OLP-85 POWER METERS
1 INTRODUCTION
1INTRODUCTION
OLP-85 Power Meters
This manual applies to the following models:
• BN 2307/03
• BN 2308/03
The SmartClass™ Fiber OLP-85 power meters are professional,
compact handheld test instruments designed for testing,
installing, and maintaining singlemode and multimode cables
and networks. The OLP-85 devices combine a high-performance
and high-dynamic lambda-selective power meter with up to
100 dB dynamic, a universal power meter, and automated fiber
inspection and test capabilities, thus providing an optimized
feature set for typical workflows found in access network testing.
An integrated pass/fail analysis feature simplifies standard
conformity testing and provides unambiguous measurement
result presentation. With integrated report generation, all
measurement data can be summarized within a professional,
industry standard test report.
Battery operation from AA dry cells or from a rechargeable Li-
Ion Battery Pack ensure long operating time in the field and a
robust, shock-proof design makes the SmartClass Fiber OLP-85
instruments the perfect choice for testing, even under tough
conditions.
In addition to onboard reporting there are various connection
options such as Ethernet or conncections for fiber inspection
probe.
Operation from an AC/DC power supply and remote control
capabilities via USB 2.0 and Ethernet make the SmartClass™
Fiber OLP-85 instruments even a perfect solution for fixed
installations in central offices, in production environments, and
on the laboratory workbench.
Common features
All OLP-85 series power meters can connect to single mode and
multimode fibers (9/125 µm, 50/125 µm, and 62.5/125 µm).
Tests on systems from different manufacturers with different
connector types are easy to handle due to the universal adapter
system.

1 INTRODUCTION
OPERATING MANUAL UPDATE
Connector type
The connection is made with an universal push pull (UPP)
adapter for all 2.5 mm connectors (UPP adapter for 1.25 mm
ferrules are also available). The OLP-85 works with a .../PC and .../
APC connector as well.
Powermeter mode
Both modulated and unmodulated light signals can be
measured. The average power of modulated light signals is
displayed. The power meter is calibrated at 850 nm, 980 nm,
1310 nm, 1490 nm, 1550 nm and 1625 nm.
The “Auto-λ” function allows automatic wavelength detection.
This application requires a wavelength encoding light source,
e.g. one of the OLS-85 Optical Light Sources.
Operating manual update
Continuing enhancement and further development of the
SmartClass™ Fiber family may mean that this operating manual
does not cover all the latest functions of your instrument.
If the operating instructions about features provided by your
instrument are missing, please visit the JDSU web site to check if
additional information is available.

3GETTING STARTED
Unpacking the instrument
Packing material
We suggest that you keep the original packing material. It is
designed for reuse (unless it is damaged during shipping). Using
the original packing material ensures that the instrument is
properly protected during shipping.
Checking the package contents
►Unpack the instrument and check the package contents. For
more information see “Included items” on page 80.
Checking for shipping damage
After you unpack the instrument, check to see if it was damaged
during shipping. This is particularly likely if the packaging is
visibly damaged. If there is damage, do not attempt to operate
the instrument. Doing so can cause further damage. In case of
damage, please contact your local JDSU sales company.
Addresses can be found at www.jdsu.com.
Recovery following storage/shipping
Condensation can occur if a instrument that is stored or shipped
at a low temperature is brought into a warm room. To prevent
damage, wait until no more condensation is visible on the
surface of the instrument before powering it up. Do not operate
the instrument until it has reached its specified temperature
range and wait until it has cooled down if the instrument was
stored at a high temperature (see “General specifications” on
page 82).

automatically as soon as the RBP2 Li-Ion Battery Pack is fully
charged.
Notes: Rechargeable AA batteries will not be recharged in the
instrument. For AA-type rechargeable batteries please
use an external charger.
It is not possible to charge the rechargeable AA batteries
or the RBP2 Li-Ion Battery Pack via the USB interface.
The instrument is powered by the PS4 Universal AC/DC Power
Supply if the PS4 Universal AC/DC Power Supply and the USB
interface are both connected.
General tips on using batteries
• Always handle batteries with care.
• Do not drop or damage the batteries or expose them to
excessively high temperatures.
• Do not store the batteries for more than one or two days at
very high temperatures (e.g. in a vehicle), either separately or
inserted in the instrument.
• Do not leave discharged batteries in the instrument for a long
time if it is not being used.
Other basic safety precautions are as follows:
• Do not use PS4 Universal AC/DC Power Supply outdoors or in
wet or damp locations.
• Connect the PS4 Universal AC/DC Power Supply to the correct
mains voltage, as indicated on the rating label.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not
place the product where people can walk on the power cord.
• Avoid using this product during electrical storms. There may
be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use this product in the vicinity of a gas leak or in any
explosive environment.

UNPACKING THE INSTRUMENT
• Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous, high voltage
points, and other hazards. Contact qualified service personnel
for all service.
Environmental protection
Please dispose of any unwanted dry batteries and rechargeable
batteries carefully. They should also be removed from the
instrument if it is to be discarded. If facilities in your country exist
for collecting such waste or for recycling, please make use of
these rather than throwing the batteries in with normal trash.
You will often be able to return used batteries to the place where
you purchase new ones. Any dry or rechargeable batteries that
you purchased from JDSU can be returned to one of our Service
Centers for disposal.
