FUNCTIONS
Function buttons
• Press the power button to turn the meter on or press and hold to turn off the
meter.
• Press the AUTO OFF button to enable the auto power off timer. The meter will turn
off after 10 minutes inactivity. The symbol displays on the LCD when active.
• Press the LIGHT button briey to turn on the backlight function on or off. The
backlight automatically turns of after 2 minutes if no button is pressed.
• Press and hold the LIGHT button to activate the ashlight (torch) feature. The
symbol displays on the LCD.
• Press and hold ZERO button to reset the meter to default. All elements of the LCD
display briey.
• Press the DB button to switch between the relative power mode (dB) and absolute
power mode (dBm) to measure optical power at the corresponding wavelength.
• Press the l button to select the wavelength. The LCD displays the gure chosen.
Self Calibration Mode
• Press both ZERO and LIGHT buttons simultaneously to enter the self calibration
mode. CAL is displayed on the LCD.
• Press the LIGHT button to add 0.5dB and press dB button to decrease by 0.5dB.
• After adjusting press power button to save the calibration setting.
Factory reset
• Press and hold ZERO and AUTO OFF buttons simultaneously to restore the factory
settings.
OPERATION
Measurement of Absolute and Relative Power
Absolute Power Measurement
• Set the test wavelength and access the test optical signal. The LCD screen will
display the measured linear value (in mw, nw, pw) and non-linear value (in dBm) of
the absolute optical power.
Relative Power (Loss) Measurement (used in conjunction with light source)
Note: Relative power measurement is mainly used to measure insertion loss or bre link
loss.
• Use a standard test jumper to connect the output port of the light source to the
detection port of the optical power meter.
• Set the test wavelength and access the test optical signal. Then the screen will
display the measured linear value (in mw, nw, pw) and nonlinear value (in dBm) of
the absolute optical power.
• Press the “dB” key. The absolute optical power measured by the optical power
meter will be saved as the reference power value and displayed as xx.xx dBm on
the second line of the LCD screen.
• Connect the jumper to be tested to the light source and the optical power meter.
The difference between the current optical power value and the reference power
value will be calculated by the optical power meter and displayed as y.yy dB on the
third line of the LCD screen, which is approximately insertion loss of the jumper.
Note:
1. P {Reference power value) (dBm)= p (Light source output power) (dBm)-L (Insertion
loss of the std test jumper) (dB)

INFORMATION ON WASTE DISPOSAL FOR CONSUMERS OF ELECTRICAL &
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT.
These symbols indicate that separate collection of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) or waste batteries is required. Do not dispose of these items with general household
waste. Separate for the treatment, recovery and recycling of the materials used. Waste batteries
can be returned to any waste battery recycling point which are provided by most battery retailers.
Contact your local authority for details of the battery and WEEE recycling schemes available in
your area. Made in China. LS12 2QQ

2. L (Insertion loss of the jumper to be tested) (dB)= [P (reference power value)
(dBm)-p (current power value) (dBm)] -L (Insertion loss of the std test jumper) (dB)
Frequency identication function
• When connected to the light source with 270Hz, 1000Hz or 2000Hz signal, the
optical power meter will automatically recognize the frequency and display XXXX
Hz on the LCD.
MAINTENANCE
SPECIFICATIONS
• Please keep the end face of the sensor clean, free from grease and contamination.
• Do not use unclean or non-standard adapter connectors.
• Replace the connector dust cap when not in use.
• Clean the casing using a moist cloth and mild detergent. Do not use any form of
solvents.
• When the low battery symbol displays on the LCD, remove the 4 screws in the
battery cover on the back of the meter and replace the 3 x 1.5V AA batteries to
avoid any inaccuracies in readings taken.
USB charging port
• This feature is for charging of internal lithium batteries only and is not implemented
on this model.
