Live Fiber Detection

To prevent service disruption on live PONs, FlexScan performs a Live

Fiber check prior to every OTDR test. If a live ber is detected,

FS200-50B/100/300 models display a warning screen and do not allow

testing; FS200-60/304 displays a warning Aand allows the user to

complete a test at 1650 nm only.

Launch Quality Check

An optional launch quality check enables users to detect dirty,

damaged, poorly seated, or mismatched (UPC to APC) connectors.

To perform the launch quality check:

1. With the Launch Quality Check option Benabled in the OTDR or

General Settings screen, initiate an OTDR test.

2. The FlexScan will assess the loss and reectance at the OTDR’s

connection to the launch cord (ber ring) or ber under test.

3. If excess loss or reectance is detected, the OTDR displays the

‘Launch Quality is Poor’ warning screen C. From this screen the

user may chose to perform one of the following:

–Cancel a test by touching either Cancel Dor Back E.

–Clean connectors, then repeat the launch quality check by

touching Re-check F.

–Continue testing without checking and cleaning the connection by pressing Continue G.

Note: Testing a ber with poor launch quality may produce poor test results.

OTDR Modes: Testing in SmartAuto™

Initiate the SmartAuto test by touching ‘Press to start’ soft key or pressing Start/Stop button.

1. FlexScan begins testing with the Live Fiber check and if a live ber is NOT detected, proceeds to next step.

2. If the Launch Quality check is enabled, FlexScan checks loss and reectance of the OTDR connection.

3. If launch quality is good, FlexScan starts testing at one or more wavelengths using SmartAuto settings.

4. When testing is completed, FlexScan displays the LinkMap®screen, which is a primary display in SmartAuto

OTDR mode.

LinkMap Display Features

LinkMap is an icon-based representation of the analyzed network.

Link map thumbnail view with

proportionally spaced events

x/y or x1-x2/y, where

x = number of the selected event

x1-x2 = link section between events,

y = total events

File name: consists of cable

name and ber number, or

“New Trace” if le has not

been saved

LinkMap detail view: shows

summary and rst 4 events,

or up to 5 events. White

highlighted area in thumbnail

view indicates region of ber

for which events are shown in

the detail view.

Source Settings and Features

1. Touch to enable/disable light source. RED dot indicates that source is ON.

2. Touch to select test mode: Wave ID, CW, Tone (270 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz).

–Select Wave ID mode for fastest loss measurements.

While in this mode, the FlexScan source transmits wavelength information, enabling a Wave ID power meter

to synchronize and measure power at received wavelength(s).

–Use CW mode to generate continuous wave light at a single wavelength.

–Generate Tone for ber identication (270 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz).

3. Touch to select test wavelength: 1310, 1550 or 1650 nm (depending on model).

Power Meter Settings and Features

4. If used with non Wave ID source, touch to

select wavelength. If used with Wave ID source,

power meter automatically synchronizes to and

indicates received wavelength(s).

5. Hold to store new reference(s) at received

wavelength(s). Touch Ref/Set to view stored

reference(s).

6. Touch to toggle between power (in dBm or

Watts) and loss (dB) mode.

Note: Power meter detects and indicates ber

identifying tones when used with a light source

capable of generating a modulated Tone signal.
