1 Introducing the FOT-5200 CWDM Analyzer The FOT-5200 CWDM Analyzer is designed to measure and mark wavelengths in order to measure the exact power independently for each coarse wavelength division multilplexing (CWDM) channel. This instrument is portable and made to be appropriate to the outside environment. When using a broadband powermeter, only the total optical power of the combined CWDM channels can be measured.
Introducing the FOT-5200 CWDM Analyzer The picture below shows the FOT-5200, and the usage of the keypad essential in operating the measuring instrument.
Introducing the FOT-5200 CWDM Analyzer Main Functions The picture below shows the display screen when measuring a single channel. Date and time Current measurement Optical module detection status mode (shows X if not detected) Battery level Channel mode Current channel power Power unit Main Functions CWDM Analyzer Simultaneous measurement of optical power in all channels in a single scan, which is the key factor in the field of installation, maintenance and repair.

3 Setting Up and Operating your FOT-5200 Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers IMPORTANT To ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings: Always inspect fiber ends and make sure that they are clean as explained below before inserting them into the port. EXFO is not responsible for damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling. Ensure that your patchcord has appropriate connectors. Joining mismatched connectors will damage the ferrules.
Setting Up and Operating your FOT-5200 Turning Unit On and Off 3. Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside of the port or rubbing against other surfaces. If your connector features a key, ensure that it is fully fitted into the port’s corresponding notch. 4. Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place, thus ensuring adequate contact.
