning

Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent typ.

Safety precautions

Aut. OTDR

By simply pushing a button and by means of a fully automated and optimised test parameter configuration, the OTDR comprehensively processes, detects and analyses link events. With a pass/fail evaluation based on user-defined values, it e%ciently supports beginners in OTDR operation.

Expert OTDR

The OTDR test parameters can be manually con&gured according to the test requirements.

The &bre trace is displayed.
*Fiber trace ()**
The event table shows the type of event, total &bre length, link loss, etc.

Link Image

The Link Image application displays OTDR results as icons, giving users a schematic view of the entire link (pass/fail analysis) and helping technicians to use an OTDR more effectively.

Description events types

*Icon*	Description
OTDR Port	The OTDR Port equipped with an SC/UPC Connector emits light

pulses into the fiber and obtains backscatter information as well as Fresnel reflections. The amount of light received by the OTDR Port corresponds to the reflected power, depending on the width of the injected pulse. This initial reflective event is recorded as the first event on the trace.
_Reflective Events

_| Reflective events happen when the fiber experiences a break, a connector junction, or a mechanical splice, resulting in an abrupt change in the refractive index
_Non -Reflective Events

_| Non-reflective events occur where there are no discontinuities in the fiber and are generally produced by fusion splices or bending losses, such as macro bends. For non-reflective events, the event loss can appear as an event gain.
_Optical Splitter

_| Optical Splitter, the OTDR detects the presence of an optical splitter on the fiber link.
Fiber _End Point

_| Fiber end normally is a reflective event that will fall into the OTDR noise level, although it can also cause a non-reflective event.

Visual fault locator (VFL)

The visual fault locator (VFL) is an essential tool that quickly and easily locates ” bre problems. It emits a visible red light (650nm) that allows you to diagnose, locate and repair the problem e%ectively.

Locate tight bends, breaks and ” bre damage
Perform end-to-end continuity testing
Perform ” bre tracing and ” bre identi” cation
Continuous or & ashing illumination (1Hz, 2Hz)
Universal connector interface for fast and easy connection

Stabilised laser source (SLS)

The stabilised laser source shares the OTDR optical port and operates at the same working length as the OTDR (1310/1550nm). The output power can be adjusted for di% erent test applications. With light modulated at 270Hz/ 330Hz / 1kHz / 2kHz, it can be used for ” bre identi” cation.

Optical power meter (OPM)

The optical power meter is used to measure the output power of ” bre optic equipment or the loss of an optical signal transmitted through a ” bre cable. Calibrated with 7 wavelengths (850,1300,1310,1490,1550,1625 and 1650nm) it is the perfect tool for maintaining ” bre network links.

Operation

Optical loss test (OLT)

Optical loss test is a basic and key function to con” rm the condition of the ” bre optic installation and fault status.The light source (1310/1550nm) is emitted by the OTDR port, and the integrated optical power meter allows the optical loss measurement.

OTDR Trace Software

A program that allows the analysis of the measurements from a computer, either by inserting the microSD card into the computer or by connecting a USB cable to the OTDR.

Interpreting the %bre trace is a crucial task when using an OTDR. Fortunately, the OTDR Trace software can do this. It looks for changes in the backscatter level which indicate splice losses, defects, and Fresnel re&ections. These are typically caused by mechanical splices, breaks, or %ber terminations. The software will measure the loss in each of these events and present the results in an event table. The table summarizes each event’s location, attenuation, loss, re&ectance, and cumulative loss.
Operation
To access the terms and conditions of use of the software, please refer to the End User License Agreement (EULA) %le. You can %nd it on the microSD card of the equipment.
