5) Edit the DATE. Use to backspace, then enter the link name using
the alpha-numeric keys. Press when finished entering the date.
NOTE: It is of vital importance to change the date using the format MM-DD-YY. If
the date is entered incorrectly, or not entered at all, Extech Reporter will display
an incorrect date on the software and reports.
CONFIGURE LINK PROPERTIES AND SET REFERENCE
6) Use to scroll through the list of fiber standards. Once the chosen
standard is highlighted, press to select.
NOTE: users may create their own standards. See page 3-15 for instructions.
7) Use to scroll through the list of fiber types. Once the fiber type that
matches the cable under test is highlighted, press to select.
8) Connect the detector port and light source port to two fibers in the link via
patch cords. On the other end of the link, connect the same two fibers with a
single patch cord, thus creating a loop. When the patch cords are connected,
press to run the LENGTH TEST.
9) After the length test is complete, the fiber length will be displayed in
meters. Press to continue.
NOTE: if CANNOT DETERMINE LENGTH appears on the display, double-check
to make sure that the fiber link is connected as shown above. To test the
equipment ports, take a single patch cord and connect it between the two ports,
then press to re-test. If the fiber length comes up as 00003 +/-3 meters, then
the problem rests in the fiber link itself.
THE METER WILL SKIP TO STEP 10 IF THE OPTIONAL LIGHT SOURCE IS NOT INSTALLED.
