Safety Instructions
Safety Terms Used in This Manual
The WARNING sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a
procedure which could result in personnel injury.
The CAUTION sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an
operating procedure if not correctly performed or adhered to, could
result in damage to or destruction of part or the entire product.
The NOTE sign information that may be beneficial during the use
and maintenance of the instrument.
PON Power Meter is a laser device, user should always avoid direct
eye exposure to the laser output. Using microscope or magnifier to
observe the laser output should also be avoided: laser beam may
converge on the retina and cause permanent eye injury.
Battery: PPM-50 battery type is lithium battery.
Battery Power Supply: 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: PPM-50 support external power supply:
5V DC/750mA. External power supply is optional.
Laser Radiation: To avoid serious eye injury, never look directly
into the optical outputs of fiber optic network equipment, test
equipment,

Always avoid looking directly into the optical output port,
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.

2.2.3 Indicator
Charging indicator
Test record indicator. Only when “Threshold On/Off”is
on
2.3 Use of Battery
PPM-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 PPM-50 as
long as its display on LCD is identifiable. When LCD display becomes dim, laser source
output will become unstable and power meter measurement will be inaccurate. Please
charge as soon as possible when battery is low to ensure accurate measurement.
Please take out the battery if PPM-50 is not in use for a long time.
2.4 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 PPM-50 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;

PPM-50 PON Power Meter User’s Manual

Extra optical power attenuation;
Received optical power is beyond normal range.
