Introduction

The AQ2170 series are full featured mini sized and lightweight
optical power meters designed for use with an optical Light source
to perform optical loss measurements on optical fiber cables.
Optical connections to the AQ2170 are made via the universal
adapter interface on the top of the unit.
The instrument has 7 working wavelengths(The AQ2170H is 5
wavelengths) to totally satisfy your needs.
It can be extensively used in telecommunication projects and
other situations where optical power of wavelengths close to
infrared ray needs to be measured.

Features

Small size with light weight, saving power and easy to carry
Unit-shifting automatically, auto-off, power capacity display
on the LCD
Supply with linear and logarithmic optical power display
