possible points of measurement shows a typical passive optical network (PON) with the three
possible locations for measurement].
The unit passively monitors 1310, 1490 and the optional 1550 nm RF video downstream and upstream PON optical power levels for compliance to standards. The measurement results can be transfered to a PC or uploaded to the cloud using a Fiberizer Cloud account.
The operator is assumed to have received basic training in fiber optics and related testing and measurement practices.
FX80 PON power meters are configured at the time of manufacture according to customer
requirements. A single device can be configured with optional VFL or BB-OPM.
1.1. FX80 Features

• Dual SC/APC Test Ports for Passive, Pass-Through Measurement of PON optical signal levels;
• TFT LCD display with backlight;
• Measure the downstream 1490 nm and optional 1550 nm optical power transmitted from the OLT to the ONU/ONT;
• Measure the upstream 1310 nm optical power (burst and CW mode) transmitted from ONU/ONT to the OLT;
• Pass/Fail or numeric measurement results;
• Tone detection for fiber identification;
• Rechargeable Li-Poly battery or AC or USB powered operation
• Rugged compact design with protective rubber boot
• Optional Broadband InGaAs power meter (9 calibrated wavelengths: 850, 1300, 1310,
1490, 1550, 1590, 1610, 1625, 1650 nm);

2.2. FX80 Test Ports
2.2.1. Optical Ports
Figure 2. FX80 optical ports
• OLT: Connect the FX80 to the fiber coming from the OLT to measure the downstream optical power levels in the PON network for 1490 nm (always present on active network) and 1550 nm (optional);
• ONT: Connect the FX80 to the fiber coming from the ONU/ONT to measure the upstream optical power level in the PON network for 1310 nm transmission;
• OPM: Use for measuring optical power level with the help of the optional broadband optical power meter;
• VFL: Use for 650 nm visual fault locator to visually locate breaks or excessive bends in fibers which increase insertion loss.
The FX80 can be configured with either optional OPM or VFL, not both.
2.2.2. Service Port
The service port (micro-USB) located on the left side of the device is used for charging and communication with a PC using LTSync software.
3. Getting Started
FX80 PON User Manual D07-00-115P RevA01
Page 9 of 36
3.1. Charging and Battery Care
Before using the FX80 PON power meter, make sure the battery is charged. If the charge is low, connect your FX80 service port to the charging unit provided with the device. While FX80 battery is charging, the LED indicator on the front panel will be orange. When the battery is fully charged, the LED indicator will be green provided the FX80 is powered ON. The LED will turn off when the unit is turned OFF.
3.2. Setting Date and Time
Set the device date and time before attempting to save any measurement results:
1. Turn ON the FX80 by pressing and holding the |Power| button for 3 seconds;
2. Press |Shift/Enter|+|Down| to enter the Settings mode. The following parameters can be set:
◦ Auto Shutdown mode;
◦ Time;
◦ Date.
The current selected test parameter available to edit will be flashing.

3. Press |Up| and |Down| to select the parameter to edit.
4. Press
|Up| and |Down|.
5. Press |Shift/Enter| to save the date and time settings.
|MODE| to select the field to edit, then change the value if necessary by pressing
3.3. Resetting your FX80
On rare occassions, you may need to reset your FX80. To do this:
1. Disconnect external power supply from the device;
2. With device OFF, press the red |Power| button and hold it for at least 15 seconds.
The FX80 will reboot but you will need to reset the date and time (see Setting Date and
Time).
As a result of the reset, the threshold values and reference values will be lost. You need
to reset these values. You must also perform

ZERO level operation (see Setting
The reset DOES NOT erase any previously stored measurement data.

4.1. Modes for Optical Power Measurements
• PON Burst: use this OLT to ONT pass-through test mode to measures PON optical levels on active, in-service PON networks.
• PON CW: use this OLT to ONT pass-through test mode to measures PON optical levels on out-of-service PON networks that have ONU/ONT devices that can be set to maintenance CW test mode.
• PM (PM1 or PM2): use the OPM test mode to measure any incoming optical signal level (CW, 270, 1000, or 2000 Hz) between the wavelength range of 800-1700 nm. The user must select a calibrated wavelength that matches the incoming source wavelength.
4.2. PON Power Measurements
For best results, we recommend you to wait for about 15 minutes after your FX80 is
powered ON. This is especially advisable in environments with extreme temperature changes.
4.2.1. Setting ZERO Level
You MUST set the ZERO level before you first use your FX80 for PON power
To set the ZERO level:
1. Press the |MODE| button to enter the necessary PON measurement mode (PON Burst or PON CW);
2. Press |F2| (ZERO). The ZERO notification will show briefly on the display.
measurements. We also strongly advise to set the ZERO level before every new batch of measurements, and after your measurement conditions have changed.
