Measuring Loss
1
Set the reference as described on page 23.
2
Clean the connectors on the link to be tested and on a
second test reference cord. Use fiber optic solvent and
optical-grade wipes or swabs to clean connectors as
described on page 13.
3
Disconnect the test reference cord from the meter;
then make the connections shown in Figure 11.
Caution
Do not disconnect the test reference cord from the
source’s output. If you do, you must set the
reference again to ensure valid measurements.
4
On the meter, press until LOSS appears (Figure 12).
5
If the source’s AUTO LED is not on, press .
6
If you want the source to automatically switch
wavelengths, press until the wavelength LEDs blink
alternately. Or you may press
to switch wavelengths
as needed.
Note
If you are not using a SimpliFiber Pro source, set the
source to the desired wavelength and to
continuous wave output. On the meter, press
to select the wavelength generated by the source.
7
To save the measurement, press SAVE. The meter
briefly shows the record number and OK.
If the source was automatically switching wavelengths,
the m
eter saves measurements for all wavelengths in
one record.
