Table 10: Troubleshooting failed steps during self-calibration
Step
Description
Common issues and how to resolve them
Hardware
Validation
Verifies key hardware
elements
Temperature sensitive components are not within their
specified ranges:
➢ verify the environmental conditions meet those
recommended on page 25
➢ leave the unit turned on for 30min and try again
Power Level
Measures the power of
each output
Obstructed detector adapter:
➢ carefully inspect the adapter for dust or small
debris
➢ as needed: use compressed air
Contaminated or damaged RD-S diffuser:
➢ carefully inspect the diffuser
➢ as needed: clean with a lint free wipe, IPA and/or
compressed air
Contaminated or damaged output lead connector:
➢ inspect output lead connector end-face
➢ as needed: clean and/or polish

Performance
Validation
Performs a series of self-
diagnostic tests to ensure
it meets all established
specifications
Poor fiber management:
➢ verify the output lead and the test jumper do not
have any sharp twists or bends (see Figure 23)
➢ as needed: use a heat gun to help relax the fiber
➢ Contaminated or damaged RD-S diffuser:
➢ carefully inspect the diffuser
➢ as needed: clean with a lint free wipe, IPA and/or
compressed air
➢ Contaminated or damaged connectors:
➢ inspect all connector end-faces (output lead and
test jumper)
➢ as needed: clean, polish and/or replace test
jumper
➢ Damaged mating adapter:
➢ try a different FC mating adapter
➢ Damaged test jumper:
➢ try a different test jumper
Note: these points are applicable for failure of step a.
