Basic Live Traffic Identifier 1. Specifications 1.1 Optical Specifications Included Plungers: H 0.9 for bare fibers, H 0.25 for tightly buffered fibers, H 3.0 for jacketed fibers Detecting Sensitivity: ≤ 50 dBm Detector Type: InGaAa 2pcs Recognizable Signal Type: CW, 270 Hz ±5%, 1 kHz ±5%, 2 kHz ±5% Recognizable Wavelength Range: 900 nm–1650 nm Table 1-1. -
Page 7: Overview
Simply clamp the FOLTIB onto a fiber and the instrument will indicate if there is a signal or traffic and show the signal direction. It can detect a variety of optical tones: 270 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz. -
Page 8: Operation
3. Operation Batteries The FOLTIB identifier is powered by two 1.5-V AA batteries. There is a low-battery indicator on the panel board. It lights if there is not enough power supplied to the FOLTIB. If this happens, replace the batteries with new ones. To replace the batteries, remove the battery plate on the back side of the unit with a Philips screwdriver. -

Chapter 4: Using the Basic Live Traffic Identifier 4.3 Detecting Traffic If the tested fiber is carrying a signal, a traffic indicator lights to show the direction, left or right. See Figures 4-5 and 4-6. Figure 4-5. Signal traveling right to left. Figure 4-6. -
Page 14: Detecting Frequency
Basic Live Traffic Identifier 4.4 Detecting Frequency If the tested fiber is carrying a 2 kHz, 1 kHz, or 270 Hz modulated wave, the respective modulation indicator lights and the identifier makes a buzzing sound. Figure 4-8. Modulation indicator. NOTE: The identifier might not recognize the frequency correctly if the signal is too weak or the frequency is not stable. -
Page 15: Signal Intensity
Chapter 4: Using the Basic Live Traffic Identifier 4.5 Signal Intensity The signal intensity indicator on the front-panel board lights to tell you how strong the signal is. There are five LEDs aligned vertically. If more LEDs light, the signal is stronger. Figure 4-9. -

Basic Live Traffic Identifier 5. Maintenance 1. The FOLTIB identifiers are tested with cleaned Corning SMF-28TM/SMF-D pure ® non-dispersion coated fiber. If you use different brands or types of fiber with various coating colors, the testing performance will be affected. - Page 17 Chapter 5: Maintenance 3. Keep the optical receiver clean and use cleaning oil when testing bare fiber to achieve the best performance. 4. To clean the optical assembly, remove the clamp and gently clean the prism and optical windows using cleaning pads and cleaning oil. Do not immerse the plunger assembly in alcohol.
