1-7 To enter the length of the test reference cords you will add to
connect to the link, tap TRC LENGTH on the SET REFERENCE
screen. The length you enter does not change the test results.
The tester saves the length with the results to meet TIA

Step 2: Measure the Loss of the Test Reference Cords You
Will Add
Caution
If you disconnected a test reference cord from the
output of the tester or remote, you must set the
reference again to make sure your measurements
are reliable.
2-1 On the SET REFERENCE screen, when the reference procedure
is completed, tap NEXT.
2-2 Disconnect the test reference cords from the INPUT ports on
the tester and remote, then use test reference cords and
adapters to make the connections to verify the TRCs, as shown
on the screen and in Figure 81.
2-3 Tap TRC VERIFICATION. The tester measures and saves the loss
of the test reference cords you added. The IDs for these results
start with “TRC”, show the date and time of the test, and have
an for the test result.
The tester shows a warning if the loss of a TRC is more than
these limits:
Maximum loss for multimode TRCs: 0.15 dB
Maximum loss for singlemode TRCs: 0.25 dB
If the tester shows a warning, clean and inspect the
connectors on the TRCs in the path that has too much loss,
then set the reference and do the TRC verification again.
