Basic Troubleshootings

Fusion Splicer & Cleaver

  1. Auto Mode: Analyzing Fiber Types and Arc Correction
    It does 2 things:
    a. Analyzing fiber types to determin which fiber it is and selected the best Arc power based on the fiber type.
    b. Auto corrects arc power based on previous fusion splice data.
    (It takes longer splicing time for this extra 2 steps)
  2. Auto SM Mode:
    a. It will splice as SM fiber type
    b. Auto corrects arc power based on previous fusion splice data.
    (It takes longer splicing time for this extra 1 step)
  3. Fast SM:
    a. It will splice as Clad Alignment to make quick splice
    b. No Auto Correcting on arc power
  4. SM-SM:
    a. it will splice as SM fiber tyoe without Auto Arc correction
  5. Normal-SM
    a. Extra available option for users to set any custom settings 

 

OTDR & others

1. Can it run through a 1×64 splitter?

Yes. Any Model with above 40dB 

X2100-AB40 OTDR (1310/1550/1625nm, 40/38/37dB) can go through a 1×64 splitter
 
2. Can it run through a 1×32 splitter?
Yes. Any Model with above 35dB 

X2100-AB35(1310/1550/1625nm, 35/33/32dB
 
3. Can it run through 1×16, 1×8 splitter?
Any Models with 1310/1550nm wavelengths can go through 1×8,1×16 splitters
 
Yes. any model with 1625nm or 1650nm wavelengths

XGS/PON/Regular Power Meter

1. The XGS PON power meter has two access ports, ONT and OLT for online live signal network testing.

 

2. The XGS PON power meter can test digital pulse type of optical signals from ONT and OLT devices.

The regular power meters can only test the correct values when simulating optical signals or when there is no modulated light.

 

3. XGS PON power meters can detect and measure multiple mixed network optical signals in the fiber, and display the correct network type and optical signal wavelength.

 

Regular power meters can only be adjusted by the user to switch the testing wavelength.

 

If the user doesn’t know the network signal wavelength inside the fiber, it cannot detect or test the correct wavelength or power value in the network.

 

If there was only one wavelength of 1577nm in the fiber line (not with other 1491 or 1550 wavelengths), in this case, it can be tested with the regular power meter.

But unless it was tested with a PON meter first, the user wouldn’t know which wavelength of optical signal is inside the fiber.

Issues:

This is normal. MM fiber has larger core and it doesn’t have high bending tolerance level like SM fiber.

Please run “LED light calibration” or “LED Light check” under Maintenance menu
