Figure 10: Removing the Connector Panel

2.Remove the connector from the mating sleeve in the panel.

3.Clean the connector endfaces and mating sleeve in accordance with the Cleaning Connectors section.

4.Reinstall the connector onto the panel.

5.Reinstall the connector panel. To avoid damaging the input and output port fibers, make one or two large loops in the fibers when replacing the panel.

Recharging the Battery

The letter B is displayed on the RM meter when the battery power is low. To recharge the battery:

1. Connect the meter to the AC source.

The RM meter can be used while it is recharging.

Replacement of Internal Fuses

The following fuses can be replaced by JDSU qualified technicians only:

1.Fuse F1 on battery protection circuit PCB, 250V, F2A.

2.Fuse on battwery cord, 250V, F 1 6/10 A

Troubleshooting

If any problem described in this section persists, contact JDS Uniphase or your local representative.

Every backreflection measurement is affected by the loss before the DUT and by reflections before and after the DUT.
