Furukawa OFS V-System Quick Start Manual

Quick Start Guide
Test Kit

Before you get started:

• Make sure all optical ends
are clean to avoid poor in-
sertion loss readings and
prevent contamination of
the optical ports on the test
units.
• Annual calibration is
recommended.
(Procedure illustrates insertion loss by single-ended test method. Refer to booklet for loss by substitution method.)
CAUTION:
Never look directly into the
output ports of the light
source or the ends of a fiber
optic connector. The light may
not always be visible, but can
still cause damage to the eye.
• Turn on LIGHT SOURCE by
pulling up on the TOGGLE
SWITCH and moving it to
the left or the right, select-
ing appropriate wavelength.
NOTE:
To turn off light source, pull
up on toggle switch and move
to center position.

into appropriate wavelength
port on Light Source.
• Insert other connector end of
Launch Jumper into Adapter
Cap on Power Meter.
• Zero the Power Meter by
pressing and holding down
the Ref button until HELD
and 0.0 dB is displayed.
NOTE:
It is recommended to re-zero
the Power Meter at least every
30 minutes.
• Disconnect connector end
of Launch Jumper from
adapter cap on Power
Meter and insert into
SPLICE BUSHING.

the DEVICE UNDER TEST
(DUT) into the Splice Bush-
ing.
• Insert the other connector
end of the DUT into the
Adapter Cap on the Power
Meter.
• The number on the Power
Meter display represents the
insertion loss due to the
connector at the Splice
Bushing plus the attenuation
through the length of cable.
