OLP-88/88P TruePON Testers
This manual applies to the following models:
• BN 2327/36
• BN 2328/36
The SmartClass™ Fiber OLP-88/88P TruePON Tester is the first
compact handheld test instrument that combines
• a professional PON power meter for qualification, activation,
and troubleshooting passive optical networks,
• with automatic pass/fail analysis,
• fiber end face inspection,
• ONU/ONT serial number identif ication,
• and optional detection of rogue ONUs or ONTs.
The OLP-88/88P instruments blend a high-performance λ-
selective FTTx/PON power meter for B-PON, E-PON, G-PON and
automated fiber inspection and test capabilities.
Thanks to the automatic ODN budget class detection, it provides
an immediate pass/fail indication and enables to check if the
network and customer ONUs/ONTs meet expected
specifications at the 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and 1550 nm PON
power levels.

1 INTRODUCTION
OLP-88/88P TRUEPON TESTERS
An integrated pass/fail analysis feature simplifies standard
conformity testing and provides unambiguous measurement
result presentation.
For all G-PON systems the ONU/ONT serial number is
automatically provided. G-PON systems carrying PON-ID
OLP-88/-88P performs insertion loss measurements without
referencing, auto setting of pass/fail thresholds based on ODN
budget class, and identification of OLT.
Battery operation from AA dry cells or from a rechargeable
Li-Ion Battery Pack ensure long operating time in the field and a
robust, shock-proof design makes the SmartClass™ Fiber
OLP-88/88P instruments the perfect choice for FTTx/PON
testing, even under tough conditions.
Operation from an AC/DC power supply and remote control
capabilities via USB 2.0 and Ethernet make the SmartClass™
Fiber OLP-88/88P instruments even a perfect solution for fixed
installations in central offices, in production environments, and
on the laboratory workbench.
Common features
All OLP-88 series PONmeters can connect to single mode fibers
(9/125 µm).
Tests on systems from different manufacturers with different
connector types are easy to handle due to the interchangeable
adapter system.

, the
Connector type
The connection is made with a contact type connector. Make
sure that the connectors used are designated …/APC.
Selective power measurements
All OLP-88 instruments feature a ports to which PON
downstream and upstream links (from OLT, Optical Line
Termination and ONT, Optical Network Termination) can be
connected. The signals at wavelengths 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and
1550 nm are filtered and measured separately. These power
meter ports are calibrated at the respective center wavelength.

OLP-88/88P TRUEPON TESTERS
1 INTRODUCTION
Through path
The through path links the ONT upstream (1310 nm) and OLT
downstream (1490 nm and 1550 nm) signals. Thanks to the low
insertion loss the OLP-88 can be inserted into the PON network
transparently.
Burst power measurements at 1310 nm
The OLP-88 can also be used to measure burst type signals as
found in PON uplink paths at 1310 nm. The average burst power
is displayed independently from the burst duty cycle (active/
idle). This power meter port is calibrated at the respective center
wavelength.

LASER SAFETY
Laser safety
WARNING
Dangerous laser radiation
Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to eyes and
skin.
The maximum permitted power for the OLP-88 means that the
optical input signals can reach hazard level.
Bear this in mind when using the OLP-88. In particular, the
instrument is equipped with a through channel that transmits
all the optical radiation from the input to the output without
attenuation, even when the OLP-88 is switched off.
► Please note that also in broadband mode light is emitted at
the unconnected port.
► Always be aware of the hazard level of the instrument to be
connected.
► Connect all optical fibers before switching on the radiation
source.
► Switch off the laser source before disconnecting the optical
fibers.
► Never look directly into the unconnected port of the
instrument, the output of a laser source, or an optical fiber
connected to a source or a system.
► Always cover unused ports.
► Be aware that the emitted light is not visible.
► Heed the normal precautions for working with laser radiation
and consider local regulations.

Unpacking the instrument
Packing material
We suggest that you keep the original packing material. It is
designed for reuse (unless it is damaged during shipping). Using
the original packing material ensures that the instrument is
properly protected during shipping.
Checking the package contents
► Unpack the instrument and check the package contents. For
more information see “Included items” on page 84.
Checking for shipping damage
After you unpack the instrument, check to see if it was damaged
during shipping. This is particularly likely if the packaging is
visibly damaged. If there is damage, do not attempt to operate
the instrument. Doing so can cause further damage. In case of
damage, please contact your local Viavi sales company.

UNPACKING THE INSTRUM ENT
Recovery following storage/shipping
Condensation can occur if a instrument that is stored or shipped
at a low temperature is brought into a warm room. To prevent
damage, wait until no more condensation is visible on the
surface of the instrument before powering it up. Do not operate
the instrument until it has reached its specified temperature
range and wait until it has cooled down if the instrument was
stored at a high temperature (see “General specifications” on
page 82).

PS4 Universal AC/DC Power Supply is being used to power the
instrument. The instrument switches to trickle charging
automatically as soon as the RBP2 LiIon Battery Pack is fully
charged.
Note: Rechargeable AA batteries will not be recharged in the
instrument. For AA-type rechargeable batteries please
use an external charger.
It is not possible to charge the rechargeable AA batteries
or the RBP2 LiIon Battery Pack via the USB interface.
The instrument is powered by the PS4 Universal AC/DC Power
Supply if the PS4 Universal AC/DC Power Supply and the USB
interface are both connected.
General tips on using batteries
• Always handle batteries with care.
• Do not drop or damage the batteries or expose them to
excessively high temperatures.
• Do not store the batteries for more than one or two days at
very high temperatures (e.g. in a vehicle), either separately or
inserted in the instrument.
• Do not leave discharged batteries in the instrument for a long
time if it is not being used.

UNPACKING THE INSTRUMENT
Other basic safety precautions are as follows:
• Do not use PS4 Universal AC/DC Power Supply outdoors or in
wet or damp locations.
• Connect the PS4 Universal AC/DC Power Supply to the correct
mains voltage, as indicated on the rating label.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not
place the product where people can walk on the power cord.
• Avoid using this product during electrical storms. There may
be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use this product in the vicinity of a gas leak or in any
explosive environment.
• Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous, high voltage
points, and other hazards. Contact qualified service personnel
for all service.
Environmental protection
Please dispose of any unwanted dry batteries and rechargeable
batteries carefully. They should also be removed from the
instrument if it is to be discarded. If facilities in your country exist
for collecting such waste or for recycling, please make use of
these rather than throwing the batteries in with normal trash.
You will often be able to return used batteries to the place where
you purchase new ones. Any dry or rechargeable batteries that
you purchased from Viavi can be returned to one of our Service
Centers for disposal.

Connecting optical cables
Mounting test adapters
Viavi provides a number of test adapters for connecting the
OLP-88 to the interface to be tested.
You can connect all standard optical connector types to the
instrument using these adapters. The test adapters are suitable
for connectors with angled end surfaces (APC).
Contact your local Viavi sales company for available adapter
types.
The OLP-88 connector type must match the cable connector
type:
• APC: BN 2327/36, BN 2327/36
The PC/APC versions are easily identified by the colors of the
name labels on the front:
•PC = blue
•APC = green
To mount the SENKO test adapter:
√ The op tical connectors are properly cleaned (see “Cleaning the
test port” on page 55).
1. Open the head cover and remove the protective cap (if still
mounted).
2. Unscrew the SENKO test adapter and pull it off vertically.
3. Place the SENKO test adapter vertically on the optical
connector.
4. Fix the SENKO test adapter with two screws.
5. Repeat the procedure if the instrument is fitted with two ports.
6. Fit the fiber optic cable to the test adapter or close the head
cover.
