4Fiber Testing

Calibrating the Tester

1Insert a Fiber SmartProbe+ in the FrameScope, and a Fiber SmartProbe+ in the DualRemote. They should both be multimode.

2Connect a single fiber of each of two duplex test jumpers to the two Fiber SmartProbes with the transmitter of each connected to the detector of the other with no coupler.

3Turn on the FrameScope and DualRemote, if necessary.

4On the Fiber Main Menu, press Calibration. The Fiber Calibration screen displays as above.

5Choose Double Ended, and press Next. The Fiber Detection screen displays as above.

6When the message below the diagram reads, “Ready to Calibrate,” press OK. The Calibration window opens.

7When the window reads, “Calibration Successful,” press OK in the window. The Fiber Main Menu displays. Leave the transmitter connection to the fiber probe intact. Remove both detector connections and replace with the previously unused fiber of the duplex test jumper on each probe.

Method C

Method C is recommended for multi-fiber and small form factor (SFF) connectors. Because the multi-fiber/SFF connectors are polarized connecters, ensure that you have selected the proper connector type in the Autotest Setup screen, see “Choosing the Connector Type” on page 110.

1Insert a Fiber SmartProbe+ in the FrameScope, and a Fiber SmartProbe+ in the DualRemote. They should both be either

multimode or singlemode.

2Connect special ST or SC to multi-fiber/SFF test jumpers to the two Fiber SmartProbes. These special transition jumpers are available from the connector manufacturers.

3Connect the test jumpers to each other, using a special reference jumper which mates with the multi-fiber/SFF connector. Special reference jumpers are manufacturer specific. Contact the connector manufacturer for details. Connect the FrameScope transmitter to the DualRemote detector, and vice versa.

4Turn on the FrameScope and DualRemote, if necessary.

5On the Fiber Main Menu, press Calibration. The Fiber Calibration screen displays as above.

6Choose Double Ended, and press Next. The Fiber Detection screen displays as above.
