To prevent damage to fiber connectors, to prevent
data loss, and to make sure that your test results are
as accurate as possible:
•
Do not connect APC connectors to the meter. An APC
connector will cause damage to the fiber endface in
the connector on the meter. See Figure 3.
•
Use only patch cords that comply with GR-326-CORE
specifications. Other patch cords can cause unreliable
measurements.
•
Use the correct procedures to clean all fiber connectors
before each test. If you do not do this or if you use
incorrect procedures, you can get unreliable test
results and can cause permanent damage to the
connectors.
•
Put protective caps on all connectors when you do not
use them.
•
Do not connect the meter to a network that is on. If
you do, the meter can cause problems in the network.
•
If ACTIVE LINE blinks, immediately disconnect the
meter from the fiber. Optical power levels more than
+7 dBm can cause damage to the detector in the
meter.
