Safety 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.
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: SLS-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 toclothes.
External Power Supply: (Optional) PowerAdaptor, 5V DC/750mA
Laser Radiation: To avoid serious eye injury, never look directly into
the optical output of fiber optic network equipment, test equipment,
patch cords or tested jumpers.

Always avoid looking directly into the optical output port, when the
instrument is working
Always put 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; point the unconnectedend at a non-reflective object.

1. General Information
1.1 Scope of this Manual
Thank you for purchasing ShinewayTechinstrument. Please read this manual carefully before
using ShinewayTechfiber optic instrument. Always be aware of the Warning and Caution sign
appearing throughout this manual.
This manual contains the information necessary for proper operation and maintenance of
ShinewayTechinstrument, troubleshooting instructions as well as information regarding
maintenance services.
All ShinewayTechinstruments are carefully assembled and undergo rigorous mechanical,
electrical, and optical inspection prior to shipment. Beside the instrument, the package also
includes a lithium battery pack, a charging/data transfer cable, a power adapter, a FC/PC flange
and this user's manual. For detailed information, please refer to the packing list.
Upon receiving the instrument, please check for any obvious signs of physical damage that may
have occurred during shipment. Report any damage to the shipping agent or the representative of
Shineway Technologies Inc. immediately. Retain the original packing materials in case reshipment
is necessary.
1.2 Unpacking and Inspection
This instrument has been carefully packed in accordance with standard shipping procedures.
Examine the instrument for damage that may have occurred during shipment. If you find any
damage or the instrument is not working, or if any of the following items are not included, please
contact your representative of Shineway Technologies, Inc.
If necessary, you may contact Shineway Technologies, Inc via this email:

1.3 Introduction
ShinewayTechSLS-50 can generate highly stable optical signals at multiple wavelengths to

SLS-50 User’s Manual
Shineway Technologies, Inc. - 5 -
precisely measure optical link loss and identify optical fiber paired with ShinewayTech OPM-50
Intelligent Optical Power Meter.
Features:
6dB adjustable power output range
Automatic wavelength identification
Remote reference value setting
FTTx applicable
USB power charging
No warm-up, quick start
Backlight display
Over 70 hours continuous operation
Pocketsize, lightweight and easy-to-use
CE, FCC, FDA certificates
Automatic Wavelength Identification
SLS-50 can transmit digital encrypted signals through tested fiber to OPM-50 which can
automatically identify input wavelength and switch to the corresponding test mode. This feature
greatly reduces the workload at both ends and avoids potential error.
6dB Adjustable Power Output Range
Output Power can be adjusted at minimum 0.01dB/step within a range of 6dB.
Remote Reference Value Setting
SLS-50 can transmit digital-encrypted signal with power parameters through tested fiber to
OPM-50 as reference for precise link loss measurementeven the two units are far apart.
Compatible with FTTx
SLS-50 can generate highly stable signals at 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm and 1625nm wavelength,
compliant with Passive Optical Network (PON) and FTTx standards.
Direct LCD Display of Output Power
The power value of SLS-50 output signal can be directly displayed on its screen for easy reference.

2.3 Use of Battery
SLS-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
SLS-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 SLS-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 installunauthorized 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 orerror:
Distance error increases;
