OLS-85/OLS-85P LIGHT SOURCES

1 INTRODUCTION
OLS-85/OLS-85P Light Sources

The SmartClass™ Fiber OLS-85 light sources are professional,

versatile, compact handheld instruments designed for
qualification and certification of fiber optic networks.
Thoroughly chosen combinations of available wavelengths make
the SmartClass™ Fiber OLS-85 light sources the optimum choice
for link loss testing and characterization of long-haul, metro, and
access telecommunication networks, as well as for data center
and local area network testing.

Single-Mode (SM) and Multi-Mode (MM) – The

all-in-one solution
OLS-85 devices that have both single mode and multi-mode
light sources are the most flexible test instruments. These
instruments are particularly suitable for rental and measurement
service companies.

Auto  – Do it right the first time

OLS-85 Auto  feature sends information about the emitted
wavelengths to a receiving-end (e.g. OLP-85), enabling the
receiving-end to automatically set up for correct wavelength
setting and hence ensuring a correct measurement the first
time.

Multi  – Reduce testing time to a minimum

Combined with a compatible power meter (e.g. OLP-85) Multi-
testing reduces testing time to a minimum by simultaneously
testing at all wavelengths.

Macrobending test ready

Several OLS-85 variants provide a 1625 nm light source which is
the ideal wavelength for detecting macrobending issues in fiber
links.

Fiber inspection ready – Inspect before you

connect
The SmartClass™ Fiber OLS-85 instruments are prepared for
fiber inspection. Connection of a P5000i Digital Probe to the
OLS-85 enables a technician to perform best practices fiber

OLS-85/OLS-85P 5
1 INTRODUCTION
OLS-85/OLS-85P LIGHT SOURCES

inspection and automated Pass/Fail testing of optical

connectors/adapters in order to ensure industry standard fiber
endface quality and cleanliness.
You don't need an additional fiber microscope set – simply plug
in a P5000i Digital Probe.

Report generation – Do it the easy way

Of course, it is possible to make measurement reports with a PC
tool.
But it's even easier with SmartClass™ Fiber – generate your
report on the instrument directly and you're done.

FTTx/PON aware
OLS-85 instruments allow for passive optical network (PON)
testing at the ITU-T G.983.3, and IEEE 802.3ah specified
wavelengths 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and 1550 nm. This is the ideal
source for PON network loss testing.

Rugged and portable

Battery operation from AA dry batteries, or from a rechargeable
Li-Ion Battery Pack ensure a long operating time in the field and
a robust, shock-proof design makes the SmartClass™ Fiber
instruments the perfect choice for optical network field testing,
even under tough conditions.

Remote controllable
Operation from an AC/DC power supply and remote control
capabilities via USB 2.0 and Ethernet make the SmartClass™
Fiber instruments even a perfect solution for fixed installations
in central offices, in production environments, and on the
laboratory workbench.

 6 SOURCE OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION

6 SOURCE OPERATION
General information

Various fiber optic tests (e.g. loss test, fiber identification)

require a reliable and stable optical source. OLS-85/OLS-85P
devices are high-quality optical sources, which in addition to a
stable optical signal have other useful properties, which simplify
and shorten the work processes and exclude potential sources of
error in measurement setups.
OLS-85/OLS-85P devices include several light sources – i.e.
lasers and/or LEDs – which are stabilized using an automatic
gain control mechanism. LEDs are typically used for multi-mode
fiber measurements. On the other hand, lasers are used for
single-mode fiber measurements.
NOTE: In this manual, the word laser is used synonymously for laser and
LED sources.
The output signals of the light sources may be either continuous
wave (CW) or modulated at certain frequencies, i.e. 270 Hz,
1 kHz, or 2 kHz. Viavi power meters (e.g. OLP-3x, OLP-8x, MTS-
2k/4k/6k) are capable of detecting these modulation
frequencies. This method improves ambient light rejection in
certain measurement setups. Additionally, the modulated
signals can be used for fiber identification or for confirmation of
continuity.
OLS-85/OLS-85P instruments provide the Auto  feature. When
activated, the OLS-85/OLS-85P embeds wavelength ID
information into the emitted signal(s). This wavelength ID
information can be utilized by a compatible Viavi power meter
(e.g. OLP-85) for automatic wavelength setup and for
simultaneous reception of multiple wavelengths. This minimizes
test time and prevents common errors such as incorrect
wavelength setting on the optical power meter.
Furthermore, all OLS-85/OLS-85P instruments provide Auto--
Multi and Auto--Serial modes, which significantly reduce test
time compared to manually switching wavelengths.

