Introduction
The FIBER QUICKMAP™Multimode Troubleshooter does these
tests to help you find incidents on multimode fiber optic cables:
 Maps the connections in multimode fiber plants by
showing the number of incidents on the fiber and the
distance to each incident.
 Measures the length of multimode fiber optic cables
 Measures the distance to reflective and loss incidents
 Measures the reflectance of connectors

Safety Information
Warning: Class 1 Laser
To prevent possible damage to your eyes caused by
hazardous radiation:
 Do not look directly into optical connectors. Some
optical equipment emits invisible radiation that can
cause permanent damage to your eyes.
 Do not turn on the troubleshooter unless a fiber is
attached to the port.
Warning or Caution: Risk of damage to or destruction of
equipment or software. See explanations in the manual.
Warning: Risk of electrical shock.
Warning: Class 1 laser. Risk of damage to your eyes caused
by hazardous radiation.

Safety Information
 Do not use a magnifying device to look at the optical
outputs without the correct filter.
 Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures that are
not in this manual can cause exposure to hazardous
radiation.
Caution
To prevent damage to fiber connectors, to prevent
data loss, and to make sure that your test results are
as accurate as possible:
 Do not connect APC connectors to the troubleshooter.
An APC connector will cause damage to the fiber
endface in the connector on the troubleshooter.
 Use only test cords that comply with GR-326-CORE
specifications and have UPC connectors. Other test
cords can cause unreliable measurements.
 Use the correct procedures to clean all fiber connectors
before each test. If you do not do this or if you use
incorrect procedures, you can get unreliable test
results and can cause permanent damage to the
connectors.
 Put protective caps on all connectors when you do not
use them.
 Do not connect the troubleshooter to a network that
is on. If you do, the troubleshooter can cause problems
in the network.
 If ACTIVE LINE blinks, immediately disconnect the
troubleshooter from the fiber. Optical power levels
more than +7 dBm can cause damage to the detector
in the troubleshooter.

 The troubleshooter senses optical signals only at
850 nm. If there might be signals at other wavelengths
on a fiber, use a different instrument to make sure that
the fiber is not active before you connect the
troubleshooter to the fiber.

 When you press , the troubleshooter looks for an
850 nm optical signal on the fiber. If there is an 850 nm
signal stronger than -15 dBm on the fiber, ACTIVE LINE
blinks and the troubleshooter will not do a test.
Caution
If ACTIVE LINE blinks, immediately disconnect the
troubleshooter from the fiber. Optical power levels
more than +7 dBm can cause damage to the detector
in the troubleshooter.
