•
Use only patch cords that comply with GR-326-CORE
specifications and have UPC connectors. Other patch
cords can cause unreliable measurements.
•
Use the correct procedures to clean all fiber connectors
before each test. If you do not do this or if you use
incorrect procedures, you can get unreliable test
results and can cause permanent damage to the
connectors.
•
Put protective caps on all connectors when you do not
use them.
•
If you use the LC adapter: When your work with the
LC adapter is completed, replace it with the SC adapter
and put the protective cap on the SC adapter.
•
Do not connect the troubleshooter to a network that
is on. If you do, the troubleshooter can cause problems
in the network.
•
If ACTIVE LINE blinks, immediately disconnect the
troubleshooter from the fiber. Optical power levels
more than +7 dBm can cause damage to the detector
in the troubleshooter.
•
The troubleshooter senses optical signals only at
850 nm. If there might be signals at other wavelengths
on a fiber, use a different instrument to make sure that
the fiber is not active before you connect the
troubleshooter to the fiber.
