- Visuele foutopspoorder (VFL): Used for fault location and fiber identification of single-mode or multi-mode optical fibers.
- Stable Light Source (SLS): Outputs stable continuous light to the optical system for loss measurement.
- Network Test Module (RJ45): For network sequencing and network line hunting, suitable for LAN fault detection, maintenance, and integrated wiring construction.
5. Onderhoud
5.1 Cleaning Optical Interfaces
Regularly clean the optical fiber interfaces using the provided sterile cotton swabs to ensure accurate measurements and prevent damage. Improper cleaning can lead to inaccurate readings and potential damage to the device or fiber.
5.2 Batterysorg
The QX43 is equipped with a 6000mAh large capacity battery. For optimal battery life, avoid fully discharging the device frequently and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods. Charge the device using the Type-C port and the provided power cord.
5.3 Berging
Store the device within the specified storage temperature range of -20 to 60°C. Keep it away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight. Use the carrying bag for protection during transport and storage.
5.4 Connector Replacement
The QX43 supports independent replacement of connector types, which can help reduce return-to-factory costs and downtime while maintaining optimal performance.
6. Probleemoplossing
- Cannot measure fiber with power? The QX43 includes a built-in Optical Power Meter (OPM) function. Ensure you are in the OPM module and the correct measurement wavelength is selected.
- Does it measure with splitters? Yes, the OTDR function is designed for FTTx/PON networks, which commonly incorporate splitters. The auto mode is capable of measuring continuous optical fiber events in such networks.
- Does it detect 1625nm frequency or activate? Yes, both the OPM and SLS functions support the 1625nm wavelength, allowing for testing and activation at this frequency.
- Inaccurate OTDR readings? Ensure the optical fiber connectors are clean. Use sterile cotton swabs to clean the interfaces. Verify that the correct fiber type and parameters (e.g., refractive index) are selected if not using auto mode.
- Device not turning on? Check the battery level. If the battery is low, connect the device to a power source using the Type-C charger. Ensure the power button is pressed and held for 3 seconds.
