【CAUTION 】
(1). The input port ferrule must be kept clean and free of dust
and dirt at all times. Take particular care when removing and
fitting the connectors. Be sure to use the protection cap or
cover when the unit is not in use.
For removing dust or dirt from the ferrule face, 2.5 mm
CLETOP sticks are recommended.
(2). Do not input optical power exceeding the maximum
measuring range, or the sensor will be damaged.
(3). Excessive ambient noise may affect the normal operation. In
this case, turn the unit off and then turn it on again. If this
does not solve the problem, take the battery out and put in
again, then turn the power “ON” while holding down the
“”select button.
(4). Do not use angled ferrules; measurements will be inaccurate.
(5). Do not drop or swing the instrument with the strap.

1. Characteristics
(1). The Model 219 lightweight pocket-type MiNi optical power meter is
designed to measure optical power and attenuation in high-power fiber
optic communications.
(2). It is calibrated at four wavelengths: 850nm, 1310nm, 1490nm and
1550nm.
(3). It can be used with various kinds of connectors by using the
appropriate connector adapters.
(4). Because the input port is a low-reflection connector ferrule type, this
unit can be connected directly to an Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier with
an open protection function.
(5). A memory back-up function stores selected wavelength and relative
value even when the unit is turned off.
(6). Auto power-off function. (10 minutes)
(7). It has a “Relative value measurement (dB, REL)” function.
(8). A small, well-designed cover protects the input port, operation buttons
and LCD to allow the unit to be carried easily in a pocket or toolbox.
2. Configuration
This optical power meter consists of the main body and the built-in
sensor, as well as adapters to accommodate various fiber connectors.
CAUTION :
Do not use angled ferrules; measurements will
be inaccurate.

3. Operating Instructions
3-1 Descriptions
ON /OFF
ON : Press this button to operate the
unit. The auto power-off function
activates. To disable the auto power-off
function, hold this button down for
approximately three seconds, until the
[Auto-OFF] indicator is disappeared.
OFF : Press this button when in use.
”(REL) “
This button is used to select the wavelength. The selected wavelength
is indicated by an arrow ▼ on the LCD. Hold this button down for
more than one second to switch to the Relative (REL) measurement
mode. If the “(REL)” button is pressed again, the unit will return to
dBm mode.
Holding this button down when the power turned on will initialize the
memory. If the input port is blinded completely, the automatic offset
compensation will be accomplished.
Input port (Ferrule)
This port is used to input optical power from fiber optics. A variety of
connector types can be used by attaching interchangeable adapters
here.
CAUTION : Input of optical power exceeding the maximum
measurement range will damage the sensor.

Cover
The cover protects the input port, the operation buttons and the LCD
display area when the unit is not in use.
3-2 Operation
(1). Battery
Slide the battery cover off as indicated.
Insert or replace one AA battery as
indicated by the polarity marks in the
battery compartment.
(2). Cover
Slide the cover off, turn over, and insert the unit from the opposite
direction.
(3). Power
Turn the power on by pressing the “ON/OFF” button.
The unit begins to operate after the ”“ indicator flashes five times.
(4). Wavelength ”“ Selection
Press the ”“ button to align the
indicator on the LCD with the desired
wavelength.
(5). Connector adapter
Attach the connector adapter tightly
to the fiber connector.
Do not use angled ferrules;
measurements will be inaccurate.

(6). Measurement
To assure accurate measurements, tighten the connectors securely,
maintain the physical configuration of the fiber during measurement,
and do not allow ambient light to enter the sensor. If optical power
input falls outside of the measurement range during operation,
range indicators will appear in the display as: over (Hi-dBm) and
under (Lo-dBm).
(7). Relative measurement
To set the current input power as the reference level, hold down the
“(REL)” button for more than one second. The difference between
the reference level and subsequent power input is expressed in dB.
These measurements are called “relative values” and can be read
directly, requiring no manual calculations.
In this mode, "REL" appears in the display.
If the “(REL)” button is pressed again, the unit will return to dBm
mode.
(8). Automatic offset compensation
This function effects automatic offset compensation of the optical
input port, canceling out any offset value, which may cause large
errors when measuring extremely low light levels.
To perform this function, completely blind the input port with the
protection cap and turn on the power while pressing the “ (REL)”
button.
The countdown will be displayed. It will be complete in about 10
seconds.
To cancel this function, press “(REL)” button again during the
countdown, and then the unit will be in dBm mode without the offset
compensation.
If the blind of the input port is not enough so that the compensation
cannot be accomplished, “Err”will appear in the display. In this case,
press “(REL)” button again, and then the unit will be in dBm mode
without the offset compensation.
3-3 Battery replacement
If the “B” mark appears in the display, replace the battery to new
one.

3-4 Cleaning the input port
Because the path traveled by light, at the PC polished input port, is
extremely small, any dust on the ferrule face not only disrupts
connection with the fiber, but also leads to greater coupling loss and
reflection. Dust can also damage the ferrule.
The input port is cleaned as follows.
When the connector adapter is attached
a. Remove dust from the ferrule face with a 2.5 mm CLETOP stick
or comparable product.
When the connector adapter is removed
a. Wipe the ferrule face with a swab dipped in ethanol or
isopropanol.
b. Wipe the ferrule face with a dry swab once again.
c. Blow on the ferrule face with clean air.
