OMNISCANNER
For dual fiber testing, the arrows at the top of the screen point out the direction
of the light and indicate which fiber the result is for.
NOTE
When measuring single-mode fiber cables, OMNIScanner displays
results for the wavelength; the upper (850 nm) section will be blank.

The Power Meter function reports the overall received power. Use it to quickly
verify and correct cabling and equipment problems.
The Power Meter screen shows the currently selected wavelength and light
source mode.
The overall power is displayed.
OMNIFiber is designed to provide a consistent, calibrated light source for
effectively measuring signal loss in fiberoptic cables. The transmitted light can be
operated continuously or modulated.
When testing loss, use the continuous light source. When identifying fiber
cables with a tone locator, use the 2 kHz modulated mode.
Press (Continuous) or (Modulated) to change the light
source.
Press or to change the wavelength of the OMNIFiber main
transmitted and received wavelengths. Either main or remote can be used as the
light source with the main power meter.
