OMNISCANNER

For dual fiber testing, the arrows at the top of the screen point out the direction of the light and indicate which fiber the result is for.

NOTE

When measuring single-mode fiber cables, OMNIScanner displays results for the wavelength; the upper (850 nm) section will be blank.

Press ESC to edit the LOSS screen.

5.4.3POWER METER

The Power Meter function reports the overall received power. Use it to quickly verify and correct cabling and equipment problems.

The Power Meter screen shows the currently selected wavelength and light source mode.

The overall power is displayed.

OMNIFiber is designed to provide a consistent, calibrated light source for effectively measuring signal loss in fiberoptic cables. The transmitted light can be operated continuously or modulated.

When testing loss, use the continuous light source. When identifying fiber cables with a tone locator, use the 2 kHz modulated mode.

Press (Continuous) or (Modulated) to change the light source.

Press or to change the wavelength of the OMNIFiber main transmitted and received wavelengths. Either main or remote can be used as the light source with the main power meter.
