Details

The TREND Networks R240-MIPV FiberMASTER Multimode OTDR offers size, simplicity, and value without any compromises. Due to the small size, the instrument is easy to carry and operate while the ruggedized housing aids in protecting the instrument. The simplified setup options makes the instrument easy to use, saving users time spent on training and reducing the likelihood of errors. This instrument enables cable installers to get the dependable test results needed, while saving users thousands of dollars.

The R240-MIPV provides a powerful performance in a small package. The simplified user interface is easy for beginners yet also has full manual and custom setups for more experienced users. The tier 2 OTDR certification is fast and accurate with instant-ON, zero boot times, and selections for TIA, ISO, IEEE, and CENELEC standards to eliminate setup errors.

The R240-MIPV is configured to include a SC connector, video probe port, power meter, and VFL.

The R240-MIPV features both a high dynamic range and small dead zones to provide the precision required for installation and troubleshooting alike. The software simplifies certification of cabling to meet TIA, ISO, IEC, and IEEE requirements with simple PASS/FAIL results. Additionally, custom test parameters are easily set to accommodate any application.

OTDRs can be complicated to configure and achieve accurate results. The FiberMASTER automates testing and steps to guide the user through the process. This process entails selecting the wavelength(s), selecting the mode, selecting the application, and viewing the events and event type shown with clear PASS/FAIL results for each. The OTDR trace is shown for a more detailed analysis.

To perform end-to-end testing on multimode or single-mode cabling via the included power meter, the R240-MIPV can be paired with the R240-LSIV FiberMASTER Quad Wavelength Light Source (not included) or any other light source.

The Visual Fault Locator (VFL) emits visible red light at the 650 nm wavelength. The intended function is to allow an operator to identify the exact location of a break, micro bend, or other discontinuity in a fiber optic cable. As the radiation is visible, light emanating from a break or micro bend enables the user to locate the exact position of a fault even at very short distances that would not be detectable by conventional means such as the OTDR itself. This is also useful for identifying a particular fiber in a cable by exciting the fiber to be located with visible radiation.

For additional analysis of test results, the R240-MIPV is compatible with CertSoft Reporting Software to easily manage test data and documentation. Project reporting and documentation includes trace graphs, schematic and table analysis, power meter results, and connector images.