About Auto- mode

When in one of the Auto- modes, the OLS-85/OLS-85P embeds

wavelength ID information into the emitted signal(s). This
wavelength ID information can be utilized by a compatible Viavi
power meter (e.g. OLP-85) for automatic wavelength setup and
for simultaneous reception of multiple wavelengths.

The OLS-85/OLS-85P provides two Auto- modes:

• Multi-: Multi- is a proprietary Viavi solution that reduces
testing time to a minimum by simultaneously testing at both
wavelengths. When activated both wavelength are measured
and displayed simultaneously.
Auto--Multi should be selected every time the optical
powermeter supports the Auto--Multi feature.
• Serial- automatically toggles between the selected
wavelengths. Combined with a compatible power meter (e.g.
OLP-3x, OLP-85), the power meter automatically sets up with
correct wavelength settings.
Serial- should be selected when low levels are expected on
the optical power meter or when the power meter doesn't
support Multi-.

SELECTING A MODULATION OR AUTO-L MODE

Wavelengths cannot be reliably detected in following situations:

• The receive level is too low.
• The wavelength encoding cannot be detected due to
interference.
• You are measuring the absolute level of a system that does not
have wavelength encoding matching Viavi power sources.

General information

Dirty and/or damaged connectors are often the root cause of

optical network problems. The Probe and PCM applications
enable industry standard inspection and automated Pass/Fail
testing with report generation of optical connectors/adapters in
order to ensure industry standard fiber endface quality and
cleanliness.
For best workflow efficiency, there are two variants of fiber
microscopes available in the SmartClass™ Fiber family. The
integrated Patch Cord Microscope (PCM) which is best suited for
inspecting fiber endfaces of patch cords and the external P5000i
Digital Probe (see “Digital Probe” on page 67) which may be
either used for bulkhead inspection or patch cord inspection.
The shortest inspection time is achieved when using one of the
OLP-87P models with an integrated PCM for patch cord
inspection and a P5000i Digital Probe for bulkhead inspection.
Both applications – Probe and PCM – behave essentially the
same and are described together below.
NOTE: Only if a P5000i Digital Probe is connected to the instrument is
the Probe application fully functional.
Select an OLP-87P version in order to get PCM functionality.

settings and information of the Digital Probe.

Saving Probe/PCM results

Images can easily be saved by pressing the [G] key. Each time
the key is pressed, the results will be stored.
NOTE: Instruments with an integrated patch cord microscope (“PCM”)
use a specific app, also called “PCM”, to operate that microscope.
Therefore, images taken by the PCM can easily be distinguished
from images taken by an external digital probe.
NOTE: If the instrument with integrated patch cord microscope is
connected to a Digital Probe, the images for the PCM and the
Digital Probe will be stored in different folders.

Background
Every saving covers the complete image and overlay data
available, regardless of the current screen contents:
• Two JPEG files for high and low magnification
• One XML file for test result description
• One PGM file (compressed) for failed locations
• One container file
When data is requested by the user (e.g. using SCPI), the
provided jpg-file is created just in time by the software. This
concept helps to save memory space and allows to maintain
sharp zone rings for all resolutions (VGA, QVGA and QQVGA).

NOTE: Saved image and overlay data (JPEG, XML, PGM files) can be
transferred, displayed and managed via the Smart Reporter
software.
1. Select the desired overlay mode.
2. Press the [G] key.
In live view this action triggers the snapshot.

CLEANING THE TEST PORT

9 MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Dangerous voltage and invisible laser radiation
Maintenance or cleaning of the instrument while it is con-
nected or operating may damage the instrument or injure
you.
J Make sure that the instrument is switched off and
disconnected from all power sources and optical radiation
sources before maintenance or cleaning.

Cleaning the test port

It is a good idea to check that the optical connections are clean

and clean them if necessary before starting measurements. Even
very small dust particles on the end surfaces of the plugs or in
the test adapters can adversely affect the accuracy of the
measurement.
1. Switch off the instrument.
2. Remove the test adapter from the optical connection.
The plug end surface is now accessible.
3. Wipe off the plug end surface using a cotton bud soaked in
isopropanol.
This cleaning method is very effective and leaves no residue.
4. Blow out the test adapter with clean compressed air (available
in spray cans, e.g. anti-dust spray).
NOTE: Cover the optical connections with the dust cap whenever they
are not in use. This prevents them from getting dirty.

Cleaning the instrument

If the instrument gets dirty through use, you can clean it using a
soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of detergent.

NOTICE
Water and cleaning fluids
The instrument may be damaged or destroyed if water or
cleaning fluids penetrate it.
J Make sure that water or cleaning fluids do not penetrate the
instrument.
