Page 6: Introducing The Tg-300B/Lfd-300B Fiberfinder
Introducing the TG-300B/LFD-300B FiberFinder 1 Introducing the TG-300B/LFD-300B FiberFinder The FiberFinder detects traffic and measures optical signals transmitted through singlemode fibers without having to disconnect them. It uses a proven macrobending technique, with an insertion loss of less than 1 dB, that does not disrupt traffic allowing you to safely work on live fibers. - Page 7 Fiber Modulator LED: Indicates if the low-frequency modulation was emitted by the TG300B. Positioning LED: Blinks while the clamping mechanism presses on the fiber. ON/OFF and battery status LED: Is constantly lit while the unit is running and blinking when the batteries are low.

Operating the TG-300B/LFD-300B FiberFinder 2 Operating the TG-300B/LFD-300B FiberFinder You can identify live or dark fibers using the TG-300B as the transmitter and the LFD-300B as the receiver. You can also determine if a fiber is live or dark using the LFD300B. AUTION Do not use your units with fibers of which diameters are smaller than 900 μm as the pressure could damage them. -

Failure to do so can cause the fiber to be bent by the clamping pressure and create a loss over the guaranteed 1 dB. EXFO shall not be held liable for any damage arising out either from the incorrect use nor the use of the unit which does not respect the operation instructions. -
