OVERVIEW:

Designed to perform live testing with OLT equipment, this PON Power Meter is perfect for use during
FTTx/PON service tune-up or maintenance. It is able to simultaneously test and measure the signal power of
voice, data, and video connections, and is an essential tool for the construction and maintenance of PON
systems.

PRODUCT FEATURES:

- Analyzes voice, data, and video signals in BPON/EPON/GPON FTTx systems
- Concurrently measures 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and 1550 nm wavelengths anywhere in the network
- Three Pass, Warning, and Fail LED indicators allow you to quickly assess your network's power level
- USB port allows quick transfer of data, and up to 1,000 measurement items can be saved at once
- Optional 10-minute auto-off can be activated or deactivated
- Shatter-resistant sleeve protects it from accidental falls or other damage

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Powering the Device ON and OFF

a. Power the device ON by pressing the Power button for 2 seconds. The unit will display the
following on the screen:
b. The
power symbol on the screen indicates that the 10 minute auto-off is activated. Short press
the Power button to disable this auto-off feature.
c. To turn the device off manually, press the Power button for 2 seconds.

2. PON Power Meter Testing

The PON-55 can simultaneously measure the PON network upstream signals of 1310 nm, downstream data
signals of 1490 nm, and descending output video signals of 1550 nm. After powering the device on while not
connected, the optical channels will display "LOW". Also, ensure you have selected the correct Threshold via the
Options Menu before proceeding. If you have not set any thresholds yet, the default one will be used.
a. Before connecting the fiber cables to be tested, ensure they are cleaned well using fiber cleaning
fluid for optimal test results.
b. Choose the appropriate adapter heads (SC or ST), connect them to the PON-55, and connect the
corresponding fiber optic cables into them.
c. Power ON the PON-55 via the Power button and it will display the output power for each
wavelength being used.
d. While at this test interface, press ENTER to prompt you if you want to save the data. Press ENTER
again to save the data or CANCEL to back out.

3. Options Menu

a. Press the MENU button and press ENTER on PON PM to enter the options menu.
b. Press the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to navigate the menu. Press ENTER to choose an option or
CANCEL to back out of the MENU. There are 6 options to choose from:
1. REF
a. Relative output power measurements' reference values can be set.
b. Relative Power = Testing Value – REF value.
c. Press the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to select different wavelengths and press ENTER
to change the REF value.
2. Threshold
a. You can change the Threshold values here by pressing the UP and DOWN arrow
buttons and ENTER to select which Threshold to use. There is one preset Threshold,
but you can choose additional ones by setting them up in the provided software.
