Use the Instrument Only for Its Intended Purpose
This optical measuring instrument is designed to measure the optical characteristics of light sources and evaluate their performance. Do not use this instrument for anything other than as an optical measuring instrument.
Check the Physical Appearance
Do not use the instrument if there is a problem with its physical appearance.
Battery
• This instrument contains a battery (lithium-ion cell). The battery cannot be removed. For information on replacing the battery, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
• Use only the supplied USB cable to charge the instrument.
• With the instrument turned off, when the battery pack is charged using the USB-AC adapter that YOKOGAWA recommends , if the battery pack is still charging after 8 hours, stop charging it immediately.
• Do not charge the instrument under direct sunlight (such as on the car dashboard or by a window), inside a vehicle under the blazing sun, near a stove or other heat source, or other hot locations.
• Your clothing may be damaged or you may be injured if you come in contact with the electrolyte in the battery due to fluid leakage or the battery exploding. Because the electrolyte may cause loss of eyesight, if it comes in contact with your eyes, immediately wash the affected area with clean water, and consult a doctor as soon as possible.
• Do not throw the instrument into fire or heat it. Such actions are dangerous as they may cause the battery to explode or the electrolyte to be sprayed about.

Page 31
Making Preparations for Measurements
Note
Over Discharge and Long Periods of Storage
• If you do not use the instrument for an extended period of time with the battery pack connected to it, the battery pack may become over discharged. This shortens the service life of the battery pack. To avoid over discharging, if you will not use the instrument for one week or longer, charge the battery pack, remove it from the instrument, and store the battery pack away from direct sunlight in a location that has an ambient temperature of 10°C to 30°C.
• When you store the battery pack for six months or longer, to replace the power that has been lost through self discharge, recharge the battery using the instrument once every six months.
• Avoid storing the battery pack for an extended period of time when it is fully charged (after it has just been charged) or when it has no power left (when the instrument will not turn on). Storing the battery pack under these conditions will degrade its performance and
reduce its longevity. It is better to store the battery pack when it is 40% to 50% charged. This is equivalent to the state the battery is
in after you turn off the instrument and charge an empty battery for an hour at room temperature.
• Use the instrument to charge the battery pack prior to its first use or if it has not been used for an extended period of time.

Connecting Optical Fiber Cables

WARNING
• When the instrument generates light, light is emitted from the light source ports. Do not disconnect the connected optical fiber cables. Visual impairment may occur if the light enters the eye.
• Close the covers of any light source ports that do not have optical fiber cables connected to them. On models with two or more light source ports, visual impairment may occur if light that is mistakenly emitted from the wrong port enters the eye.
CAUTION
• Insert the optical fiber cable connectors slowly and straight into the optical ports. If you shake the connector to the left and right or force it into the port, the optical connector or optical port may be damaged.
• If you use optical connectors that do not meet the specifications, the instrument optical ports may be damaged. Use optical connectors that are approved or used by national or local telecom carriers and providers in your area.
• Use optical fiber cable connectors that conform to the included universal adapter and connector adapter (the universal adapter specified by the suffix code).
Using SC Angled Physical Contact Connectors (Suffix code -ASC)
• The SC angled physical contact connector’s ferrule tip is angle-polished. Use optical fiber cables whose connectors are of the same type. Using a different type of connector may damage the connector end face.
• Only use SC-type (735482-SCC) universal adapters on -ASC OTDR ports. Otherwise, the instrument optical ports or the optical fiber cable connectors may be damaged.

