Warning

When using this instrument, please do not look directly at the optical interface or the end of the optical
fiber with your eyes, avoid eye damage! Any change or modification not explicitly permitted in this manual
will deprive you of the right to operate the equipment. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose the equipment to thunderstorm or humid environment. In order to prevent electric shock, do not
open the shell, it must be repaired by the qualified personnel designated by the manufacturer.

Attention

Battery: The battery in the machine is a special lithium-ion polymer battery. The charging voltage is 5V,
and the charging temperature ranges from 0℃~50℃. When the ambient temperature is too high, the
charging will automatically terminate. The instrument battery should be charged every one month to avoid
battery failure due to self-discharge after long time storage. The temperature range of the battery during
long-term storage is -20℃~45℃.
Please use the special AC adapter attached to this instrument and use the external power supply strictly
according to the specifications, otherwise the equipment may be damaged.
Fiber End Face Cleaning: Before testing, clean the end face of the tested optical fiber joint with alcohol
cotton.
LCD screen: The display of this series of instruments is 3.5 inch color LCD. In order to maintain good
viewing effect, please keep the LCD screen clean and clean. When cleaning, the LCD screen can be cleaned
by wiping with soft fabric.

Guarantee description:

The whole machine is guaranteed for 18 months. The battery, charging adapter and optical interface
consumables are guaranteed for 6 months. The warranty date shall be postponed one month from the date of manufacture.
Due to the need of design improvement, the contents are subject to change without notice.

OTDR List
List: the tested results are displayed in the form of a list.
A-B Total length: the total length of the link under test.
A-B Total loss: the total loss of the link under test.
A-B Slope: the  loss per kilometer of the link under test.
In the event list:
NO.:  the order of the current event.
Type: the type of the current event.
Distance: the location of the current event.
Loss: the loss of the current event.
Decay: the loss from the starting point to the current 
event.
Reflection: the return loss of the current event.
Total loss: the loss from the starting point to the current 
event.
There are five types of events:



OTDR Setting
Setting parametes 
wavelength, select the test unit and 
sampling mode
Test units include km, mi and kft
There are three measurement modes: 
fast, conventional and high-precision
Analysis parameter/threshold 
setting
Set the reflection threshold, non 
reflection threshold and end 
threshold required for event 
analysis
Event loss threshold: set the loss 
threshold of connection point, fusion 
point or macro bend in the link that 
can be tested, between 0.2~30dB, and 
the default value is 0.2dB. Events 
larger than the set threshold will be 
listed in the event table, or those will 
be ignored.
Reflection threshold: set the return loss threshold of the 
link reflection events that can be tested, ranging from 
10dB to 60dB, and 40dB by default.
End threshold: set end loss at the end of the link that can 
be tested, ranging from 1~30dB, 10dB by default.Reflection threshold: set the return loss threshold of the 
link reflection events that can be tested, ranging from 
10dB to 60dB, and 40dB by default.
End threshold: set end loss at the end of the link that can 
be tested, ranging from 1~30dB, 10dB by default.


OTDR Setting
Acceptability criterion
Set the judgment value for the average 
loss of connection/fusion/bend
ing/link. If it is less than the  value, it is 
judged as "PASS", otherwise it is "FAIL"
Average loss: the loss value per kilome
ter of the link under test
Bending loss: non reflective events 
caused by fiber bending, need to be 
tested at two wavelengths at once
Welding loss: non reflective event, 
refers to fusion
Connection loss: reflection event, 
refers to flange, SC, LC and other joints
Set return: the gesture slides from the 
right or left


File Operation
Save Settings
Simple: File name is "file name prefix (default" otdr ") - 
serial number", and the serial number increases in 
sequence.
Detailed: File name is  "file name prefix - range - pulse 
width - serial number", and the serial number increases in 
sequence
Auto Save:Automatic saving of test curve after opening
File name:File name prefix
Fiber ID:the serial number of the current optical fiber
File operation
All test curves are saved in the internal disk of the 
instrument. Press [File] to enter the file operation 
interface, where you can open and delete files.



Event Map
The function is fully one key automatic test, and the 
information such as the length of the optical fiber link to be 
measured, the type of the joint and the position of the 
breakpoint are displayed graphically, and the results are 
clear and easy to understand




OPM
It is used for signal power test and insertion loss test of 
various equipment and photoelectric components. It 
can identify and measure the power of 270/ 
330/1k/2kHz frequency laser.
         :Switching the operating wavelength of the power 
meter, wavelength switching 850, 980, 1300, 1310, 1490, 
1550, 1625, 1650 nm
 :Set the current power as the reference power
:Enter the user calibration mode, coordinate with 
the standard light source to calibrate the power
The conversion relations of absolute power, relative 
power and linear power are as follows:
PAbs.Pow=10lgPLin.Pow/1mW
PRel.Pow=PAbs.Pow-PRef.Pow


VFL
Inject the visible red light (650nm) into the optical fiber, 
and observe the light leakage position on the measured 
fiber, which can easily and accurately determine the 
position of the optical fiber fault point. It is applicable to 
the detection of the near end failure point of bare optical 
fiber, optical fiber jumper and other optical fiber and 
optical cable that can pool red light and the high loss 
section caused by micro bending
Turn on the red light source and work continuously
1Hz:Red light source flashes once a second
2Hz:Red light source flashes twice in one second
Turn off the red light source
Warning
Avoid looking directly at the laser output port, because 
the laser will cause damage to the human retina!


Laser Source
The output laser with the same wavelength as OTDR 
function, which can be used to test the parameters of 
telecommunication, CATV and LAN optical cables, test 
the insertion loss, isolation and return loss of optical 
passive components, and test the wavelength respon
sivity of detector.
There are five working modes : CW, 270Hz, 330Hz, 1kHz 
and 2kHz.

Warning
Avoid looking directly at the laser output port, because 
the laser will cause damage to the human retina!
