By simply clamping the OFI-3 onto a fiber, the instrument will indicate if there is a signal, or traffic and show the signal direction. It can detect a variety of optical tones, 270Hz, 1KHz and 2KHz.
Grandway products are warranted against the defective components and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of delivery to the original customer. Any product found to be defective within the warranty period would be returned to Grandway authorized service center for repair, replacement and calibration.
OFI-3 / Safety Information 3 Safety Information Warnings! Never look directly into optical outputs or a fiber while the equipment is on.Invisible laser beam may damage your eyes. Do not short-circuit the terminal of AC adapter / charger and the batteries.Excessive electrical current may cause personal injury due to fumes,electric shock or equipment damage.
We suggest that you keep the original packing material. Using the original packing material is your guarantee of protecting the instrument during transit. Checking the package contents The standard accessories of OFI-3 are as follows: Main unit User's Guide Plungers 2*1.5V Alkaline Batteries...
4.2 Battery The OFI-3 instrument is powered by two 1.5V AA batteries. There is a “Low” battery indicator on the panel board. It turns on if there is not enough power to supply the instrument. That is when you should replace the battery with a new one.
OFI-3 / Operation 5 Operation 5.1 Controls and connectors 5.1.1 Front (Panel Board) Note Key / Indicator Three available types: H0.25mm, H0.9mm, H2.0mm, H3.0mm. Plunger A slot to place tested fiber. Fiber Groove PD Headstock Lights up if there is not a signal in tested fiber.

OFI-3 / Operation 5.2 Powering on the instrument Gently insert the tested fiber into the groove at the top of instrument. Pull the clamping trigger slowly to depress the fiber against the optical assembly. The instrument powers on when the detector plunger has closed and the fiber is in the appropriate position.
OFI-3 / Operation 5.3 Traffic detecting If the tested fiber is carrying signal, a Traffic Indicator illuminates to show the direction, left or right. When no signal is present or the signal to be tested is too weak for the instrument to detect, the...
OFI-3 / Operation 5.4 Frequency detecting If the tested fiber is carrying 2kHz, 1kHz or 270Hz modulated wave, the respective modulation indicator illuminates and the instrument makes a buzzing sound. AD JU ST Note: The instrument may not recognize the frequency correctly if the signal is too weak or the frequency is not stable.
OFI-3 / Operation 5.5 Signal intensity The signal intensity indicator on the panel board lights up to tell you how strong the signal is. There are 5 LEDS aligning in a line. More of them illuminate meaning the signal is stronger.
OFI-3 / Operation 5.6 Self-calibrating The instrument may need a little adjustment after long-term disuse or a sudden change of the environment such as temperature or light variation. Change the plunger to the H0.25 type, pull the clamping trigger, then press the "Adjust"...
