5.1 Punjenje baterije

Before first use, fully charge the device. Connect the provided power adapter to the charging port on the device and plug it into a standard AC outlet (100-240V). The charging indicator will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes several hours.

5.2 Uključivanje/isključivanje

• To power on: Press and hold the power button located on the front panel until the screen illuminates.
• To power off: Press and hold the power button until a shutdown prompt appears, then confirm.

5.3 Initial Interface Overview

Upon powering on, the device will display the main interface, providing access to various functions such as OTDR, Optical Power Meter, Light Source, Visual Fault Locator, Event Map, Help, Settings, and Files.

6. Uputstvo za upotrebu

6.1 OTDR Testing

The OTDR function is used to characterize optical fibers, measure length, attenuation, and identify events like splices, connectors, and breaks.

1. From the main interface, select "OTDR".
2. Connect the fiber to be tested to the appropriate OTDR port. Ensure the connector is clean.
3. Adjust test parameters such as wavelength (1625nm for this model), range, and pulse width as needed in the "Setting" menu.
4. Press "Start" to begin the test. The device will display the trace curve and event table.
5. Use the "Cursor" and "Operate" functions to analyze specific points on the trace.
6. Click "Analyze" to automatically detect and list events.

6.2 Event Map Function

The Event Map provides a simplified graphical representation of the fiber link, showing detected events and their locations, making it easier to interpret test results.

1. After completing an OTDR test and analyzing the trace, select "Event Map" from the OTDR interface.
2. The map will display icons representing different events (e.g., connectors, splices, ends) along the fiber length.
3. Click on an event icon for detailed information about that specific event.

6.3 Mjerač optičke snage (OPM)

The OPM measures the optical power of a signal in a fiber optic cable.

1. From the main interface, select "Optical Power Meter".
2. Connect the fiber to the OPM port.
3. The device will display the measured optical power in dBm or mW.

6.4 Optical Light Source (OLS)

The OLS emits a stable optical signal for loss measurement when used in conjunction with an OPM.

1. From the main interface, select "Light Source".
2. Connect the fiber to the OLS port.
3. Select the desired wavelength (1625nm for this model). The OLS will emit a continuous wave.

6.5 Vizualni lokator kvarova (VFL)

The VFL emits a visible red laser light into the fiber, allowing for visual identification of breaks, macrobends, or faulty connectors over short distances (up to 10km).

1. From the main interface, select "Visual Fault Locator".
2. Connect the fiber to the VFL port.
3. Activate the VFL. Observe the fiber for any visible light leakage, which indicates a fault.

6.6 Saving Test Results

Test results can be saved as .sor files for later analysis or reporting.

1. After completing an OTDR test, navigate to the "File" option on the OTDR page.
2. Select "Save" or "Save as" to store the current trace.
3. Unesite a file name using the on-screen keyboard and confirm.

7. Održavanje

7.1 Cleaning Optical Ports

Regular cleaning of optical ports and connectors is crucial for accurate measurements and to prevent damage. Use only approved fiber optic cleaning tools and methods.
