TB 9-6625-2283-35
IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument
Identification.
This bulletin provides instructions for the
calibration of Fiber Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR), TS-4336/G (Tektronix,
Type OF150). The manufacturer's manual was used as the prime data source in compiling
these instructions. The equipment being calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test
instrument) throughout this bulletin.
a. Model Variations. None.
b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately
1 hour, using the physical technique.
2. Forms,
Records, and
Reports
a. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration personnel at all levels are
prescribed by TB 750-25.
b. Adjustments to be reported are designated (R) at the end of the sentence in which
they appear. When adjustments are in tables the (R) follows the designated adjustment.
Report only those adjustments made and designated with (R).
3. Calibration

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
4. Equipment
Required. Table 2 identifies the
specific equipment to be
used in this
calibration procedure. This equipment is issued with Secondary Transfer Calibration
Standards Set AN/GSM-286 or AN/GSM-705. Alternate items may be used by the
calibrating activity. The items selected must be verified to perform satisfactorily prior to
use and must bear evidence of current calibration. The equipment must meet or exceed the
minimum use specifications listed in table 2. The accuracies listed in table 2 provide a four-
to-one ratio between the standard and TI. Where the four-to-one ratio cannot be met, the
actual accuracy of the equipment selected is shown in parenthesis.
5. Accessories Required. The
accessories required for this
calibration are common
usage accessories, issued as indicated in paragraph 4 above, and are not listed in this
calibration procedure. The following peculiar accessory is also required for this calibration:
1 meter multimode fiber optic jumper cable with biconic connectors.
