contact the manufacturer to request servicing.
WARNING! Use only the specified AC adapter. Use of another type of AC adapter can damage
the instrument and create the danger of fire and electrical shock.
CAUTION! To avoid serious eye injury, never look directly into the optical outputs of fiber optic
network equipment, test equipment, patch cords, or test jumpers. Always assume that optical
outputs are on.
CAUTION!
- Observe the polarity markings on the bottom of the battery box when installing AA batteries
- Do NOT insert a 9V battery into unit. It is designed to operate from 2xAA batteries only
NOTICE! NOYES power meters and light sources contain no user serviceable parts. Except
for changing batteries and cleaning optical ports, these units must be returned to NOYES or
authorized agents for repair and calibration.
IMPORTANT! Proper care in handling should be taken when using any precision optical test
equipment. Scratched or contaminated optical connectors can impact the performance of the
instrument. It is important to keep the dust caps in place when the unit is not being used.

General Information
Introduction
The purpose of this User’s Guide is to explain how to use and maintain NOYES test equipment.
Please check our web site at www.AFLglobal.com/go/NOYES for updates to this manual, software
updates, and additional application information. If you have any questions about your instruments and
recommended accessories, or if you need technical or sales support, please contact NOYES Customer
Service.
Contacting NOYES Customer Service
You may call NOYES Customer Service between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., United States Eastern Time, as
follows:
Phone: 800-321-5298•603-528-7780

Unpacking and Inspection
These instruments have been carefully packed in accordance with standard shipping procedures. Examine
the equipment for damage that may have occurred during shipment. If you find any damage, please
contact NOYES.
Recommended Accessories
You will need fiber optic test jumpers to connect instruments to the fiber optic system under test. A test
jumper must have the same core and cladding size as the fiber under test. The connector at one end of
the test jumper must mate with the optical port on each instrument. The connector on the other end must
mate with the fiber optic system under test.
A Connector adapter is required to mate fiber optic test jumpers.
An OPM optical port must be equipped with an adapter cap. A variety of adapter caps, connector
adapters, and test jumpers with a variety of lengths and connector styles are available from AFL - NOYES.
Optical ports and connector end faces must be kept free from dirt or other contaminates to ensure
accurate measurements and operation.
For cleaning connector end faces on OLS light sources, test jumpers, and in fiber frames or adapters, use
optical quality cleaning fluid such as AFL FCC2 connector cleaning fluid and AFL CCT molded cleaning
tips.
For cleaning OPM optical ports and adapter caps, use lint-free optical cleaning wipes such as AFL
FiberWipes and optical quality cleaning fluid such as AFL FCC2 connector cleaning fluid (or IPA - Reagent
Grade Isopropyl Alcohol 99% or better) and a can of filtered compressed air.
Visit our web at www.AFLglobal.com/go/Clean for more information.

OLS-Series Light Sources
OLS1-Dual Features
1. Output port - Universal Connector Interface (UCI). Accepts swappable SC connector (ST, FC, and LC
connector styles are available).
2. Active Output indicators (illuminated when the corresponding output port is ON) - The Active
Output indicators light up as follows:
Test Mode Active Output indicator status
WAVE ID dual Wave 850 and 1300 indicator - ON continuous light
WAVE ID single Wave corresponding indicator - ON continuous light
CW corresponding indicator - ON blinking light
3. 850/1300/CW key - Wavelengths select key provides several functions.

•Press and hold the key to switch to the CW mode at the currently selected wavelength.
Note: If the OLS1 operates in the Dual WAVE ID mode, it will switch the output port to the next
wavelength in a sequence as follows:

•Press the key to return to the WAVE ID mode at the currently selected wavelength.
4. Power key - Press and hold the key until all indicators light up to turn the OLS1-Dual on or off. The
instrument turns on in its default condition: 850/1300 nm Dual mode sending Wavelength ID.
5. Low Battery indicator - Lights up when a Low Battery condition exists; batteries require
replacement.
6. External Power indicator - Lights up, whether the unit is on or off, when the correct AC power
adapter is connected.
7. Power port (located on the top panel) - This is the interface for an AC power adapter.

OLS2-Dual features
1. Power key - Press and hold the key until all indicators light up to turn the OLS2-Dual On or Off. The
instrument turns on in its last operating condition it was in prior to being turned off.
2. Power port (located on the top panel) - This is the interface for an AC power adapter.
3. External Power indicator - Lights up, whether the unit is on or off, when the correct AC power
adapter is connected.
4. Low Battery indicator - Lights up when a Low Battery condition exists; batteries require

5. Output port - Universal Connector Interface (UCI). Accepts swappable SC connector (ST, FC, and LC
connector styles are available).
6. Active Output indicators - The Active Output indicators light up when the corresponding output port
is on.
7. Wavelengths -lkey - Wavelength select key changes the active output wavelength(s) as indicated
below for each operational mode.
