E) Peak Hold Keypad: Allows the display to indicate the peak value being measured. The display will indicate "P" when this feature is activated. F) Power/Irradiance Keypad: Provides the user with the ability to select between measuring power in "mW" or 'W" or irradiance in "mW/cm2"...
Using the EXFO Radiometer NOTE: The EXFO Radiometer defaults to the measurement mode it was in when it last automatically turned off. 4.1 Turning on the EXFO Radiometer The hand held Radiometer is not fitted with an ON / OFF switch.
10 seconds after the light guide has been removed. The display will flash for 5 seconds before powering down. The EXFO Radiometer automatically detects 3, 5 or 8 mm diameter light guides and calculates the irradiance accordingly when the appropriate adapter is used.
display the peak value. Any subsequent measurements that are lower than the Peak mode reading will not be displayed. 4.5 Relative Measurement: The Relative mode allows the user to display measure- ments as a percentage of a reference value. Begin by inserting the light guide into the optical port on the top of the Radiometer.
4.6 Using Non-Standard Light Guides: NOTE: If a light guide with an active area diameter other than a 3, 5 or 8 mm is to be used in conjunction with this Radiometer: 1. S e l e c t the light guide adapter that is the closest match to the diameter of the light guide to be used.
