- Page 8 PROLITE-30B 4.2 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.
- Page 9 PROLITE-30B 4.3 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 No Signal Indicator illuminates.
- Page 10 PROLITE-30B 5.4 Frequency detecting If the tested fiber is carrying 2 kHz, 1 kHz or 270 Hz modulated wave, the respective modulation indicator illuminates and the instrument makes a buzzing sound. Note: The instrument may not recognize the frequency correctly if the signal is too weak or the frequency is not stable.
- Page 11 PROLITE-30B 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.
- Page 12 PROLITE-30B 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" key shortly to start the self-calibration which lasts about 10-30 seconds.

PROLITE-30B 6 Maintenance PROLITE-30B All the specifications of series are tested with cleaned Corning SMF-28TM/SMF- D pure non-dispersion coated fiber. The testing performance will be affected when using different brands or types of fibers with various coating color. Please do not bend the fiber excessively; which may lead to misjudgment on traffic or even breaking the fiber. - Page 15 PROLITE-30B Keep the optical receiver clean and use cleaning oil when testing bare fiber to achieve the best performance. To clean the optical assembly, remove the clamp and gently clean the prism and optical windows using cleaning pads and cleaning oil. Do not immerse the plunger assembly in alcohol.
