Accessing the Users Manual
This guide provides basic information to help you get started
using the FIBER QUICKMAP Multimode Troubleshooter. For
additional information, see the FIBER QUICKMAP Multimode
Troubleshooter Users Manual on the Fluke Networks website.
WSafety Information
WWarning: 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.
 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.
WCaution
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.

FIBER QUICKMAP Getting Started Guide
 Use only patch cords that comply with GR-326-CORE
specifications and have UPC connectors. Other patch
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.

break or the end of the fiber.
 : Shows when the length is more than the range of the
troubleshooter.
 Settings for the troubleshooter.

How to Use the Troubleshooter
Notes
Always use test cords that comply with GR-326-CORE
specifications and have UPC connectors. Other cords
can cause unreliable measurements.
Fluke Networks recommends that you use launch and
receive fibers. See the Users Manual.
1 Clean all fiber connectors.
2 Connect the fiber to the troubleshooter (Figure 5).
3 Turn on the troubleshooter, then press . Pages 10 and 11
show examples of measurement results.
Note
If there is a break in the fiber, the troubleshooter does
not show incidents after the break.
If the reflectance or loss of a connection is higher than the limit:
 A connector endface is dirty or damaged.
 A connector is loose.
 The cable is damaged within about 3 m of the connector.
 The connection is between fibers of different types.
 The fiber has a bad splice or a sharp bend.
