OPM-71PC / Introduction
1 Introduction
The OPM-71PC series are full featured palm sized optical
power meters designed for use with an optical laser source
to perform optical loss measurements on optical fiber
cables. The series are lightweight and are
controlled by microprocessor. Utilizing state-of-the-art SMT
in its manufacture, optical connections to the
are made via the universal adapter interface on the top of
the unit. The instrument has 7 working wavelengths to
totally satisfy your needs.
It can be extensively used in telecommunication projects
and other situations where optical power of wavelengths
close to infrared ray needs to be measured.

OPM-71PC / Safety Information
3 Safety Information
Never look directly into optical outputs or a fiber while the equipment is on.Invisible laser beam
may damage your eyes.
Do not short-circuit the terminal of AC adapter / charger and the batteries.Excessive electrical
current may cause personal injury due to fumes,electric shock or equipment damage.
Connect AC power cord with the equipment and wall socket properly. While inserting the AC plug,
make sure there is no dust or dirt on the terminals and both plugs are fully seated. Incomplete
engagement may cause fuming, electric shock or equipment damage and may result in personal
injury.
Do not operate the equipment near hot objects, in hot environments, in dusty/ humid atmosphere
or when condensation is present on the equipment. This may result in electric shock , product
malfunction or poor performance.
Warnings!

4 Preparing for Operation
4.1 Unpacking the instrument
Packing material
We suggest that you keep the original packing material. Using the original packing material is your
guarantee of protecting the instrument during transit.
Checking the package contents
The standard accessories of OPM-71PC are as follows:
FC/PC,SC/PC interchangeable connector, Manual, Carrying Bag, Software (CD), USB cable, AC/DC
adapter, Test Report.
Checking for damage in transit
After unpacking the instrument, check to see whether it was damaged in transit. This is particularly likely
if the outer casing is clearly damaged. If there is damage, do not attempt to operate the instrument or to
repair it without authorization. Doing so can cause further damage and you may lose your warranty
qualification.

4.2 Discharged batteries
There is a battery indicator on the screen to show the remaining charge. There are four possibilities the
indicator may show, full, with 2 blacks, with 1 black and empty. If an empty battery indicator flashes it
means the power is almost out, and that is when you should recharge the batteries by connect the AC
adapter with the instrument. If the discharged batteries get to their limitations after long-time use,
please replace it with a new one. To replace the batteries, please remove the battery plate on the back
of instrument with a screwdriver.
When the battery charge is extremely low to supply the necessary power, the instrument will
automatically switch off.
Note: 1 The AC indicator is not displayed when power is supplied by battery.
2 To eliminate the possibility of acid leakage, please take out the battery if the unit is not used for a long
time.

4.3 AC operation
If the instrument is mainly used at one location, e.g. in a laboratory or test department, the AC adapter
can be used to power it instead of batteries. There is a DC input jack on the bottom of the OPM-71PC
instrument casing into which the output cable of the AC adapter is plugged. And when the AC adapter is
plugged in, the Charging Indicator on the LCD will be displayed.
Note:
1 Power is supplied by the AC adapter even if battery is fitted. And the battery indicator is not displayed
on the screen when AC adapter is plugged.
2 Make sure that the operating voltage of the AC Adapter / Charger is the same as the local AC line
voltage.
