OLP-37XV2 OPTICAL POWER METER
1 INTRODUCTION
1INTRODUCTION
OLP-37XV2 Optical Power Meter
The OLP-37XV2 is a specialized optical power meter designed
for use cases such as system/network qualification, subscriber
activation, and troubleshooting of passive optical network (PON)
and radio frequency over glass (RFoG) installations.
The instrument performs wavelength selective optical power
measurements suitable for testing G-PON networks, as defined
in ITU-T G.983/4 or IEEE 802.3ah and XGS-PON networks, as
defined in ITU-T G.9807.1 respectively.
An integrated pass/fail analysis feature simplifies standard
conformity and optical budget/margin testing, and provides
unambiguous measurement result presentation.
With PC-based reporting, all test results can be summarized in a
professional, industry-proven report.
Main features
The OLP-37XV2 offers many helpful features that are optimized
to workflows of typical telecom and cable TV operators, and thus
ensure that test times are kept as short as possible.
• Accurate and repeatable wavelength selective power
measurements
• Unambiguous pass/fail result presentation and user definable
pass/fail thresholds
• Data storage for up to 1000 measurements
• USB-C interface for measurement data transfer to a laptop or
PC
• Easy operation and instantly ready to operate
• Versatile power supply options using dry or rechargeable
batteries or via the USB-C interface
• Automatic power-off (can be disabled)
• Color-coded test head cover for easy distinction between APC
and PC connector types
• Display of G-PON and XGS-PON signals simultaneously
• Smart-Reporter PC software for data management and report
generation

WARNING
Dangerous laser radiation
Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to the eyes
and skin.
The maximum permitted power for the OLP-37XV2 means that
the optical input signals can reach Hazard Level 4, depending
on the device type.
Bear this in mind when using the OLP-37XV2.
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.
