DLS 360 Dual Laser Source

Device Manual and Quick-Start Guide

The DLS 360 dual laser source is a singlemode test laser used for verifying the proper

function of fiber optic networks. This document will serve as an overview of the major

features and functions of the device and will offer tips for troubleshooting common issues

in optical networks.

Device Overview

Connector Adapter - Interchangeable

The DLS 360 comes with an SC screw-on adapter. Additional adapters are available from ODM; see

page 4 of this document for more information.

Wavelength Indicator

This unit offers 1490nm and 1625nm wavelengths. When the DLS 360 is turned on, the red

light indicates which wavelength is selected. The red light will blink to indicate when the 2kHz

modulation is turned ON.

Low Battery Indicator

A red indicator light will appear when the CR2 battery power is low. Replace the battery to return

to normal operation of the DLS 360.

Power Button

Press this button to turn the DLS 360 ON and OFF. The unit will turn off automatically after 15

minutes. To bypass the auto-shutoff, hold the power button for 5 seconds when turning ON.

2kHz Button

Toggles 2kHz modulation of currently-selected wavelength output. Laser flashes at 2000 times per

second to provide a recognizable signal to a companion power meter. Output power of the laser is

reduced by 3dB when the modulation is active.

Wavelength Button

Switches between the 1490nm and 1625nm wavelength.

External Power Port

Accepts AC 030 power supply. Power supply is not a battery charger, just battery bypass.

Page 2 Caution: Invisible Laser Radiation Please note that 1490nm and 1625nm wavelengths are not visible to the human eye. Do not look directly into the output port of the DLS 360 or directly into any fiber connector that may be live.
Page 3 Caring for the DLS 360 Output Port The DLS 360 utilizes a physical fiber connection at the output port. This ensures a steady power level for performing insertion loss tests. Be aware that any test jumpers must be inspected and cleaned before plugging into the DLS 360 unit.
