Cleaning the Fiber Connections

Always clean the fiber endfaces before making connections. Use any of the
following:
Lint-free swabs or wipes moistened with isopropyl alcohol
Pre-moistened swabs or wipes approved for use on fiber connectors
Cassette-style cleaning devices designed for use on fiber connectors
(follow the manufacturer's instructions for use)
Canned air approved for use on fiber connectors is also useful for dislodging
contamination. Protect all connectors with dust caps when not in use.

Verifying Operation

Use the DSP-4000 test tool's self-test feature to verify that the DSP-FTA410
units are working properly, as follows:
1.
Clean all fiber connections.
2.
Connect as shown in Figure 4.
3.
Run the self test from the test tool's SPECIAL FUNCTIONS mode.
4.
If the self test fails, verify that your patch cords are good, clean the fiber
endfaces; then run the self test again. If it continues to fail, contact Fluke
as described under "Contacting Fluke".
