INSTRUCTION MANUAL

OPTICAL FIBER
Read this instruction manual carefully
before operating the equipment.
Adhere to all safety instructions and
warnings contained in this manual.
Keep this manual in a safe place.
External light detecting function
When external light such as sunlight is detected, both sides of the direction
indicator will turn on simultaneously. In case the external light is strong,
identifier function will not perform properly, so please cover the plunger
portion by hand and this will solve the problem.
Please refer to Page 25 for details.
ONU detecting function
When you see the message "Require optimization for use in your region"
or don't find appropriate settings after accessing the "ONU Setup" menu,
this means the function is not activated yet in your region. After obtaining
the ONU signal in your region, AFL will release a firmware upgrade to
activate the function for the OFI-BI. Please consult your local AFL
distributor for more information.

    ． Power Supply Battery Operation (1) Lift and remove the battery cover on the reverse side of the OFI-BI. (2) Place batteries into the battery compartment on the orientation imprinted side of the compartment. (3) Put on the battery cover.

  • Page 13: Description

    The tone signal light source is connected to one end of an optical fiber to be monitored and incidence of the light is carried along the fiber. At the working place, the OFI-BI clamps the relevant optical fiber and light signals propagate from the bend and are detected by sensors within the OFI-BI.

  • Page 14: 2． Functions Of Ofi-Bi

    Description ． Functions of OFI-BI OFI-BI has the following function. (1) Identifier Function  The indicator LEDs representing the type of input light when the device detects any tone signal, traffic light or ONU signal. The buzzer also sounds to inform any input is detected.

  • Page 15: 3． Display Of Ofi-Bi

    Zeroing Measurement result Detected: This indicates that the OFI-BI detects a tone signal or traffic light. No Signal: This indicates that the OFI-BI detects no signal. LCD may have a few points of black dot or bright dot. And seeing display may be hard depend on viewing angle.

  • Page 16: 1． Cleaning The Optical Detector

    How to Attach the Plunger (1) Put the plunger down onto the two retaining pins. (2) Hold both sides of the plunger cover and set its ends to the groove of the OFI-BI body. Then push it in till it clicks.

  • Page 17: 3． Zeroing

    “ZEROING” disappears. Now Zeroing (indicator blinks) (3) The zeroing function finishes after a few seconds. If there is no error, the OFI-BI beeps 1 time and shows “- - -” (Under Range). If an error occurs, the OFI-BI beeps 3 times and shows “-E1-” that blinks intermittently. To quit from the error indication, press the ZERO key again.

  • Page 18: 4． Signal Selection

    Different combinations of signal types can be selected in Identifier Setup menus. * Default : 270Hz,1kHz,2kHz and Traffic (detect all but ONU) 4.1 How to confirm settings (1) Pull the trigger to turn on the OFI-BI. (2) Press the MENU key. (3) Tap the Identifier Setup box.

  • Page 21: 6． Measurement Mode

    The OFI-BI has FAST, NORMAL and FINE mode for measurement mode which determines the detecting sensitivity for signals. Since the sensitivity on FINE mode is about 20 times as high as NORMAL mode, the OFI-BI can detect lesser faint signals with the FINE mode.

  • Page 22: Measurement

    Hold the fiber in the fiber groove correctly when pulling the trigger. Incorrect clamping may cause damage to the fiber. (3) The OFI-BI estimates the power of signals transmitting through the fiber cable by measuring leaked light from clamping point and then informs the measurement result by LED indicators and the buzzer.
