OFI-FTTx Active ONT Detector
Quick Reference Guide
General Information
The OFI-FTTx is a rugged, handheld optical fiber identifier designed to
identify the presence or absence of an active Optical Network Terminal (ONT)
on FTTx F2 fibers at the Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH). During a test the F2
fiber does not have to be removed from service. Thus the OFI-FTTx can
verify whether a splitter pigtail at the FDH is connected to an active circuit
before it is disconnected for fault location or re-use. The OFI-FTTx can help
verify FTTx network records and recover splitter pigtails and F2 fibers that
are connected at the FDH but, in fact, are available for new customers.
Please check our web site at www.AFLtele.com/go/Noyes for updates to
this Reference Guide and additional application information. If you have any
questions about your OFI-FTTx, or if you need technical or sales support,
please contact Noyes Customer Service.

OFI-FTTx Indicators
Indicator Description
ONT
Active
Illuminates to identify the presence of an active Optical
Network Terminal (ONT) on FTTx F2 fibers.
Not Detected Illuminates to identify the absence of an active Optical
Network Terminal (ONT) on FTTx F2 fibers.
Illuminates to indicate a low battery condition.
Testing Fibers
Time to complete each test is typically one second. The OFI-FTTx is
compatible with 2mm jacketed SMF-28e ®, 15mm bend radius AFL Bend
Insensitive (BIF), and equivalents.
NOTE: It is important to place the plunger in the correct position.

To place the plunger in the correct position
Remove the plunger cover.1.
Make sure the plunger is oriented in the correct position. If not, lift the2.
plunger from the two retaining pins. Rotate the plunger as follows:
To test standard fibers To test BIF fibers
The side labeled “STANDARD”
is facing out and will be used
for aligning the tested fiber
The side labeled “BIF” is facing
out and will be used for aligning
the tested fiber
Replace the plunger and plunger cover.3.
To test fibers
Select the splitter pigtail to be tested.1.
Gently insert the fiber being tested into the fiber groove at the top of the2.
OFI-FTTx head.
Pull down and hold the trigger to depress the fiber against the optical3.
assembly.
Once the trigger is completely retracted, the OFI-FTTx will power up and4.
light up the appropriate indicator.
If the fiber is carrying service, the [ONT Active] indicator will•
illuminate showing the presence of service.
If no signal is present, the [Not Detected] indicator will• light up.

Replacing Batteries
The OFI-FTTx is powered by two standard AA alkaline batteries. When the
[Battery] indicator illuminates, the discharged batteries require
replacement.
To replace the discharged batteries:
Remove the retaining screw and slide the battery plate away from the1.
unit.
Replace the discharged batteries.2.
Replace the battery plate and retaining screw.3.
Cleaning Optical Assembly
Note: For cleaning the OFI-FTTx optical assembly, use lint-free optical
cleaning wipes and 99% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) that has not been
contaminated. Do not immerse the plunger assembly in alcohol.
Remove the plunger cover.1.
Lift the plunger from the two retaining pins.2.
Dampen the wipe with the alcohol and gently clean the exposed prism3.
and optical windows.
Once completed, replace the plunger and plunger cover.4.
Repair and Calibration
Repair of the Noyes test equipment in the field is NOT recommended.
Calibration is recommended every 12 months. Noyes Calibration Department
is in compliance with ANSI/NCSL Z540-1, ISO 10012-1, MIL STD 45662A,
ISO Guide 25 and traceability to the National Institute of Standards and
Technology. Call Customer Service to obtain a Service Request (S.R.)
number before sending units in for calibration.
