3.6 Alert/Pass/Fail threshold setup
➊Choose a threshold group number from the available 01, 02, 03 using [▲,
▼].
➋ Use [◄, ►] to select wavelength from the available 1270, 1310, 1490,
1577 nm.
➌Press and hold [OK] to enter editing mode.
Use [◄, ►] to move cursor and highlight the digit on display to be edited.
Use [▲, ▼] to change value of selected digit.
Use [▼] to change the sign (positive or negative) of the value.
➍ After all the 3 threshold values (see below) for the selected wavelength
are correctly set,
Alert (displayed as !)
Pass (displayed as √ )
Fail (displayed as x )
The alert/pass/fail threshold values for 1270,
1310, 1490, 1577 nm can be individually preset.
These preset values can be stored in 3 groups
(01, 02, 03).
To enter Threshold Setup mode (see picture on
the right), press and hold [▲] at home display.
Note that this mode will exit automatically if no
subsequent key is pressed 10 sec after being
selected.
To preset and save threshold values, see steps
➊ ~ ➍ below.

press [OK] to save settings. Note that if invalid threshold values have been entered,
the unit will automatically exit Threshold Setup mode and return to home display
without saving those values.
➎ Use [►] to select the next wavelength and, repeat steps ➌~ ➍above
to set and save the respective threshold values. Do the same until the
threshold values for all wavelengths are setup and saved.
➏ To exit Threshold Setup mode, press [OFF] to return to home display.
3.7 Measurement with Pass/fail Display Mode
When performing measurements in this mode, measurement results (based
on the threshold values set in section 3.6) for each wavelength will be
automatically displayed. The symbols used to indicate measurement results
are as below,
Alert (displayed as “ ! ”)
Pass (displayed as “ √ ”)
Fail (displayed as “ x ”)
To activate Pass/Fail Display mode:
Press and hold [▲] at home display. Select a
threshold group number from the available 01,
02, 03 using [▲, ▼]. Press [OK]. See an
example of the display on the right.
To deactivate Pass/Fail Display mode:
Press and hold [OK].
Threshold values stored in
group,01 have been selected
for measurement tests.

3.8 Data management
Measurement data can be saved in instrument’s internal memory. A max of
99 records of 4 wavelengths with time stamp can be saved. Data saved in
internal memory can be retrieved for viewing on instrument.
To save measurement data:
Press [F1], the symbol indicates that instrument is in Data Save mode.
Press [OK] now will save current measurement data into memory, otherwise
press [OFF] to exit without saving. To save data into the next empty memory
location, repeat the above.
Data Saving mode will exit automatically if no subsequent key is pressed 10
sec after being selected.
To retrieve saved measurement data:
Press and hold [◄] to enter Data Browsing
mode (indicate by the symbol ). The 1’st
data record (01) saved will be retrieved and
displayed, see example on the left.
Use [▲, ▼] to choose the desired saved test
data record (01 ~ 99). The chosen test data
record is displayed with date, record number
and time information.
Press and hold [OK] to delete all data records,
Press [OFF] to exit Data Browsing mode,
Data Browsing mode will exit automatically if
no subsequent key is pressed 10 sec after
being selected.

3.9 Battery / Power
The instrument can be powered by either the supplied rechargeable Lithium
battery or, by the supplied charger alone.
When operating the instrument with Lithium battery installed, as battery
voltage drops below 6.7volt, a symbol will be displayed, and instrument
will beep for a short instant before powering off automatically.
To recharge, plug connector of the supplied charger into the charging-jack of
instrument. Recharging takes 4 - 6 hours. Charging indicator on charger
turns from red to green when instrument is fully charged.
Standard instrument comes with a charger of US-type AC plug. If require,
order suitable AC plug adapter from Optional Accessories section below.
4. Maintenance
•Keep the sensors’ surfaces clean and free of dust or other
contaminant by cleaning them regularly.
•Do not use unclean or nonstandard adapters.
•Change adapter carefully if necessary and keep any spare adapter
in dirt/dust free environment.
•When the instrument is not in use, keep the optical connectors
covered with dust caps at all the time. Exposing the sensor for a
long period of time will allow dust to be accumulated on surface of
the sensor; this will in turn result in measurement inaccuracy.
•Always consider leaving test cords connected to the PON meter.
This will prolong the life of the instrument ONT & OLT connectors.

5. Safety
Take appropriate eye-safe precautions when
handling live fibre.
Avoid condensation
The instrument is resistant to normal dust and moisture; however, it is not
waterproof. If moisture gets into the instrument, remove the batteries and
dry it out carefully for at least one hour before using it again.
Storage
During prolonged storage, remove batteries to eliminate the possibility of
acid leakage. Use only high-quality batteries.
