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 page110.
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.
