Measuring Optical Power with OPM meter It is important to keep all optical connections and surfaces clean to ensure accurate measurements and operation. Always clean all test jumpers before conducting tests. Turn on OPM (optical power meter). Select the appropriate fiber optic test jumper. The fiber type of this jumper must be the same as the fiber type normally connected to the output being measured.

Testing Multimode or Single-mode Links Step I - Set the Reference (One Jumper Method) Turn on the OPM and OLS. Allow OLS to stabilize (minimum of 2 minutes). If not using WAVE ID feature, set both instruments to the desired wavelength. Select transmit and receive jumpers (fiber type must match link to be tested).

Testing Multimode or Single-mode Links Step II - Verify Test Jumpers Disconnect the transmit jumper from the OPM. Do not disturb the transmit jumper at the OLS end! If needed, change OPM adapter cap to match receive jumper connector. Clean both ends of the receive jumper! Connect the receive jumper to the OPM.
