1. Before Using the Instrument
1-1. Foreword
Thank you for purchasing the AQ2160-02 Optical Powermeter.
This user’s manual contains useful information about the instrument’s
functions and operating procedures and lists important handling
precautions. To ensure proper use of the instrument, please read this
manual thoroughly before beginning operation. After reading this
manual, keep it in a convenient location for quick reference in the event
a question arises during operation.
1-2. Features of this Instrument
The AQ2160-02 is a handheld optical powermeter for measuring optical
power levels. Optical loss can be measured by using the instrument in
conjunction with a AQ4270 series light source. The instrument
measures wavelengths in the range from 750 to 1700 nanometers, and
target wavelengths can be specified in 5 nm steps. In addition to
absolute values, relative values indicating the difference from a
reference value can also be measured. Also, measured data can be
saved to the instrument’s memory for later recall. Data can also be
transferred to a PC for analysis via USB. As the AQ is designed to
prevent, as much as possible, entry of incorrect settings, it allows even
first time users to operate the instrument with confidence.
1-3. Warranty
Prior to shipment, all Yokogawa products must pass strict testing based
on the Yokogawa Quality Assurance System. However, should any
damage occur during manufacturing or shipping that becomes evident
during normal use, please contact the sales office at our headquarters
or your nearest Yokogawa representative. Should this product
experience any malfunction during the warranty period (within one year
from the day of delivery) Yokogawa shall repair the product free of
charge. However, this warranty is invalid for malfunction or damage
resulting from user error, rework or modifications performed by the user,
or natural disasters, even during the warranty period. Also, the warranty
for this product is only valid inside Japan.
