Yokogawa AQ1210 Series OTDR Multi Field Tester

Optical switch control: Connect a compatible optical switch box (such as AQ3550, 1 × 12 port configuration) to switch the measurement optical path in optical pulse measurement, and automatically switch the target channel during multi-core measurement.

（3） Application Function

OTDR Smart Mapper: Automatically repeat average measurements with different pulse widths in a single operation, analyze events automatically after completion, support MAP/TRACE mode display, MAP mode presents line events with icons, and TRACE mode combines multiple pulse width waveforms to improve measurement accuracy.

Multi Fiber Project: Manage the conditions and core information required for multi-core fiber measurement through "projects", support real-time measurement, average measurement, optical power measurement, fiber inspection probe operation, automatically save the measurement results of each fiber core to the corresponding folder, and avoid missing measurements.

Auto Loss Test: Two devices act as light sources and optical power meters respectively, automatically switching between 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths to measure fiber loss; A single device can test fiber loss through loopback mode (OTDR port connected to OPM port).

Multicore Loss Test: Two devices are set as the master (optical power meter) and slave (light source), respectively. The master creates a project and transmits it to the slave. Through signal transmission of fiber optic synchronization information, the multi-core fiber loss is measured in batches, and testing can be resumed from the next core after interruption.

Advanced Analysis

Multi trajectory analysis: Load up to 4 waveforms and display comparisons simultaneously, with the ability to adjust the vertical position of each waveform.

Bidirectional trajectory analysis: Combining waveforms measured from both ends of the fiber, accurately measure the fusion loss of fibers with different levels of backscattering.

Differential trajectory analysis: Load two waveforms, display their difference waveforms, and measure the loss and distance of the difference waveforms with markers.

Segment analysis: Set starting point (S) and ending point (E) markers, measure the specified segment return loss and total loss, and support setting reference point (B) to calculate return loss.

（4） System setup and maintenance

System settings: configurable power-saving mode (screen brightness, automatic sleep), network (LAN/WLAN, supports remote control and data transmission), language, startup interface (TRACE/MAP/settings information), screen color (Color 1/Color 2/Black and White), operation lock (PIN code restricts laser output, mode switching, etc.), expiration date (expiration prompt for calibration or device lock).

Troubleshooting and Updating: Provides common troubleshooting solutions, error code explanations, supports firmware updates via USB, can restore factory settings (divided into "Reset Settings" and "Reset Settings and Delete User Files"), supports adding optional feature licenses.

Maintenance and storage: Regular mechanical and operational inspections should be conducted, and high temperature, humidity, and vibration environments should be avoided during storage. The battery pack should be operated according to the specifications in the dedicated manual.

Safety and usage regulations

Safety warning: When measuring, the light source port will light up. Do not disconnect the connected fiber optic cable to avoid direct light to the eyes, which may cause visual damage; When the fiber optic cable is not connected, the light source port cover needs to be closed.

Operating standards: Before use, read the manual thoroughly and strictly follow the steps to set measurement conditions and perform measurements; USB devices should not be unplugged or powered off during reading and writing to avoid data damage; Fiber optic connections need to be checked for correctness to prevent equipment or fiber optic damage.
