How To Do an Auto SmartLoop Test

Set Up SmartLoop Launch Compensation

On the home screen, tap the test setup panel.
1
On the CHANGE TEST screen, tap the button next to the Auto
2
SmartLoop test, then tap USE SELECTED.
If an Auto SmartLoop test is not available, tap NEW TEST to add
one to the project. Select settings as necessary on the TEST
SETUP screen. See "Settings for HDR OTDR Tests" on page 406.
Select three launch cords that have the same type of fiber as
3
the fiber you will test. The connectors must be the correct
type for each connection you will make. If necessary, you can
connect two launch cords together to make a loopback cord
that has the same connectors on both ends.
On the home screen, tap SET COMP.
4
On the SET LAUNCH METHOD screen tap SmartLoop.
5
Clean and inspect the OTDR port and connectors on the three
6
launch cords.
Make the connections shown in Figure 183.
7
Tap SET.
8
When the SET LAUNCH COMP screen shows, make sure the
9
tester shows the correct distances for the end of the launch
cord and the start of the tail cord.
If the fibers have APC connectors, the tester
possibly will not find the correct launch and tail
events. If this occurs, do the compensation again
and select Manual Entry to enter the lengths of
the cords manually.
