What is the purpose of the Live Mode?
With a launch cable, the Live or “real-time” mode may be used to quickly view many short fiber
links. It can also be used to quickly “trace” short fiber link fibers.
Why do I need to use a launch and receive cable?
A launch cable allows the OTDR to settle down after the initial pulse and provides a reference
cable for testing the first connector on the fiber under test. A receive cable provides a reference
cable for testing the last connector of the fiber under test.
The batteries may be charged while the OTDR is switched on or off by attaching an AC power
adapter.
• Plug the AC adapter/charger into a standard wall outlet.
• Connect the AC adapter/charger to the Power port located on the OTDR side panel.
• The AC/Charger indicator on the side panel will turn on Red.
• Charge batteries until the AC/Charger indicator turns Green.
