OLP-35V2/-35SC/-38V2 OPTICAL POWER METERS
1 INTRODUCTION
1INTRODUCTION
OLP-35V2/-35SC/-38V2
Optical Power Meters
The handheld Optical Power Meters
• OLP-35V2 (BN 2333/12)
• OLP-35SC (BN 2333/13)
• OLP-38V2 (BN 2333/14)
measure power levels on fiber optical systems.
The Test Sets are specially designed for high performance
testing of all optical signals and systems, i.e. broadband, PONs,
and Gigabit Ethernet.
Battery operation from two AA batteries and the robust, shock-
proof design provide long operating time in the field even under
tough conditions. AC line operation via a separate AC adapter
and the USB interface ensure ease of use in the laboratory or
production environment.
Common features
All OLP-3xV2 power meters can connect to single-mode and
multi-mode fibers with a max. core diameter of 50 µm.
Tests on systems from different manufacturers with different
connector types are easy to handle due to the UPP adapter for
1.25 and 2.5 mm ferrules (OLP-35V2/-38V2 only).
A suitable optical source is required for measuring attenuation.
The Viavi OLS-3x and OLS-3xV2 Optical Light Sources are ideal
for this application.
Both modulated and unmodulated light signals can be
measured. The average power of modulated light signals is
displayed.
Modulated signal mode, which uses different fixed frequencies,
can be used to identify fibers in a fiber bundle, for example.
The “Auto-“ function provided by the OLP-3xV2 Optical Power
Meters allows automatic wavelength detection. This application
requires a wavelength encoding light source, e.g. one of the
Viavi OLS-3x or OLS-3xV2 Optical Light Sources.

2 SAFETY INFORMATION
LASER SAFETY
Laser safety
Battery operation
WARNING
Dangerous laser radiation
Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to the eyes
and skin.
The maximum permitted power for the OLP-3xV2 means that
the optical input signals can reach Hazard Level 4, depending
on the device type.
Bear this in mind when using the OLP-3xV2.
JAlways be aware of the hazard level of the device to be
connected.
JConnect all optical fibers before switching on the radiation
source.
JSwitch off the laser source before disconnecting the optical
fibers.
JNever look directly into the output of a laser source or into
an optical fiber connected to it.
JAlways cover unused ports.
JHeed the normal precautions for working with laser radiation
and consider local regulations.
WARNING
Explosion danger
Short-circuiting the batteries can result in overheating,
explosion or ignition of the batteries and their surround-
ings.
JNever short-circuit the battery contacts by touching both
contacts simultaneously with an electrically conductive
object.
JOnly use AA size dry batteries or rechargeable batteries.
JTake care to insert the batteries correctly.
JNever use batteries based on lithium.
