Click the [Setup] button, and then click the [test conditions] button to set the test conditions, as shown below:... - Page 22 6. After testing: - If [Auto Test] mode or [Auto Analysis after Sampling] is selected, the OTDR-1500 will automatically analyze the test curve, mark the event points according to the set loss analysis threshold, and give the event list. - Otherwise, click the [Analysis] button in the main menu bar. The OTDR- 1500 will analyze the test curve, mark the event points according to the set loss analysis threshold, and give the event list.

1. Automatic Testing When the OTDR test mode is set to Automatic Test: After the test key is pressed, OTDR-1500 will automatically adjust the test condi- tions to test the connected fiber link. After the test is completed, curve analysis will be performed automatically, and the test curve and event list will be displayed in the main operation window. - Page 24 1550 checkboxes, and click [Enter]. During the test, the device will test at each selected wavelength in turn until all the selected wavelengths have been tested. 2. Measuring range (km): Measuring Range is used to set the curve range of the test. The range of the optical time domain reflectometer is divided into the following stages: 400m, 800m, 1.6km, 3.2km, 8km, 16km, 32km, 64km, 128km, 256km and 512km (the maximum optional range is related to the selected module).
- Page 25 | OTDR-1500 Instruction Manual 8. High resolution test: When this option is selected, the maximum number of sampling points of the in- strument is increased to 256k, which enhances the resolution of events occurring within a short distance. OTDR TEST RESULTS OTDR test results can be selected as follows: average loss, connection loss and reflection loss.

Marker A should be set near the join point, and marker B and marker b should be set on the linear segment of the fiber curve after the connection point. When testing the reflection loss, set marker A in front of the reflection peak to be tested and near the take-off point of the reflection peak.

Page 32: Reasons For Failure Of Curve Test & Analysis
REASONS FOR FAILURE OF CURVE TEST & ANALYSIS If the results are quite different from the expected result (or the expected result does not appear), it may be caused by one of the following reasons: 1. The test curve of the fiber was not obtained. If the test curve only has the front-end reflection peak, and there is no linear curve reflecting the characteristics of the fiber, please check: 1. - Page 33 CONNECTING & USING WIFI To connect to Wifi using the OTDR-1500, please follow the below steps: 1.

Page 38: Appendix
APPENDIX Because the fiber core is very small, dust and other particles may get stuck to the optical output ports, which may cover part of the fiber core, leading to the subpar performance of the device. Dust and particles may also cause the end face of the output port ferrules to wear, which will reduce the accuracy and repeatability of the device. - Page 39 | OTDR-1500 Instruction Manual...
