Setting the Number of Adapters and Splices

The NUMBER OF ADAPTERS and NUMBER OF SPLICES
settings are on the Loss/Length tab in Setup. These settings
do not apply to all test limits.
Test limits that include maximum values for the loss per km,
loss per connector, and loss per splice use a calculated limit
for loss. Only limits with all three values use a calculated loss
limit. The OVERALL LOSS value should be N/A in these limits.
If a loss value is entered, it is ignored.
62
To see the limit's values, select TEST LIMIT on the Loss/Length
A
tab; then press View Limit.
If the selected limit uses a calculated loss limit, enter the
number of adapters and splices that will be added to the
fiber path after the reference is set.
Figure 25 shows an example of how to determine the
NUMBER OF ADAPTERS setting.
