Procedure
Proceed as follows to check the mean launched power:
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
1 Clean the output port to be tested (see appendix A,
(p. A-24)).
...................................................................................................................................................................................................
Connect the optical power meter to that port.

Connecting the optical power meter with a transmit power exceeding the maximum power
limit, will cause the destruction of the power meter, as the input power is then too high.
The supported maximum optical power limit of the optical power meter must be greater
than the maximum mean launched power of the measured optical circuit pack to avoid
damage.
Measure the mean launched power at the connected port and enter the measured value in
the table provided in chapter 9.
OTE: The optical power meter must be set to the appropriate wavelength range (see
Table 8-1, "Mean launched power ranges" (p.
