Link Loss Testing - Promax PROLITE-23 Manual De Instrucciones

•
NOTE:
To ensure the accuracy of measurement, optical connectors should be
kept clean.
•
In the process of measurement, please always avoid looking directly into
open optic fibre, optical output, optical connectors or other laser source,
for it might cause eye injuries.
•
Only under the dBm mode, reference power value can be set.

5.2 Link loss testing

In order to verify link losses, a stabilized laser source like PROLITE-90 is required
and also accurate optical power meter like PROLITE-23 that allows measuring the
attenuation in monomode or multimode connexion.
Follow the following procedures:
1. If users want to make full use of the measurement function of the instruments
(laser source and power meter), then test of the output power of laser source
connected to optical jumper cable must be performed before link testing. And
connect laser source and power meter with tested optical jumper cable, as in
figure 13. The value of the power is shown in PROLITE-23 screen (Write
down this power value as P1).
