Step 4: Set the Reference
The reference procedure for fiber cable sets a baseline power
level for loss measurements. It is important to set the reference
frequently for loss/length tests.
4-1 Turn on the tester and remote and let them sit for a
minimum of 5 minutes. Let them sit longer if they are above
or below ambient temperature.
4-2 Clean and inspect the connectors on the tester, remote, and
test reference cords.
4-3 On the home screen tap SET REF.
4-4 On the SET REFERENCE screen, tap RUN WIZARD.
4-5 Make the connections to set the reference, as shown on the
screen and in Figure 13 above Reference, then tap NEXT to see
the completed connections.
Note
When you set the reference, align the testers as
shown in Figure 13 to keep the fibers as straight as
possible.
4-6 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
reporting requirements.
4-7 Tap SET REFERENCE.
