MultiFiber Pro Getting Started Guide

Accessing the Users Manual

This guide provides basic information to help you get started

using the MultiFiber™Pro meter and source. For additional

information, see the MultiFiber Pro Users Manual on the Fluke

Networks website.

Safety

Warning

To prevent possible eye damage caused by hazardous

radiation, do not look directly into optical connectors

(see page 2). Some sources produce invisible radiation

that can permanently damage your eyes.

Caution

To prevent damage to fiber connectors, to prevent

data loss, and to ensure maximum accuracy of test

results, use proper cleaning procedures to clean all

fiber connectors before every use. Cover all connectors

with protective caps when not in use.

Read the additional safety information in the

MultiFiber Pro Users Manual before you use the meter

or source.



Modes for the meter and settings for tests. To select the

POWER, SET REF, or LOSS measurement modes, press .

To change settings for measurements or to view records,

hold down for 2.5 seconds, then use  and to

make selections.



POWER: Use this mode to measure optical power. See

"How to Measure Optical Power" on page 10.



SET REF: Use this mode to set the reference for loss

measurements. See "Set the Reference" on page 11.



LOSS: Use this mode to measure loss. See "Measure Loss"

on page 14.



LOSS LIMIT: Use this mode to set the limit for loss

measurements. See "Set the Limit" on page 13.



VIEW RECORD: Use this mode to see and delete saved

results. See "Memory Functions" on page 16.

Meter Display Features



: There is a problem with a measurement, or you tried

to save a measurement, but the memory is full.

OK: All measurements are satisfactory, or the meter saved

the results.



POLARITY: The polarity of the connections between the

meter and source:



A, B, C: The connections use a standard method, A, B, or

C. See the Users Manual.



POLARITY ?: The connections do not use a standard

method, one or more fibers are not connected, or SCAN

ALL is off on the source.



UNIV: Shows when modules have the Corning Plug &

Play™Universal Systems method of polarity

management.



2 kHz: The meter detects a 2 kHz modulated optical signal.

This function helps you identify fibers at patch panels.



SAVE: When SAVE shows, you can press to save the

power or loss measurement or the reference value.



: The arrow icons show when you can use or

to scroll through selections or change settings.



CHANNEL: When you measure power or loss, press to

scroll through the measurements for the channels.



: When the source is not in auto wavelength mode, press

to change the wavelength.



DELETE: In VIEW RECORD mode, use DELETE to delete

the selected record or all records. See "Memory Functions"

on page 16.



Numeric display with units for loss (dB) and power

measurements (mW, µW, dBm).



REF (reference): Shows when you save the reference level.

See "Set the Reference" on page 11.

MultiFiber Pro Getting Started Guide



: Channel indicator. When the source’s SCAN ALL

function is on, the channel indicator is on the channel that

you select. When the source’s SCAN ALL function is off, the

indicator stays on the channel you select on the source.

The numbers for the channels flash in sequence when the

meter measures power or loss.



The bargraphs show relative value of the loss or power

measurement for each channel. For power measurements,

see 10. For loss measurements, see page 15.



Numeric display for the wavelength.



: When the batteries are low, the low battery icon

flashes.



AUTO shows when the source transmits a wavelength

identifier, and the meter changes its wavelength setting to

agree with the source. When only shows, you must press

on the meter to select the correct wavelength. See

page "Polarity Detection" on page 9.



: This icon shows when the meter is connected to a PC

through the USB port.
