Take the following steps to measure the HOML of the light
source and launch cord combination:
1.

5.
6.
Attach the reference launch cord to the light source.
Deploy the launch cord in a manner free of bends
smaller than 75 mm (3 inches) in radius.
Using the Light Source / Power Meter Mode, measure
and record the output power level, P0, in dBm.
Without disconnecting the launch cord from the
source or mechanically disturbing the connection to
thesource,wrapandsecurethelaunchcordinve
non-overlapping adjacent turns around the mandrel.
Measure & record the output power level, P1, in dBm.
Calculate HOML using equation, HOML [dB] = P0
[dBm]-P1[dBm].TheHOMLofthesourceandlaunch
cord combination determines if and how the source
and launch cord are to be used for subsequent cable
plant loss measurements, as per the below table.

HOML [dB] SOURCEANDLAUNCHCORDQUALIFICATION
It is important to perform set reference before starting
an Autotest to ensure the accuracy of the test results. A
2-metersetreferencecordisincludedintheberkit.Make
sure that the reference cord is cleaned and not degraded
before performing the set reference.
b.FiberSetReference
Perform set reference only after:
PoweringoandthenpoweringontheTestProunit.
Disconnecting and then reconnecting the ber
adapter.
Replacing reference cords in either the TestPro main
or remote unit.
Changing the conguration from loopback to dual
ended and vice versa.

AEM recommendations:
Wait for 5 minutes after powering up the ber
adapters before performing set reference, so that
they are properly warmed up and the temperature
has stabilized.
Perform one jumper set reference.
Do not disconnect the reference cord in the ber
adapter TX port after performing set reference.
