Applications - Tempo Communications 180XL Mode D'emploi

Operation

the 180XL in modulation mode. The green LED
will flash indicating modulation mode.
2. Slide the switch to the next position (ON) to
set the VFL to CW mode. The green LED will
indicate CW mode by remaining on all of the

Applications

Continuity check
Break in fiber
Macrobend loss
Dirty connectors
The 180XL Visual Fault Locator is designed
to quickly locate breaks in optical fibers. Any
interruption in continuity will be indicated by red
light escaping from the fiber. Light can also escape
from the fiber if it is stressed or bent too tightly.
In either case, escaping light is a sure sign of a
problem.
Cleaning the Output Port
Clean all connectors before inserting them into the
180XL optical port.
For optimal performance it is also recommended
that the user routinely cleans the optical port.
To clean the 180XL optical port, insert a Tempo 946
cleaning wand into the output port until it stops.
Twist the wand, remove it, and discard. Do not
reuse the cleaning wand.
Users should always cover the output port with the
dust cap when the instrument is not in use.

Note: Do not blow air into the output port to remove
dirt particles. Doing so will only pack the dirt and
make it harder to remove.
