Chapter 2: Overview
The WP-TEST-FIBER-400 Optical Power Meter is a newly designed fiber optic tester intended
for the installation, engineering acceptance, and maintenance of fibernetworks.
Compared with other power meters, the WP-TEST-FIBER-400 Power Meter has more functions,
including automatic wavelength identification, auto wavelength switching, intelligent backlight, and
data saving via USB port.
Combined with its matched handheld optical light source, it offers a quick and accurate testing
solution on both single mode and multimode fibers.
 WaveID:Autowavelengthidentification&switching
 FrequencyID:Autofrequencyidentification
 2 types of backlight modes: manual or automatic (ambient light-driven), indicated by red or
green LED lights.
 Intelligentbacklight
 Storage of up to 1000 records, downloadable via USB cable
 USBcommunicationportfordownloadingsavedtestingrecords
 Adjustable/storablereferencepowerlevel
 User self-calibratingfunction
 Auto-offfunction
 Upto200hrs battery life

(1) Power Key: Press to turn unit on or off
Power Saving Mode: Quickly press Power Key to activate the Auto-Shut Off. When active, the
unit will automatically shut off after 10 minutes idle time, whether using battery power supply or
AC power supply. In Auto-Shut off mode, “auto-off” will display on the bottom left of the screen.
This power saving setting is the default setting. The power meter will be in this mode when first
turned on. Quickly press the power key to turn off auto power saving mode.

Press for 2 seconds to enter wavelength auto-identification mode. The upper
right ofthescreen willdisplay“AU”. Press and hold this key to quit this function.
Wavelength auto-identification
(3) B acklight control (two modes of back light control; press this key to select):
• “LDR” indicates the intelligent backlight control mode. Power meter will
activate/deactivate the backlight in 15 seconds based on ambient light. This is the
defaultmode.
• Back light control key mode. Press to turn on/off the back light
(4) Saving/Data-Viewkey 。
Data-saving: can save up to 1000 records. . The screen will display the data saving
number. Ifsavingthedata,doublepress toconfirm

Stores the current power value as the reference value (displayed on the top right of the LCD
screen) while “Ref” also displays on the top right. It will compare the current power with the
reference power and show the relative power value in dB.

Dust Cap: Place the dust cap over the connectors when not in use to protect the optical connector
(2) OpticalConnector。
The standard for this power meter connector is SC & Φ2.5mm.
Note: When changing the optical connector, be careful of the connector and the
end-face. FC connector can connect with FC adaptor; Φ2.5mm universal connector can
connect with FC, SC, or ST adaptor. (Fig 4-9)
For LC testing, utilize included SC to LC reference patch cords and use included LC-type
adaptors for double-ended testing.
