Page 3: General
1.0 General Thank you for purchasing a Noyes Fiber Systems SMLP 5-5 Singlemode / Multimode Light Pack. The SMLP 5-5 provides the tools necessary to perform power and loss measurements on fiber optic transmission systems. The SMLP 5-5 includes the OLS 5-5 Light Source, the OPM 5-2C Optical Power Meter, an adapter cap, carry case, PC software, serial cable, protective rubber boots, trace pads and user’s guides. -

2.0 Functional Descriptions 2.1 OLS 5-5 Light Source 1 - 850 nm Output Port and Adjustment - The 850 nm optical output is a ST connector. Nominal output power is -20 dBm into 62.5/125 µm fiber and may be adjusted by ±... -

2.2 OPM 5-2C Optical Power Meter 1 - Universal Adapter Interface - The threaded optical detector interface allows connection to various fiber optic connector styles. Adapter caps, purchased separately, convert the adapter interface to the required connector style. Refer to section 3.2 for a list of available adapter caps. 2 - Liquid Crystal Display - Measurements are displayed in the lower four digits in absolute power (dBm or µW) or direct loss (dB) with annunciators defining REF (a reminder that measurements are referenced), and BAT (low battery). - Page 6 (approximately three seconds) switches the OPM 5-2C to a microwatt (µW) mode. Note: Switching between dB, dBm, and µW will not affect the stored reference levels. 5 - Store and Recall - Selecting the Store key saves the currently displayed reading in the next available memory location and flashes the location number.

Holding the λ λ λ λ key until “HELD” is displayed (approximately 3 seconds) briefly displays the percentage of battery life remaining. 9 - Serial - The Serial connector is used for printing or transferring previously stored loss measurements. Data can be printed to an optional thermal printer or transferred to a PC for complete report generation using the supplied software. -
Page 8: Required Accessories
The OPM 5-2C Optical Power Meter requires an "Adapter Cap" to interface to the fiber optic system under test. Note that an adapter cap of your choice is provided with the SMLP 5-5 kit. Having an assortment of adapter caps on hand would allow the greatest flexibility if there is limited access to patch cables. -
Page 9: Typical Applications
The SMLP 5-5 kit measures absolute power (in dBm or µW ) and loss (dB). Absolute power expressed in dBm is the amount of optical power received by the detector as compared to 1mW (0dBm=1mW). Measuring dBm is useful for verifying the output power of an optical transmitter. -

OLS 5-5. If this still cannot be achieved, try cleaning the optical connections again and check for excessive bends in the fiber or contact Noyes Figure 3 - Reference Level Diagram... -
Page 11: Optical Loss Measurement
If the dBm reading is acceptable, hold the Ref key until "HELD" displays. The meter automatically "zeroes" the display and begins measuring direct loss. The display will read 0.00 dB. The hundredths' digit may vary slightly due to movement of the fiber and minor variations in the output power from the OLS 5-5. 3.5 Optical Loss Measurement (Step B) Without removing a launch jumper from the OLS 5-5 Optical Light Source, connect the OLS 5-5 and OPM 5-... -
Page 12: Editing A Specific Memory Location
3.6 Editing a Specific Memory Location The OPM 5-2C provides 500 memory locations for each of the four wavelengths. A specific memory location can be changed to correct errors or bad measurements found when viewing the data. Example: You test and store the measurements for a 48 fiber bundle. After transferring the data to the PC you analyze the results and find that location #23 appears to have had a problem. -
Page 13: Verifying Output Power
3.7 Verifying Output Power Turn on the OPM 5-2C and select the proper wavelength by pressing the λ λ λ λ key. (Check the specifications of the transmitter to determine the correct wavelength.) Turn on the transmitter and allow it to stabilize. Clean the fiber connector and connect to the OPM 5-2C. -
Page 14: Maintenance
It is important to keep the dust cap in place when the unit is not being used. 4.3 Calibration Calibration of the SMLP 5-5 is recommended every 12 months. Please refer to section 5.4 for information on returning equipment. -
