OTDR
Getting Started Guide
The OptiFiber® Pro Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) module attaches to a Versiv™ or Versiv 2 main unit to make a rugged, hand-held tester that lets you locate, identify, and measure reflective and loss events in multimode and singlemode fibers. Typical maximum test ranges are 35 km maximum at 1300 nm for multimode fiber and 130 km maximum at 1550 nm for singlemode fiber.
Accessing the Product Manuals
This guide provides basic information to help you get started using the tester. For more detailed information, see the latest versions of the Versiv Series Users Manual and the Versiv Series Technical Reference Handbook provided on the Fluke Networks website.

How to Do an OTDR Test

Power the Tester
Charge the battery if necessary. Connect the AC adapter to AC power and to the adapter connector (12) shown in Figure 1. You can use the tester while the battery charges.
Select Settings
2 2-1 On the home screen, tap the test setup panel (see Figure 2, number 2).
To set up a project, tap the PROJECT panel.
To change settings for the test or select a different test, tap the test setup panel.
To set up cable IDs, turn on Auto Save, and change the settings for the fiber End, tap the Next ID panel.
To upload test results to LinkWare Live, tap SYNC.

2-2 On the CHANGE TEST screen, tap EDIT.
2-3 On the TEST SETUP screen, tap the panels to change settings:

Test Type: Select Auto OTDR.
Launch Compensation: If you will use launch/tail cords set this to On.
Wavelength: Select the wavelengths for the test.
Fiber Type: On the FIBER TYPE screen, select a fiber type that is applicable. To see a different group of fiber types, tap MORE, then tap a group.
Test Limit: Select the correct test limit for the job. To see a different group of limits, tap MORE, then tap the name of a group.
2-4 To save the settings, tap SAVE on the TEST SETUP screen.

Compensate for Launch and Tail Cords (recommended)
Launch and tail cords let the tester measure the loss and eflectance of the first and last connectors in the cabling and also include them in the measurement of overall loss.
Without launch and tail cords, no backscatter is available before the first connector nor after the last.
Fluke Networks recommends that you use launch and tail cords. You should also use the launch/tail cord compensation function to remove the lengths of these fibers from the OTDR measurements.
To compensate for launch and tail cords
3-1 Select launch and tail cords that have the same type of fiber as the fiber you will test.
3-2 On the home screen, tap SET COMP.
3-3 On the SET LAUNCH METHOD screen tap Launch + Tail.
3-4 Clean and inspect the OTDR port and the launch/tail cord connectors.
3-5 Make the connections shown in Figure 3.
3-6 Tap SET.
3-7 When the SET LAUNCH COMP screen shows, select the event that is the end of the launch cord and the start of the tail cord, if this event is not already selected.
3-8 Tap SAVE. ATEC Fluke Networks OptiFiber Pro 2 OTDR Rentals - fig
3 Do the OTDR Test
4-1 Clean and inspect the connectors on the launch and tail cords and the fiber to be tested.
4-2 Connect the tester to the link as shown in Figure 4.
4-3 Tap TEST or press . Examine the Results
The tester shows the OTDR results in three formats (Figure 5):

EventMap: Shows a diagram of the events on the fiber, the fiber length, and the overall loss of the fiber. Use this screen to quickly locate connectors and faults on the fiber.
To see details for an event, tap the event in the map, then tap the information window for the event.
TABLE: Shows a table of the events on the fiber. Use this screen to quickly see measurements for all events and see the types of events that are on the fiber. The table includes the distance to the event, the loss of the event, the size of the reflection from the event, and the type of the event.
To see details for an event, tap the event in the table.
TRACE: Shows the OTDR trace. Use this screen to see the deadzones of reflective events and examine the characteristics of unexpected events such as ghosts and gainers.

5 Save the Results
6-1 Tap SAVE if the test passed or FIX LATER if the test failed.
6-2 If the Cable ID box shows the correct ID, tap SAVE.
To enter a cable ID, tap the Cable ID box on the SAVE RESULT screen, use the keyboard to enter a name for the results, tap DONE, then tap SAVE.
The tester saves the results in the DEFAULT project, unless you selected a different project.
