Otdr fiber tester manual.

With the rapid advancements in fiber optic technology otdr testing methods have become indispensable to building certifying maintaining and troubleshooting fiber optic systems. Connect the fiber to the appropriate port. To conduct a manual test if using the otdr as the light source perform reference procedure as above and place fiber under test in line between the reference cord and the power meter port. Use the directional buttons to highlight the icon on the left side of the display.

Do the otdr test 4 1 clean and inspect the connectors on the launch and tail cords and the fiber to be tested. Clean all connectors and mating adapters. 4 2 connect the tester to the link as shown in figure 4. In manual mode all the otdr parameters can be adjusted in the otdr setup menu.

The basics of fiber testing. Watch now overcoming the challenges of testing dwdm channels. Chapter 11 fibercomplete modules saving results and generating a report note in unidir bidir modes the wavelengths selected for il orl are also used for otdr testing. The otdr allows you to characterize a fiber optic span usually optical fiber sections joined by splices and connectors.

Attach cable to test to end of launch cable. Auto pon otdr the tester automatically selects settings that give you the best view of the events on osp outside plant cabling. Attach receive cable if used to far end of cable. Press to cycle through the wavelengths and choose the wavelength to be tested.

After test returns user to otdr home page in manual mode where user may change any setting for next tests. The optical time domain reflectometer otdr provides an inside view of the fiber and can calculate fiber length attenuation breaks total return loss as well as splice connector and total losses. Revision d 8 30 2011 1 0 otdr quick start guide press to turn on the otdr. Ensure you are in menu mode and scroll to source soft key.

Turn on otdr and allow time to warm up 2. 4 3 tap test or press. Optical time domain reflectometer otdr is an instrument used to create a virtual picture of a fiber optic cable route. Passive optical lan testing.

Press to cycle to the desired wavelength the otdr will start a scan at the parameters displayed. Optifiber pro hdr provides two pon test suites. Auto pon otdr and manual pon otdr. If approximate fiber length is not known.

Set up test parameters on otdr. If set to auto once otdr sets range pulse width time and filter for the first test. Attach launch cable to otdr. Note to go from one tab to the other one press the r button or with touch.

The tester automatically uses the discover function to identify splitters. Passive optical network pon testing.
