Advantest D3186 Pulse Pattern Generator, D3286 Error
With more than 25 years of expertise in repairing OSA, Tunable Lasers, Wavemeters, Attenuators,
Power Meters, Sonet/SDH/PPG/ED and many more, the quality of our services is renowned amongst
the service centers community and highly appreciated by our partners and customers. The Advantest
D3186 and D3286 pairs are a fairly old design but still very useful knowing that current
telecommunication technologies are moving to 10Gb/s to the home. Simbol has been testing PPGs
and EDs since the business started. Don't settle for a one-page summary assessment with only one
rate and one data pattern tested to be sure your equipment is up to specs. Many results are needed to
confirm it has really been tested. We have seen ISO 17025 certified labs incomplete reports making
your operations at risk. So, a report from other labs with less data points than ours reflects a not
completely calibrated unit. Also be careful of other sellers saying their equipment is "tested good",
"powered on, self-tested", "pulled from a working environment". When you choose AssetRelay, you can
be confident that we actually test everything we sell so you know it will work when it gets to your
workplace. Optical equipment needs more than just power on to be proven working!
Advantest D3186 PPG and D3286 ED repair, calibration and maintenance
All BERT equipment goes through a premium calibration to ensure it meets or exceeds manufacturer's
published specifications. The equipment is shipped with a comprehensive 10 pages calibration
certificate including all data (7 pages) and a calibration sticker. A report from other labs with less data
points reflects a not completely calibrated unit.
Simbol Test Systems has limited capability to repair these units. If your unit does not pass calibration,
we will quote to get your BERT equipment repaired and back to perfect working condition.
