operating

Connect the power cable on the rear panel and set the power switch to “ON”. The instrument begins a self-test, illuminates all of the light-emitting devices, and then enters the initial state. The initial state of the instrument is as follows:

a. Measuring method: dBm;

b. Measuring wavelength: 1310 nm;

c. Range (RH): automatic mode;

d. Zero (ZERO): off;

e. Average (AVG): Off.

Measurement preparation

1). Preheat for half an hour after starting up. If the measurement requirements are not high, warm up for a few minutes;

2). Zeroing

Zeroing is mainly to eliminate the effects of residual dark current and weak background light of the photodetector. When zeroing, the input port must be completely blocked (note: the plastic protective cover cannot be completely blocked). It can also be zeroed under weak background light, but the background light power value cannot exceed half of the minimum range value;

When zeroing, you can do it automatically by simply pressing the “ZERO” button. During the zero adjustment process, the indicators above the “ZERO” and “RH” buttons light up. Except the wavelength setting button “λSET” and the measurement button “MEAS” on the panel, the other control buttons do not work until the end of zero adjustment. No light, each control button returns to normal.

3). Setting wavelength

After power on, the instrument automatically sets to a wavelength of 1310 (nm). To change the measurement wavelength, press the “λSET” button, and the indicator above it will light. At this time, the “Digital Display Window” (10) displays the corresponding number of wavelengths (nm). Each time the button is pressed, a selected wavelength is changed. At the same time, it is displayed in the “Digital Display Window” (10). The value can be cycled between 850, 980, 1300, 1310, 1480 and 1550 (nm). After pressing the “MEAS” button, the last displayed wavelength is selected. At the same time, transfer to the measurement state.

4). Connect the FC-PC type test cable connection cable.

measuring

1). General measurement

When the instrument is in the measurement state, the display mode of the measurement data can be selected as “dBm” or “W” according to the user's habits and test characteristics. Press the “WdBm” button to complete, press the button once, and the display mode is “dBm”. Or "W" exchange once. Both of these methods are absolute values ​​of the displayed data, and "dBm" is a logarithmic representation of the value in terms of one milliwatt.

2). Relative measurement "dB(REL)"

If you want to get relative measurement data, such as loss measurement, you can use the "dB (REL)" button to achieve. First measure according to the general measurement method (dBm) (get the initial value), then press the “dB(REL)” button (the current measurement value when the button is pressed as the reference point), and then measure the changed optical power data, then The display data is the relative "dB" of the reference point for the initial value of the previous measurement.

3). Range selection and maintenance

When the indicator above the “RH” button does not emit light, it is in the auto range state, that is, the instrument automatically switches the appropriate range according to the magnitude of the measured optical power. Press the “RH” button once, the indicator above it will light, indicating that the instrument is in the range hold state and keep the range when pressing this button. In the overrange and underrange, the “OR” or “UR” indicator will correspond accordingly. The ground is illuminated, and the display number of the "digital display window" is constantly flashing, reminding the user that the appropriate range should be changed. This phenomenon also occurs when the input optical power exceeds the maximum range in the auto range state. At this time, the user must pay attention to the safety of the instrument.

4). Description

There are three ways to measure the optical power of the instrument: W, dBm and dB(REL), that is, linear display mode, logarithmic display mode and relative display mode.

a. Linear display mode (W)

This method is used to measure the absolute value of the optical power in units of watts (W). "W" is a basic unit of measurement of optical power, 1W = 1 × 103 mW = 1 × 106 μW = 1 × 109 nW = 1 × 1012 pW.

b. Logarithmic display mode (dBm)

The optical power value is expressed by the logarithm of the optical power value, and the unit is “decibel”. "dBm" is a method for expressing the absolute value of power with a reference point of 1 mW, and its unit is "dBm". That is, 1mW corresponds to 0dBm. The conversion of dBm and mW is as follows:

PdBm=10×lg(Pw÷1mW)..............................(1)

Where PdBm - power value in dBm

PW - power value in mW

c. Relative display mode (dB(REL))

In this way, the first measurement value P1dBm is used as the reference point. After pressing the “dB(REL)” key (refer to 4.2.22), and then the second measurement, the value is Pr, then there is :

Pr=P2dBm-P1dBm(dB)..............................(2)

Among them, Pr - relative measurement readings, in dB

P1dBm - the first measurement reading in dBm

P2dBm - reading with 1mW as the reference point, which means that the indicator above the "dB(REL)" key does not emit light, the unit is dBm.

The instrument automatically completes the (2) operation under the relative measurement state, and the direct reading is Pr, and the unit is dB.

5). Precautions

Before testing, you must have a certain understanding of the wavelength of the measured light and the amount of optical power. The correct measurement wavelength of the instrument must be chosen to get the correct measurement. Do not allow the input optical power to exceed the upper limit of the instrument's measurement range. When the wavelength is not correct (especially if the wavelength is shorter than 1100nm or longer than 1550nm), the input optical power is very strong, the instrument can not display, and the optical power is too strong. The photodetector that will burn the instrument.

The power supply preferably has a ground wire and the input supply voltage must be within the range required by the instrument.

If there is a sudden disturbance of the power supply system, the host display may be abnormal, the buttons on the panel do not work, and should be shut down as soon as possible to ensure that the power supply voltage of the power supply system is normal, and then restart the work.

The optical power input port must be connected and accurately positioned, otherwise the measurement result may be incorrect.

Fives. maintain

Reasonable use and proper storage of the instrument can maintain good performance indicators for a long time and prolong its service life, so it needs proper maintenance:

1) The instrument should avoid strong mechanical vibrations, collisions, drops and other mechanical damage. Good packaging and vibration, rain and waterproof measures must be taken during transportation;

2) The instrument should be kept clean and the working environment should be free of corrosive gases such as acid and alkali. Gently scrub the chassis and panel with a clean towel dampened with water or soapy water. Do not scrub with alcohol, gas oil or other solvents;

3) The light input port is directly connected to the light detector. When removing the cable connection cable, the dust cap should be put on immediately to prevent hard objects, dust or other dirt from touching the photosensitive surface, contaminating and damaging the light detector;

4) prohibit excessive light from directly entering the light input port;

5) The instrument should be stored in a clean and ventilated environment. If it is not used for a long time, it should be energized regularly. In humid seasons or wet areas, the interval between power-on should be shortened;

6) If the instrument fails, it should be repaired or repaired by a professional technician. It is forbidden to dismantle the instrument by yourself.
