Any Battery Operation Limitations for Portable 400G and 800G Test Sets?
For safety reasons, if the selected test mode exceeds the test set’s safe current-handling capacity, it will prompt you to connect the high-power AC/DC adapter before launching the application.
400G and 800G technologies, and their transceivers, are power-hungry and require substantial current to operate within specs. Because certain test configurations draw more current than the RXT-1202's Li-ion batteries can safely deliver, those configurations currently require having the high-power AC/DC adapter connected. Examples include:
- The RXT-6402, RXT-6802 and RXT-6811 can run a single 400G test on batteries. However dual 400G tests require them to be connected to the AC/DC adapter.
- The RXT-6802 and RXT-6811 require to be connected to the AC/DC adapter in order to run single or dual 800G tests.
If the selected test mode exceeds the test set’s current-handling capacity, it will prompt you to connect the AC/DC adapter before launching the application.
If the external AC/DC adapter is disconnected during a high-current test, the test set will shut down the test module, display a notification explaining the power requirements, and instruct you to reconnect the adapter and reboot the test set before continuing.
