5.1 OTDR Mode

The OTDR function is used to characterize optical fibers, locate faults, and measure loss. The device supports both Automatic and Expert modes.

Image: The OTDR settings screen, displaying options for Wavelength, Range, Pulse, Average Time, Event Loss Threshold, Return Loss Threshold, and Unit settings.

1. From the main menu, select 'OTDR'.
2. Choose between 'Auto-Test' for simplified operation or 'Expert Mode' for manual parameter configuration.
3. In Expert Mode, set parameters such as Wavelength (1310nm or 1550nm), Range, Pulse Width, and Averaging Time.
4. Press 'Test' to begin the OTDR measurement.
5. The device will display the trace curve and event information.

5.2 Event Map Function

The Event Map simplifies complex OTDR traces into an easy-to-understand graphical representation of events along the fiber link.

1. After an OTDR test, select the 'Event Map' option.
2. The screen will display icons representing different events (e.g., splices, connectors, breaks) and their locations.
3. Use the navigation buttons to scroll through events and view enfòmasyon detaye.

5.3 Mèt Pouvwa Optik (OPM)

The OPM measures the optical power level of a fiber optic signal.

1. From the main menu, select 'OPM'.
2. Connect the fiber to be measured to the OPM port.
3. The device will display the optical power in dBm or mW.

5.4 Lokalizatè Vizyèl Defo (VFL)

The VFL emits a visible red laser light into the fiber to quickly locate breaks, bends, or faulty connectors over short distances (up to 10km).

1. From the main menu, select 'VFL'.
2. Connect the fiber to the VFL port.
3. Activate the VFL. Observe the fiber for any visible light leakage, indicating a fault.
4. Atansyon: Avoid direct eye exposure to the VFL laser light.

NAN. Depanaj

7.1 Inaccurate OTDR Readings

• Pwoblèm: Trace appears noisy or events are not clearly defined.
  Solisyon: Ensure all fiber connectors are clean. Increase the averaging time in OTDR settings. Check for proper connection of launch/receive cables.
• Pwoblèm: Incorrect distance measurements.
  Solisyon: Verify the Refractive Index (IOR) setting in the OTDR parameters matches the fiber type being tested.

7.2 VFL Not Emitting Light

• Pwoblèm: No red light from the VFL port.
  Solisyon: Check if the VFL function is activated in the menu. Ensure the fiber is properly connected. If the issue persists, the VFL laser may be faulty; contact support.

7.3 Aparèy la pa limen

• Pwoblèm: Aparèy la pa vire.
  Solisyon: Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged. Connect the device to the power adapter and try again. If the battery is completely depleted, it may take a few minutes of charging before the device can power on.

7.4 RJ45 Cable Test Failure

• Pwoblèm: RJ45 cable test shows errors.
  Solisyon: Ensure both ends of the RJ45 cable are securely connected to the main unit and the remote unit. Check the cable for visible damage or improper crimping.
