Summary of Contents for Platinum Tools PT-OTDR-100

  • Page 1 PT-OTDR-100 Manual...
  • Page 2 Thank you for purchasing the Platinum Tools mini OTDR tester. Before using it, please read the manual thoroughly to ensure proper usage. For safe operation of the OTDR tester, carefully review the "Safety Information" section in the manual. Keep the manual in a secure place for future reference.

  • Page 3: Battery Installation

    1. Battery Installation Note: The tester includes a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery. For safety during transportation, the battery cable inside the battery compartment should be disconnected. Before using the instrument, ensure that the battery cables inside the battery compartment are properly connected. To power on or off the tester, press the power key continuously.

  • Page 4: Operation Sequence

    2.3 Operation Sequence Fiber Connection → Parameter Setup → Testing → Tracer Viewing • 2.31 Fiber Connection Connect the fiber to the top optical interface of the OTDR using an SC-UPC optical connector. Note: When using the OTDR to measure optical fiber, ensure no active light exists in the measured optical fiber to prevent damage to the instrument.

    2.33 Expert OTDR Test Manually select parameters such as range and pulse width for more precise test results. Zoom in on the curve tracer and view detailed event maps. Quick tests can configure parameters like laser wavelength, distance range, pulse width, and measurement duration.
  • Page 6 2. Parameter Setting Laser Wavelength: User-selectable options include 1310nm, 1550nm, and • 1610nm for single mode fiber. Up to two wavelengths can be simultaneously selected for measurement and analysis, but only under average measurement mode. Distance Range: Options include "auto, 500m, 1Km, 2Km, 5Km, 10Km, 25Km, •...
  • Page 7 3. Threshold Setting In the Event Map, set thresholds for evaluating fusion and connector points: • Total Loss: Fiber link loss, range 0-60dB. Reflection Loss (Connector): Loss at connectors, range 0-60dB. Non-reflection Loss (Fusion Point): Loss at fusion or bend points, range 0- 60dB.
  • Page 8 2.35 Trace Tool To initiate testing after configuring and saving parameters, click "Start." The • interface will display the selected wavelength, distance range, pulse width, measurement duration, and refractivity. Upon completion of testing, a trace will be generated. Click "Stop" to conclude the testing process. Trace Definition: Following the initial measurement, the trace presents the •...
  • Page 9 Initial Event: The "initial event" on the OTDR trace marks the starting point of the • optical fiber. By default, it appears at the first event, typically the initial connector of the OTDR, in the tested optical fiber. This event is classified as a reflection event. End Event: The "end event"...
  • Page 10 indicates the nth event currently displayed on the trace graph. "Category" specifies the event type. "Position" denotes the distance from the optical fiber's initial point to the event point. "Plug-in loss" quantifies the event's insertion loss. "Attenuation coefficient" details the fiber's attenuation properties from the last event to the current one.
  • Page 11 Scale Plate Information • The scale plate information comprises details such as the position of points A or B, • plug-in loss at points A or B, backscattering coefficient at points A or B, accumulated loss at points A or B, distance of the A-B section, loss between the two points of the A-B section, attenuation coefficient between the two points of the A-B section, and LSA (local specific attenuation) coefficient of the A-B section.
