pulseEKKO PRO Fiber Optic Test
Plug the Dual Fiber Optic Cable into Port 4 of the DVL. Connect the black and grey ends of this cable together using a Feedthru Connector.
Press any key to begin testing the Fiber Optic cables.
The pulseEKKO PRO will continuously test the cable. If it does not initially find a problem, methodically move the cable to check for shorts while the DVL tests the cables. Especially check for shorts near the connections as this is a common area where cables tend to break.
Repeat the process as necessary for each cable.
If a short is found, please contact the rental company before attempting to repair.
