Users Manual

To set the reference:

Clean the connectors on the meter, source, and a test

reference cord. Use fiber optic solvent and optical-

grade wipes or swabs to clean connectors as described

on page 15.

Turn on the meter and source and let them warm up

for 5 minutes. Allow additional time if the equipment

has been stored above or below ambient temperature.

Make the connections shown Figure 10.

If the source’s AUTO LED is not on, press A.

If you want to set the reference for both wavelengths,

pre

ss Z until the wavelength LEDs blink alternately.

Note

If you are not using a SimpliFiber Pro source, set the

source

to the desired wavelength and continuous

wave output.

On the meter, press M until POWER appears (see

Figure 8 on page 23).

Notes

You cannot set the reference if Min or Ma

x appear

on the display. See page 24.

Setting the reference from power mode lets you

see the

source’s power level before saving it as the

reference level. You may also set the reference

from loss mode.

Press T SET REF. The meter switches to loss mode, the

display shows 0.00 dB, OK appears briefly, and the new

reference value appears.

If the reference value is less than -60 dBm or if the

source i

s in ID or 2 kHz mode, the meter briefly shows

and O. Check the connections and the source’s

mode or try setting the reference again using another

tes

t reference cord.

WCaution

If you disconnect the source’s output after setting

the reference, you must set the reference again to

ensure valid measurements.
