Setting the Reference
The reference procedure sets a baseline for insertion loss,
ELFEXT, and dc resistance measurements.
Run the tester’s reference procedure at the following times:
• When you want to use the tester with a different smart
remote. You can reference the tester to two different
smart remotes.
• Every 30 days. Doing so ensures maximum accuracy of
test results.
You do not need to set the reference after changing link
interface adapters.
Note
Turn on the tester and smart remote and let them sit
for 1 minute before setting the reference. Set the
reference only after the testers have reached an
ambient temperature between 10
° C and 40 ° C (50 ° F
and 104 ° F).
To set the reference:
1 Attach permanent link and channel adapters and make
the connections shown in Figure 3-1.
2 Turn the rotary switch to SPECIAL FUNCTIONS and turn
on the smart remote.
3 Highlight Set Reference; then press H. If both a
fiber module and copper adapter are attached, select
Link Interface Adapter next.
4 Press P.
