KOMSHINE KPN-35 Live PON Optical Power Meter User Manual

1. Uvod

The KOMSHINE KPN-35 is a compact and precise Live PON Optical Power Meter designed for testing Passive Optical Networks (PON). It is capable of simultaneously measuring and displaying optical power levels at three key wavelengths: 1310nm (for ONT upstream), 1490nm (for OLT downstream), and 1550nm (for video signals). This device is essential for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of EPON, GPON, and APON networks, providing clear pass/warning/fail indications based on user-defined thresholds.

2. Varnostne informacije

5.4 Setting Thresholds

The KPN-35 provides five sets of pre-defined thresholds. Use the TH button to cycle through these threshold sets. The active threshold set number will be indicated on the display. For custom threshold settings, connect the device to a computer and use the provided management software.

5.5 Interpretacija rezultatov

• Pass: Indicates the measured power level is within the acceptable range defined by the current threshold.
• Opozorilo: Indicates the measured power level is close to the acceptable limit, suggesting potential issues or degradation.
• Neuspešno: Indicates the measured power level is outside the acceptable range, requiring immediate attention or troubleshooting.

5.6 Shranjevanje podatkov

The device has large-capacity data storage. Press the OK button to save the current measurement data. Refer to the full manual or management software for instructions on retrieving and analyzing stored data.

6. Vzdrževanje

6.1 Cleaning the Optical Port

Regularly clean the optical input port of the KPN-35 to ensure accurate measurements. Use a specialized fiber optic cleaning tool or lint-free wipes with isopropyl alcohol. Always power off the device before cleaning.

6.2 Zamenjava baterije

When the battery indicator shows low power, replace the batteries promptly to avoid interruption of operation. Ensure correct battery type and polarity during replacement.

6.3 Shranjevanje

When not in use, store the KPN-35 in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always replace the dust caps on the optical ports to prevent contamination.

7. Odpravljanje težav

• Naprava se ne vklopi: Check battery installation and ensure batteries have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Netočne meritve: Ensure the optical port and fiber connector are clean. Dirty connectors are a common cause of inaccurate measurements. Verify the fiber type and wavelength settings are appropriate for the test.
• Screen difficult to read in daylight: While the device has an LED backlight, direct sunlight can still affect visibility. Try to operate in shaded areas or adjust your viewvhodni kot.
• Only one wavelength shows readings: Ensure the fiber connection is stable and clean. If the issue persists, it may indicate a fault with the device or the fiber being tested. Contact support if the problem continues across multiple tests and fibers.
• Device freezes or behaves erratically: Try powering off the device and restarting it. If the issue persists, remove and reinsert batteries.
