Power-Up/Power-Down
To Power-Up:
1. Press the Menu/Power key.
2. The first splash screen shows the
diagnostic self-test.
3. When the test is passed, Top Menu is
displayed including OTDR, PON
Power Meter, Power Meter, Light
Source and Loss Test Set application
buttons*. Some application can be
launched automatically by setting in
the Auto Launch,F3 key at Top
Menu.
The message Initialization Failed is
displayed if the power-up self test is
failed.
*Displayed application buttons depend
on module type

6
To Power-Down:

key at each screen to display the pop-up
window.
2. Highlight Help and press the Set key

Investigating Fiber Abnormalities
(Faults)
Fault locations in the fiber with loss and
reflection can be checked.
Setting Measurement Conditions
1. Press the Menu/Power key.
2. Use the arrow keys to select OTDR
and press the Set key.

8
3. OTDR Test Setup screen is displayed,
select Wavelength, Test Mode. The
other parameters can be selected
automatically in the Full Auto mode.
4. Or select proper Range, Resolution,
Pulsewidth and Averaging manually
using the arrow keys and set key.

9
Starting Measurement
1. Press Start.
2. Measurement starts automatically when
Good is displayed at the Connection
Check screen. If FAIR or POOR is
displayed, press either the F3 Continue
or the Start key to start measurement.
If a “live” communications signal is
detected, it needs to be off before
proceeding the test.

10
Trace View Screen
•When the measurement is finished, the
Trace View screen appears.
•If you look at Trace Analysis screen, press
F4 Trace View to move Trace View Screen.
Some fault locations in the fiber can be detected
automatically. The two cursors help to check the
fiber manually. 2-pt loss, dB/km loss, splice loss
and ORL can be calculated using these cursors.

11
Trace Analysis screen
•When the measurement is finished, the
Trace Analysis screen appears.
•If you look at Trace View screen, press F4
Trace Analysis to move Trace Analysis
Screen.
Some fault locations can be shown as an event
list including No, Distance, Type(Refer to the
next page), Loss and Reflection of the fault
point.

12
Event Type
Icon Type Description
Reflective Reflection from splice
point
Non-
Reflective
Non-reflective events
include such low loss
events as fusion splices
and Macro Bends.
Grouped Events spaced too
close to each other for
analysis to distinguish
them as separate
events are reported as
Grouped events.
Far End Any event with a loss
equal to or greater
than the Fiber End
threshold is reported
as the Far End event.

Reports as an event
“Macro Bend” when
the detected event
exceeds the specified
threshold for the
Macro Bend.

Using PON Power Meter
The PON Power Meter can be measured the
optical power level of 1490nm and 1550nm
respectively even if the signal is inputted
simultaneously in the FTTx PON network.
The PON power meter can be used with the
