Environment Light Calibration Calibration button Push down the trigger of the fiber identifier and hold, then long press the button. Until the beep be on and the the screen shows "CAL", the environment light calibration is finished.
Operation Put the fiber into the fiber location and push down the trigger to begin testing. After 1~3 seconds, it output the results. The data in the LCD means the signal intensity, if the power value is over +5dBm, it will be "HI", if the value is less than -40dBm, it will be "LO".
Signal Direction Right to left Left to right It is the main function to test the direction of the signal in the fiber. When signal is transporting in the fiber, the corresponding indicative led will be on.
Optical Power Meter Power key Laser source wavelength switch key When the optical fiber identifier has OPM mode, press key to turn on the device, short press ON/OFF ON/OFF to select the laser source wavelength. Open the cap in the bottom of the device and connect the fiber correctly, the device will calculate the power value automatically.
Visual Fault Locator GLINT >2s SAVE >2s SAVE Power key Glint key When the optical fiber identifier has VFL mode,press key to turn on the device, press again to shut ON/OFF down. Open the cap in the bottom of the device, and press the key to open or close the flash laser.
Power saving Optical Fiber Identifier >2s SAVE >2s SAVE Power key Press to turn on the optical power meter or visual ON/OFF ON/OFF fault locator with auto power off( After 10 minutes no key pressed, it will auto power off. Press the key for 2 seconds when turn on the ON/OFF...
