OUTPUT PORT MAINTENANCE
The LSSM utilizes a physical fiber connection at the output port. It ensures a steady power level for performing
insertion loss tests.
Ensure that any test jumpers are inspected and cleaned before plugging into the LSSM unit. If soiled or damaged
connectors are inserted, they can cause damage to the LSSM output port and the unit may need to be repaired.
Test Jumper has physical contact with the
ferrule inside the LSSM
TO CLEAN THE FERRULE:
•
Unplug the test jumper
•
Unscrew the adapter until it spins freely, then pull
•
Inspect the ferrule with an approved microscope,
clean if necessary, and replace adapter
USING THE 2KHZ FUNCTION
When the LSSM's 2kHz modulation is active, the selected wavelength indicator will blink. The modulation
is recognized by optical power meters further down the fiber and indicated by a 2kHz notification on the
screen and a loud beep. The modulated tone can also be recognized through the fiber jacket when a Fiber
Identifier is used.
The Fiber Identifier introduces a bend into the fiber which leaks light from the core onto the detector of the
power meter. When using a Fiber Identifier, expect a 30 to 35dB offset in core power.
