shows and the troubleshooter looks for an optical signal on the fiber. If there is a singlemode signal stronger than approximately
-29 dBm on the fiber, ACTIVE LINE blinks and the troubleshooter will not do a test.
WCaution
If ACTIVE LINE blinks, immediately disconnect the troubleshooter from the fiber. Optical power levels more than +7 dBm can cause damage to the detector in the troubleshooter.
When the low battery symbol shows, replace the batteries soon. See page 1.
The digits show the fiber length in feet, kilofeet, meters, or kilometers.

How to Clean Connectors
Fluke Networks recommends that you use a mechanical device to clean connectors. If you do not have such a device, use other optical-grade supplies to clean connectors. See the Users Manual.
Use a video microscope, such as the Fluke Networks FI-7000 FiberInspector
Pro, to inspect connectors.
WCaution
To prevent damage to the device and to connectors, read all instructions and obey all safety precautions given by the manufacturer of the device you use to clean connectors.

Protect Connectors
Always put protective caps on connectors that you do not use. Clean the caps periodically with a swab or wipers and fiber optic solvent.

About Launch and Receive Fibers
About Launch and Receive Fibers
Launch and receive fibers give the troubleshooter a better view of the first and last connectors in the link. If you do not use a launch fiber, the troubleshooter cannot detect the loss of the first connector in the link. If you do not use a receive fiber, the troubleshooter cannot detect the loss of the last connector in the link. Also, the reflectance measurement for the first and last connectors will be inaccurate.
Usually, you do not need to use a launch or receive fiber with the FIBER O
NESHOT PRO tester. But you must use them in these
situations:
You must use a launch fiber if you want to detect a loss incident (such as a connector, splice, or macrobend) in the first 30 m of the fiber link.
You must use a receive fiber if you want to detect the loss of the last connector in the fiber link.
If you use a launch or receive fiber, it must have a minimum length of 30 m (98 ft).
When you use launch or receive fibers, be sure to subtract their lengths from the length measurement to get the actual length of the fiber you are testing.

How to Use the Troubleshooter
Notes
Always use patch cords that comply with GR-326-CORE specifications and have a UPC connector at the end you will connect to the troubleshooter. Other patch cords can cause unreliable measurements and damage to the troubleshooter.
Do not use the troubleshooter to do tests on fibers that have PC connectors. PC connectors cause large reflections that the troubleshooter shows as the end of the fiber.
1
Clean all fiber connectors.
2
Connect the fiber to the troubleshooter.
3
Turn on the troubleshooter, then press . The troubleshooter automatically saves the results.
Note
After you turn on the troubleshooter, it shows for a short time to show that it operates correctly.
WCaution
If ACTIVE LINE blinks, immediately disconnect the troubleshooter from the fiber. Optical power levels more than +7 dBm can cause damage to the detector in the troubleshooter.

The end of the link. The length of the link (without the launch fiber) is 8463 m.
A bad splice on the fiber at 2450 m caused a reflectance incident that is larger than
-45 dB (the default limit).