• Lorsque cet instrument génère de la lumière, la lumière est émise à travers les ports de source lumineuse. Ne pas débrancher les câbles de fibre optique connectés. Des lésions oculaires peuvent être causées si le faisceau
lumineux pénètre l’oeil.
• Couvrir les caches des ports de source lumineuse libres. Sur les modèles dotés de deux ports de source lumineuse ou plus, protéger les yeux contre l’émission accidentelle de lumière depuis le mauvais port.
ATTENTION
• Insérer les connecteurs de câbles à fibre optique délicatement et sans les incliner dans les ports optiques. Éviter de faire pression sur le connecteur ou de forcer pour l’insérer dans le port, car cela pourrait endommager le connecteur optique ou le port optique.
• Toujours utiliser des connecteurs optiques conformes aux spécifications, à défaut de quoi les ports optiques de cet instrument pourraient être endommagés. Utiliser des connecteurs optiques homologués ou utilisés par les entreprises et les fournisseurs de services de télécommunications de votre région.
• Utiliser des connecteurs de câbles à fibre optique conformes à l’adaptateur universel et l’adaptateur de connecteur fournis (adaptateur universel indiqué par le suffixe).
Utilisation de connecteurs de contact physique incliné SC (suffixe - ASC de l’unité OTDR)
• L’embout à ferrule du connecteur de contact physique incliné SC est poli. Utiliser des câbles à fibre optique dont les connecteurs sont de même type. L’utilisation d’un autre type de connecteur peut endommager l’extrémité du connecteur.

Turning the Power On

Hold down the power switch on the instrument’s front panel for at least 2 seconds. When the instrument starts normally, the power switch (POWER LED) lights, and the start screen appears.
When the Power-on Operation Does Not Finish Normally
Turn off the power switch, and check the following items.
• Is the USB-AC adapter connected correctly? See page 27.
• Are you holding down the power switch for at least 2 seconds? If the instrument still does not work properly after checking these items, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer for repairs.
Warm Up
To enable more accurate measurements, allow the instrument to warm up for at least 5 minutes after it is turned on.
Power-off and Sleep State
When the instrument is running normally with the power switch turned on, you can temporarily turn the power off to a sleep state. The operation varies depending on how long you hold down the power switch.
• Turning the Power Off If you hold down the power switch for 3 seconds or longer, a shutdown message appears on the screen, the power is turned off
completely, and the power switch (POWER LED) turns off.
• Sleep State If you hold down the power switch for less than 3 seconds and release it, the screen turns off, and the instrument enters the sleep
state. In this case, the power switch (POWER LED) remains on. To release the sleep state, hold down the power switch. In the sleep state, the instrument consumes the minimum amount of power. In the sleep state, the setup screen that you were using, the character input screen, or the like is retained. When you turn on the power switch again, the original screen is restored.

Background Information on Measurements

Incident ray Backscatter Splice

Near-end reflection

How to View Optical Pulse Measurement Waveforms (TRACE screen)

The optical pulse applied to an optical fiber cable is reflected at different points of the optical fiber such as its connections, bent sections, and the open end of the fiber. These sections generate loss. The measured result is displayed as a waveform that has distance represented in the horizontal direction and loss level represented in the vertical direction. On the waveform, detected losses or reflections are known as events.

Background Information on Measurements

Terminology

Near-end reflection
Reflection occurs at the gap in the connector connecting the instrument and optical fiber cable. In the section where this reflection is detected, loss and reflections that occur at connections cannot be detected. This section is called a dead zone.
Backscatter
When light travels through an optical fiber cable, Rayleigh scattering occurs due to inconsistencies in the density and composition of materials that are smaller than the unit of wavelength. The portion of the scattered light that travels in the direction opposite to the direction of propagation is known as backscatter.
Splice loss
Splice loss occurs in spliced sections mainly due to the offset axis and angle.
Reflection caused by a connector
Using a connector to connect two optical fibers is different from splicing them together in that a small gap remains between the two fibers. Because this gap has a different index of refraction, reflection and loss occur.
Fresnel reflection at the far-end of the optical fiber
When light is applied to an optical fiber cable, Fresnel reflection occurs at locations where the cable is broken and at locations where the index of refraction changes such as at the end of the cable (the interface between glass and air). When the optical fiber cable end face
is vertical, approximately 3.4% of the incident optical power (–14.7 dB) is reflected.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range refers to the difference between the backscatter level at the near-end side and the noise (RMS = 1).
Dead zone
Dead zone refers to areas where measurement is not possible because of the influence from Fresnel reflection, connection points, or the like.
