Step 2: Measure the Loss of the Test Reference Cord You
Will Add
WCaution
If you disconnected the test reference cord from the
output of the tester, you must set the reference
again to make sure your measurements are reliable.
2-1 On the SET REFERENCE screen, when the reference procedure
is completed, tap NEXT.
2-2 Disconnect the test reference cord from the INPUT port on the
tester, then use a test reference cord and adapter to make the
connections to verify the TRCs, as shown on the screen and in
Figure 120.
2-3 Tap TRC VERIFICATION. The tester measures and saves the loss
of the test reference cord you added. The ID for this result
starts with “TRC”, shows the date and time of the test, and has
an for the test result.
The tester shows a warning if the loss of a TRC is more than
these limits:
 Maximum loss for multimode TRCs: 0.15 dB
 Maximum loss for singlemode TRCs: 0.25 dB
If the tester shows a warning, clean and inspect the
connectors on the TRC, make sure the cords are straight as
shown in Figure 120, then do the TRC verification again.
