What to do if EXFO Test Equipment power meter reads 'Power Too Low' or 'Power Too High'?
If your EXFO Test Equipment power meter displays 'Power Too Low' or 'Power Too High', the power of the signal received at the power meter port is outside of its measurement range. Check the connections, ensure you are using the proper fiber and connector type, and verify that you are using your power meter within its specified limits.
How to fix EXFO FOT-930 that does not turn on?
If your EXFO Test Equipment unit doesn't turn on, consider the following: * Ensure you press the power button for at least 2 seconds. * Verify the AC adapter/charger is properly connected. * The main batteries may be discharged, so connect the AC adapter/charger to charge them. * If the weather is too cold, this may also affect the unit's ability to power on.
What to do if EXFO FOT-930 Test Equipment batteries do not charge as expected?
If the batteries in your EXFO Test Equipment are not charging as expected: * Make sure the temperature is within the specified operating range. * Check that the battery is correctly connected.
Why am I unable to change wavelength in the Power Meter pane of my EXFO Test Equipment?
If you are unable to change the wavelength in the Power Meter pane of your EXFO Test Equipment, it may be because the power meter is receiving an auto-wavelength (Auto-ID) signal. To resolve this, try changing the source's emitting mode or deactivating wavelength detection.
What does it mean if a battery status LED is yellow on my EXFO Test Equipment?
If the battery status LED on your EXFO Test Equipment is yellow, it indicates that the battery is defective. Contact EXFO or replace the battery.
What to do if EXFO FOT-930 Test Equipment displays 'Light detected during nulling'?
If your EXFO Test Equipment displays the message “Light detected during nulling,” it means light is reaching at least one detector (power meter or FASTEST). Ensure the protective caps are tightly screwed on the FASTEST and power meter ports, then perform the nulling again. Do not use a rubber cover.
Why is my EXFO Test Equipment display almost blank at power-up?
If the display on your EXFO Test Equipment is almost blank at power-up, the brightness may need adjustment. Press the appropriate button to adjust the brightness.
How to fix EXFO FOT-930 'Unable to establish FASTEST communication'?
If you're unable to establish FASTEST communication with your EXFO Test Equipment: * Wait until FASTEST completes, turn the source and ORL meter off, or exit Probe mode if the remote unit’s FASTEST port is in use. * Ensure the remote unit is compatible (FOT-930, FTB-3930, FOT-920, or FTB-3920). * Verify that the selected port on the master unit matches the actual port to which the fiber is connected; set the port (SM or MM) correctly in FASTEST Setup on the master unit. * If compatibility is set to FOT-930, but the remote unit is not an FOT-930 or FTB-3930, set the compatibility to FOT-920 in FASTEST Setup on the master unit.
What causes EXFO Test Equipment to show 'Too Much Power' when measuring ORL, and how can I resolve it?
If your EXFO Test Equipment displays 'Too Much Power' when measuring ORL, it indicates that the measured reflected power is higher than the emitted power, meaning the ORL reference is incorrect. Always perform an ORL reference before each ORL measurement.
Why does the date on my EXFO FOT-930 Test Equipment return to 1900-01-01?
If the date on your EXFO Test Equipment returns to 1900-01-01, it indicates that the clock battery is dead. Replace the clock battery.
