Abstract: In an optical fibre monitoring system which detects physical disturbance or other parameters such as temperature or strain of a fibre where a monitor signal is transmitted along the optical fibre and analysed to detect changes which are indicative of an event, a method is provided for periodically checking proper operation of the optical fibre monitoring system. A fibre disturbance actuator periodically causes a pattern of disturbances of a portion of the fibre at a predetermined location thereon where the disturbance is characteristic of the event to be monitored. A disturbance may be conducted by an optical shutter or switch 12A which is actuated to break the path in the fibre. The shutter 12A is operated at a far end of the fibre to provide a disturbance of the fibre in a recognisable pattern to ensure that the expected fibre is being monitored. The shutter is periodically operated by the controller 14 to temporarily terminate transmission of light along the fibre 10 and analysing the monitor signal at the monitoring system 10A to detect a termination in the monitor signal caused by the operation of the optical shutter 12A.
