of FTTX network. It is able to concurrently measure the optical power values of voice,

data and video signals. It is an ideal choice for the construction and maintenance of

FTTX network works.

Features

:

(1)In BPON / EPON / GPON architecture test voice, data and video signals

synchronized measurement and display.

(2)Simultaneously test the three wavelengths 1490,1550,1310 of PON system.

(3)For 1310nm wavelength the upstream burst-mode tests.

(4)Through the PC software, set the threshold, upload data, calibration wavelength.

(5)With the PC through the USB connection for data transfer.254 records in

equipment or software stored on a flight, view, delete.

(6)Containing common optical Power Meter module, including 1310,1490,1550 three

calibration wavelength.

(7)Chinese / English display device and software interface language.

(8)Provide ten threshold selection, three LED visual display were metering Road

status.

(9)Ten minutes after the device can be set to automatically shut down; can be date and

time settings.

(10)Beautiful rubber button design, button sensitivity, longer life, higher reliability.

Applications

:

FTTx/PON opening: it is used to measure all PON signals during opening stage,

in order to verify and ensure network standards are satisfied;

FTTx/PON maintenance: it is used to solve various transfer problems, e.g.: dirty

Note that the measured fiber connector type, connector type does not

match the access instrument, which may damage the instrument's output optical head,

and get an incorrect measurement results.

It supports measurement of three wavelength i.e.: 1310nm upstream, 1490nm

and 1550nm downstream at the same time.

For example: threshold value of the name test 1(+3dBm,-20dBm,-30dBm),the

measurement readings of the meter are: the value for 1310nm upstream test is -10dBm,

which is within +3～-20dBm, it means that the optical circuit is normal, so the power

value for 1310nm is displayed in green, if the power value falls within -20～-30dBm,

it means that the optical circuit may be wrong but is still usable, so in the testing

PON Optical Power Meter

-15-

screen, the power value for 1310nm is displayed in yellow, if the power value falls

outside of threshold value, >+3dBm or <-30dBm, it means that there exists abnormal

in optical circuit, the power value of the optical circuit is too strong or too weak, so in

the testing screen, the power value for 1310nm is displayed in red. So does 1490nm

and 1550nm test.

5.3

Save the test records

Press“ ”, Prompted to save the test records，as shown above, data record

number is 2，Confirm the save by “ ”, press“ ”cancel. Test records can view

stored in the "Record View" from "historical data" menu "Record View".

5.4

Data upload

The measurement results can be saved in the device, or be uploaded to PC using

upper computer software. Connect one end of data cable to the port of PC Link in the

device, the other end USB port of PC, run the upper computer software, and set the

software as per default configuration, then you can directly click “Upload” on upper

computer to transfer the data to PC.

7.2 Use only one adapter if possible.

7.3 If you are not going to use the tester for the time, cover the dust-proof cap

immediately to keep the end clean. Long-time exposure in air may gather dust

therefore influencing measurement accuracy.

7.4 Plug and unplug the adapter with care, don’t leave any scratches on the ports.

7.5 Regularly clean the surface of sensor, when cleaning the sensor, please gently

wipe the surface using cotton swab by circling the perimeter.

7.6 Handle the tester with care, protect it against fall or collision.
