Mini-Pro OTDR DT-700 - User Guide

          Introduction

The Mini-Pro OTDR DT-700 is a lightweight, portable device designed to assist

network technicians in testing and maintaining fiber optic networks. It helps identify

faults, measure signal loss, and analyze fiber network performance quickly and  accurately.

1.     OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer)

§  Purpose: Tests fiber optic cables for faults, breaks, and signal loss.

§  How it works: Sends pulses of light through the fiber and analyzes reflections to find faults.

§  Why it's useful: Provides a visual report showing where problems exist along the fiber link.

 

2.     OPM (Optical Power Meter)

§  Purpose: Measures the optical signal power in fiber cables.

§  How it works: Measures the power level of the optical signal coming from the fiber.

§  Why it's useful: Confirms if the fiber is transmitting the correct signal strength for proper network performance.

 

3.      VFL (Visual Fault Locator)

§  Purpose: Helps detect fiber faults using a red laser.

§  How it works: The laser highlights problem areas like breaks, bends, or bad connections.

§  Why it's useful: Quickly identifies visible issues in fiber cables that need attention.

 

4.      Laser Source

§  Purpose: Generates a stable optical signal for testing.

§  How it works: Provides a known light source that is used with the Optical Power Meter to measure fiber loss.

§  Why it's useful: Ensures reliable and accurate measurements of signal loss in fiber networks.

 

5.      Ethernet Cable Test(RJ45)

§  Purpose: Tests Ethernet (LAN) cables for proper connectivity.

§  How it works: Checks for open circuits, short circuits, and wiring errors.

§  Why it's useful: Ensures Ethernet cables are working correctly and are wired properly for network communication.

6.      Cable Locator

§  Purpose: Locates network cables within a bundle.

§  How it works: Sends a tone signal through the cable to help identify the correct cable in large network setups.

§  Why it's useful: Saves time by quickly finding the right cable in complex installations.

 

7.      Event Map

§  Purpose: Shows a simplified, graphical representation of the fiber link.

§  How it works: Highlights key points like connectors, splices, and faults along the fiber.

§  Why it's useful: Makes troubleshooting easier by visually showing problem areas on the fiber network.

 

8.     Loss Testing

§  Purpose: Measures the signal loss in a fiber link.

§  How it works: Identifies areas where too much signal loss occurs.

§  Why it's useful: Helps ensure the fiber network is operating efficiently and identifies areas that may need repairs.

 

9.     Settings

§  Purpose: Customize the device for different testing needs.

§  How it works: Adjust settings like measurement units, wavelengths, and test thresholds.

§  Why it's useful: Allows the user to tailor the device to specific testing conditions for better results.
