Description

*       * The OPM210 power meter measures optical power at 850 nm, 1300 nm, 1310 nm, 1490nm, 1550nm and 1625 nm between a power range of +6 to -70dBm. The OPM210 is supplied standard with a universal 2.5mm bulkhead. The OPM210 is supplied with a 1mW Visual Fault Locator that is used to measure fiber breaks, discontinuities and Macrobends. The VFL has a universal 2.5mm interface with an optional 1.25mm adapter available.

The OPM220 power meter measures optical power at 850 nm, 1300 nm, 1310 nm, 1490nm, 1550nm and 1625 nm between a power range of +26 to -40dBm. The OPM210 is supplied standard with a universal 2.5mm bulkhead. The OPM220 is supplied with a 1mW Visual Fault Locator that is used to measure fiber breaks, discontinuities and Macrobends. The VFL has a universal 2.5mm interface with an optional 1.25mm adapter available.

This symbol is used to call your attention to hazards or unsafe practices that could result in an injury or property damage. The signal word, defined below, indicates the severity of the hazard. The message after the signal word provides information for preventing or avoiding the hazard.

DANGER

Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL result in severe injury or death.

WARNING

Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in severe injury or death.

CAUTION

Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided, MAY result in injury or property damage.

WARNING

Read and understand this material before operating or servicing this equipment. Failure to understand how to safely operate this tool could result in an accident causing serious injury or death.

WARNING

Electric shock hazard:
Contact with live circuits could result in severe injury or death.

Important Safety Information

Caution

The OPM210 and OPM220 instrument has a laser device, a Visual Fault Locator (VFL) conforming to the requirements of CDRH, CFR 1040, Subchapter J. While there is no potential for eye damage due to unaided direct exposure, users should always avoid looking directly into the output port. The use of optical viewing instruments, such as micro- scopes, magnifiers, etc., should always be avoided. The use of such devices around active fibers can focus an intense beam of light energy onto the retina of the eye, which can result in permanent damage.

CAUTION

Laser hazard:

*       * When performing measurements on fiber optic systems, avoid eye exposure to any open-ended fibers, optical connectors, optical interfaces, or other sources because they may be connected to active laser transmitters.

Do not look into the optical port when a source is turned on.
Avoid looking at the free end of a test fiber, i.e., the end not connected to the instrument. If possible, direct the free end toward a non-reflective surface.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury.

Important Safety Information

CAUTION

Electric shock hazard:

```
*       * Do not insert batteries with the polarity reversed.
```
- Do not open the case of the unit for any reason. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
- Use this unit for the manufacturer’s intended purpose only, as described in this manual. Any other use can impair the protection provided by the unit.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury and may damage the unit.

CAUTION

Instrument damage hazard:

```
*       * Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight or near direct sources of heat.
```
- Protect the unit from strong impacts or shock.
- Do not immerse the unit in water or store in areas with high humidity.
- When necessary, clean the case, front panel, and rubber cover with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasives, harsh chemicals, or solvents.
- Replace the interface dust cap(s) when the unit is not in use.
- Store the unit and interface adapters in a cool, dry, and clean place.
  Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury and may damage the unit.
