The Product Information found herein pertain to the Fiber Meter, Part Number AFT-G-
FM-3DG-BT-SM-MM.
Description
SENKO Bluetooth Power Meter is mainly used for checking the signal output power of
the optical communication equipment in thefiber optic networks. The device measures
the average power of a continuous light beam emitted from the source. Operating
wavelengths 850nm/1310nm/1550nm.
The Fiber Meter consists of a solid state InGaAs photo diode, signal power
measurement circuitry, and a 3 Digits LED display. The DUT connects between the
transmission port and the universal interface on the Fiber Meter. The product displays
accurate loss of transmission power (in dBm/dB).
The universal connector works with most common fiber interfaces such as ST / SC /
FC and it is suitable to test both Single mode and Multimode cables. With an optical
2.5 mm to 1.25 mm adapter.
Dimensions and Materials
All materials comply with RoHS Restricted Hazardous Substances as detailed in
‘DIRECTIVE 2002/95/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLAMENT AND OF THE
COUNCIL of 27 January 2003 on the Restriction of the use of Certain Hazardous
Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS)’

Operating Instructions
The Fiber Meter is powered by two 1.5v AAA batteries.
INITIAL CALIBRATION: Keep the Dust Cap closed and then turn on the Fiber
Meter by pressing the Button. The LED will show “CA” which means the Initial
Calibration is proceeding. After 3 seconds the LED display will show “Lo” which
means the Fiber Meter has completed the Initial Calibration successfully and can
now be operated.
Lift the front Dust Cap up and insert one end of the fiber cable into the universal
connector or directly insert it into an output connector of a fiber device or Power
Source.
Switch the slide switch to 850 nm position (for measuring Multimode fiber) or to
1310nm / 1550 nm position (for measuring Single mode fiber). The LED figure
shows the actual receiving input power values.
“Lo” will be displayed when the actual power received is under measuring range.
When the input power is higher than the measuring range, “Hi” is displayed on the
LED indicator.
To measure the power loss of a fiber cable, you need a steady power source. For
example, the light source output power is -20 dBm after a fiber cable transmission
and the -10 dBm is read directly from the LD power source. This means there is at
least a 10 dB power loss after the fiber transmission.
When the LED shows “Cb“(Check Battery), it means that the batteries are almost
drained and in a low voltage state. You need to replace the batteries right away.
Do not touch the fiber’s interface in order to avoid dirt contaminating the connector.
Keep the fiber connector capped at all times when the device is not in use.
If you use proper tools to clean the fiber before testing, you will obtain accurate test
results and ensure longer device service.
