GETTING STARTED Thank you for your purchase of this OWL certification test kit. Included in this kit is a Micro OWL 2 optical power meter and a WaveSource multimode fiber optic light source. This quick reference guide will assist you in setting up your test kit for a standards-based certification test.
Once proper operation has been verified, remove the first patch cable from both units and set it aside. STEP 8 Connect the second singlemode patch cable between the Micro OWL 2 and the Laser OWL as shown in Figure 2.

Once proper operation has been verified, remove the second patch cable from both units and set it aside. STEP 11 Connect the third singlemode patch cable between the Micro OWL 2 and the Laser OWL as shown in Figure 2. STEP 12 The Micro OWL 2 should read approximately -10.00 dBm.
For setting a 1550nm reference, repeat steps 25 through 28, except you will select SET REFERENCES WAVELEN REF dBm 1550nm (as shown at right). Also make sure that you set the Laser OWL to 1550nm (the right-hand --------------------- 1310nm -20 00 *1550nm NOT SET indicator LED will be lit).

STEP 37 If also testing at 1550nm, repeat steps 33 through 36, but this time use the singlemode patch cable attached to the 1550nm port. Also, make sure that you set the Micro OWL 2 and the Laser OWL to 1550nm.
