0BSafety Instructions
The WARNING sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a
procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in personnel injury. Do not proceed beyond a
WARNING sign until the indicated conditions are fully understood
and met.
The CAUTION sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an
operating procedure, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in damage to or destruction of part or the
entire product. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION sign until the
indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
The NOTE sign information that may be beneficial during the use
and maintenance of the instrument.
➢Always avoid looking directly into the optical output port,
Users should avoid looking directly into optic output of any working
laser source or live fiber. And the use of microscope or magnifier
should also be avoided, for the use of such devices can focus a highly
intense beam onto the retina, which may result in permanent eye
damage
Battery: OPM-50 battery type is lithium battery. Do not take battery
out without technical staff’s assistance. Do not expose battery to fire
or intense heat. Do not open or mutilate battery. Avoid touching the
electrolyte in the battery, which is corrosive and may cause injuries to
eyes, skin or damage to clothes.
External Power Supply: Power Adaptor, 5V DC/750mA
Laser Radiation: To avoid serious eye injury, never look directly into
the optical outputs of fiber optic network equipment, test equipment,
patch cords, or test jumpers.

when the instrument is working
➢Always replace protective dust cap on the detector port when
the instrument is not in use.
➢Always avoid looking directly at unconnected end of optic
fiber in testing and make the unconnected end pointing at a
non-reflective object.

9B1.3 Introduction
ShinewayTechP

POPM-50 paired with SLS-50 Intelligent Stabilized Laser Source can be
used to identify fiber, measure attenuation and loss, verify continuity and evaluate fiber
link transmission quality.
Features:

OPM-50 User’s Manual
Shineway Technologies, Inc. - 5 -
➢Automatic wavelength identification
➢Automatic loss measurement
➢Remote reference value setting
➢FTTx applicable
➢Internal clock & fiber S/N editable
➢Memory of 1000 test records
➢Data Transfer to PC via USB
➢USB power charging
➢No warm-up, quick start
➢Backlight
➢125 hours continuous operation
➢Pocketsize, lightweight and easy-to-use
➢CE FCC certificates
Automatic Wavelength Identification
Compatible with the digital encryption protocols of SLS-50, OPM-50 can automatically
identify the wavelength of the optical signals transmitted from SLS-50 and switch to the
corresponding test mode, which greatly reduces the workload at both ends and risk of
potential error.
Remote Reference Value Setting
OPM-50 can receive the power parameters of digital-encrypted signal transmitted from
SLS-50 as reference for precise link loss measurement even the two units are far apart.
Internal Clock & Fiber S/N Editable
Internal clock enables OPM-50 to save test data with time and editable fiber SN
information.
Compatible with FTTx Test
OPM-50 can be applied to measure Triple-play signals (1310nm, 1490nm and 1550nm) on
Passive Optical Network (PON).

12B2.3 Use of Battery
OPM-50 works on lithium battery, please make sure battery is mounted properly before
use. When battery is low, low battery indicator will appear on LCD. You can still use
OPM-50 as long as its display on LCD is identifiable. Please charge as soon as possible
when battery is low to ensure accurate measurement.
Please take out the battery if OPM-50 is not in use for a long time.
13B2.4 Connector Cleaning
Please follow the instructions below when cleaning:
➢Turn off the instrument before cleaning.
➢Non-compliant operation may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
➢Turn off laser source before cleaning optical interface.
➢Always avoid looking directly into the optical output port when the instrument is
working, laser is invisible and can cause serious eye damage.
➢Disconnect instrument from power supply before cleaning to prevent electric
shock.
➢Do not install unauthorized parts or make unauthorized adjustments on instrument.
➢Please consult qualified professional about maintenance and repair services.
Always clean optical connector before using optical power meter to ensure accurate
measurement. Clean the optical connector gently with cleaning swab.
Inappropriate maintenance may result in low performance or error:
➢Distance error increases;
➢Linearity error;
➢Extra optical power attenuation;
➢Received optical power is beyond normal range.

In this interface, if the laser source (ShinewayTech laser source with AutoID function) on
the other side of the tested fiber enables AutoID, then the optical power meter will
automatically identify the incoming signal wavelength and set the reference value sent from
the laser source as reference (“AutoID”will appear in this interface) to enhance the testing
efficiency and avoid potential operation fault. If the laser source does not enable AutoID
function, user can press button to set currently measured power value as reference
value or manually adjust the reference value.
If you need manually adjust reference value, press button to enter reference setting
