If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. Only technicians authorized by Santec should carry out repairs. In addition to voiding the warranty, opening the unit (even when unplugged) can expose you to potential shock hazards.
SAFETY INFORMATION on page 4. This manual contains complete operating instructions for safe and effective operation of the OPM- 200 High Performance Optical Power Meter. It is recommended that users of the OPM-200 familiarize themselves with contents of this manual before using the instrument.
Product Overview OPM-200 Front Panel A front view of the OPM-200 is shown in Figure 2. It features a touchscreen which displays information such as power, wavelength, modules, and settings Standard configurations have the detector and analog output mounted on the front panel or have a remote-head M12 port.
OPM-200 User Manual OPM-200 Rear Panel A rear view of the OPM-200 is shown in Figure 3. See Table 2 for a detailed description. Figure 3: Rear view of an OPM-200 Table 2: Detailed description of the OPM-200 rear panel components (see Figure 3)
1. Verify that the power switch is set to the “off” position (O). Connect the meter to an AC power supply using the power cord provided. 2. Toggle the power switch to the “on” position (I). The Santec logo will flash on the screen during the unit’s initialization.
