Do NOT insert APC connector into either light source port Press to power on the Dual OWL multimode light source. The left-hand indicator LED (850nm) will be lit. Press to power on the ZOOM 2 optical power meter. on the ZOOM 2 so that the wavelength is set to ‘850nm’.
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDES Optical Power Meter: ZOOM 2 Fiber Optic Light Source: DUAL OWL Series PAGE 3 OF 5 PART 1 – VERIFY EQUIPMENT OPERATION; cont. Connect a mandrel-wrapped patch cable between the detector port on the ZOOM 2 and the left-hand port (850nm) on the Dual OWL (Figure 4).
If testing at 1300nm is also required, a separate mandrel-wrapped patch cable is required. Leaving the 850nm mandrel-wrapped patch cable connected to the Dual OWL, connect a separate mandrel-wrapped patch cable to the 1300nm port on the Dual OWL and the detector port on the ZOOM 2 (Figure 5). Leave mandrel-wrapped...
ZOOM 2 is set to ‘850nm’. Press so that the Dual OWL is set to ‘850nm’. The left-hand indicator LED will be lit. Press Record the 850nm reading for the current fiber under test then disconnect the patch cables from both ends of the patch panel and move to the next port on the patch panel.
