Setting the Number of Adapters and Splices
The NUMBER OF ADAPTERS and NUMBER OF SPLICES
settings are on the Loss/Length tab in Setup. These
settings do not apply to all test limits.
Test limits that include maximum values for the loss per
km, loss per connector, and loss per splice use a
calculated limit for loss. Only limits with all three values
use a calculated loss limit. The OVERALL LOSS value
should be N/A in these limits. If a loss value is entered, it
is ignored.
To see the limit’s values, select TEST LIMIT on the
Loss/Length tab; then press
A View Limit.
If the selected limit uses a calculated loss limit, enter the
number of adapters and splices that will be added to the
fiber path after the reference is set.
Figure 22 shows an example of how to determine the
NUMBER OF ADAPTERS setting.
