Step 5: Set the OA 5000 attenuation to0 dB, and the DISABLEbutton
off (unlit).
Step 6: The power meter reading is the insertionloss of the OA 5000.
Check that the power meter reading is ---2.0dB or higher (more posi-
tive).
NOTE
During theremaining steps, do not disturbthe connections and
fibers.
Step 7: Set the dB reference (Disp-->Ref) at the power meter. The
power meter reading should be 0.00 dB within ±0.01 dB.
Step 8: Set the OA 5000 to each of the settingsin the table below, and
check that the power meter reads within the listed accuracy limits.At
30 dB, note the reading.
Step 9: Set the OA 5000 to 0 dB. Check that the power meter reads
0.00 dB within the repeatability sp ecification (±0.05 dB).
Step 10: Set the OA 5000 to 30 dB. Check that the power meter reads
the same as in step 8, within the repe atability specification (±0.05 dB).
Step 11: If the readings in steps 9 and 10 do notmeet the repeatabilit y
specifications, check the connections,and repeat steps 7 to 10.
