FAQ

Q: We’re trying to amend the 1310db Pass / Fail threshold to 0.800dB/km but we’re unable to save the change. (See attached video). Are we doing something wrong, do we need to change some settings?

A: This issue typically occurs because the software lacks the necessary write permissions on your system. To resolve this, please try one of the following solutions,

Change the Installation Drive – Reinstall the software on a different local drive (such as your D: or E: drive). The primary C: drive often has stricter Windows security restrictions that can prevent the software from saving new settings.

Run as Administrator – Right-click the software icon and select “Run as administrator” before attempting to save your changes.

Q: We measured the optical path and the PASS result was shown on the device. But as soon as we open the result in the program on the PC and printed it, Fail. How to solve the problem?

FirstFiber 8000MAX OTDR reflectometer fiber testing
8000MAX OTDR PASS OR FAIL TEST ON PC SOFTWARE

A: This is because that parameter in OTDR is not same with parameter in PC software. Please change analysis parameters in PC same as OTDR.

Q: A customer complains During generatiing of PDF File with test results marker A is visible on PDF File but marker B isn’t visible on page. It seems like there is a problem with scaling of results during export to PDF files. During test where 2 files are created SOR and PDF in SOR file results are looking good. It’s only problem with export to PDF. Could you please check this out and send newest firmware if You had such problem earlier?

A: This is a softwere bug. Please upgrade your OTDR by the following steps to fix the bug.

Step 1.  Prepare a FAT32 USB flash disk.

Step 2.  Put the upgrade file into the USB flash disk. Be careful not to rename the file.

Step 3.  Insert the USB flash disk into the USB port of OTDR and wait for the USB icon to appear in the OTDR status bar.

Step 4.  Enter the system setting interface of OTDR and click the “upgrade” button.

Then, the screen will display the software upgrade interface, and the upgrade operation will be completed after the software is automatically restarted.

Step 5. Finished.

Note: the upgrade file is for 8000MAX OTDRs that were pre-installed PDF generater. We strongly suggest you send us your OTDR series number to check if your OTDR can be upgraded or not before you upgrade your OTDR. You can contact our tech support by email tech@FirstFiberTech.com

Modernizing brownfield MDU infrastructure to 10G XGSPON requires high-precision reflectometry that protects active transceivers from damage. The 8000MAX-10G series (such as the 10G1 and 10G2 models covering 1310/1550/1270/1577/1625nm and 1650nm) incorporates live service light detection and automated start protection, ensuring technicians do not fire OTDR pulses into energized lines. Its ultra-short 0.8 m event dead zone and 4 m attenuation dead zone easily resolve tightly stacked drop splices and splitters within MDU enclosures. Furthermore, the firmware allows technicians to deduct launch and receive cables directly from the final trace, delivering clean, accurate link-only evaluations on its outdoor-enhanced 5.6-inch touchscreen.

Managing hybrid enterprise datacenters and campus backbones demands a single OTDR platform capable of certifying both single-mode and multimode spans. Deploying the 8000MAX-Q3 quad-wavelength model (1310/1550/850/1300nm) provides our auditors with up to 37/36 dB SM and 20/26 dB MM dynamic range. The high-density acquisition system achieves a minimum sampling resolution of 5 cm across 256,000 sampling points, revealing localized microbends and connector reflection degradation. Factory third-party calibration data confirms tight wavelength accuracy (1308.3 nm at 1310 nm nominal) and minimal distance deviation. Combined with an 8-hour lithium battery life and the intelligent Event Map application, it turns complex trace interpretation into an effortless task.

Outfitting subcontracted installation crews with standardized test equipment requires balancing technical rigor, field durability, and cost. At a reference price of $690, the 8000MAX provides tier-1 reflectometry alongside FirstFiber's free Light Customization service. We personalized our fleet with custom model numbers, company branding, and 800×480 16-bit BMP boot screens. The 16GB internal memory stores up to 100,000 curves in native SOR and PDF formats, allowing seamless field documentation. Backed by international ISO9001, CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications and fast 3-to-7 day DHL Air Express delivery, this ruggdized 1.1 kg unit is a benchmark procurement choice for B2B fiber maintenance fleets.
