Furukawa OFS V-System User manual

Before you get started:

• Make sure all optical ends

are clean to avoid poor in-

sertion loss readings and

prevent contamination of

the optical ports on the test

units.

• Annual calibration is

recommended.

CAUTION:

Never look directly into the

output ports of the light

source or the ends of a fiber

optic connector. he light may

not always be visible, but can

still cause damage to the eye.

• urn on LIGHT SOURCE by

pulling up on the TOGGLE

SWITCH and moving it to

the left or the right, select-

ing appropriate wavelength.

NOTE:

o turn off light source, pull

up on toggle switch and move

to center position.

• Insert ST®CONNECTOR

end of LAUNCH JUMPER

into appropriate wavelength

port on Light Source.

• Insert other connector end of

Launch Jumper into Adapter

Cap on Power Meter.

• Zero the Power Meter by

pressing and holding down

the Ref button until HELD

and 0.0 dB is displayed.

NOTE:

It is recommended to re-zero

the Power Meter at least every

30 minutes.

• Disconnect connector end

of Launch Jumper from

adapter cap on Power

Meter and insert into

SPLICE BUSHING.

• Insert one connector end of

the DEVICE UNDER TEST

(DUT) into the Splice Bush-

ing.

• Insert the other connector

end of the DU into the

Adapter Cap on the Power

Meter.

• he number on the Power

Meter display represents the

insertion loss due to the

connector at the Splice

Bushing plus the attenuation

through the length of cable.

• urn on POWER METER by

pressing button.

NOTE:

o disable the 5-minute,

automatic-shutdown battery

saver feature, hold down the

button until Pis displayed.

• On the Power Meter press

the dB/dBm button until dB

is displayed.

• On Power Meter press “λ"

button until appropriate

wavelength is displayed.

• Install appropriate

ADAPTER CAP onto Power

Meter.

• Allow 2 minutes for test set

to stabilize.
