Ando AQ8201A Mainframe and modules. Trust the Simbol
Test Systems expertise
With more than 20 years of expertise in repair of OSA, Tunable Lasers, Wavemeters, Attenuators,
Power Meters, RLM Meters, and many more, the quality of our services is renowned amongst the
service centers community and highly appreciated by our partners and customers. We have a
long experience in test, repair and calibration of the Ando (Yokogawa) AQ8201 series of products.
Each mainframe is tested with a full load of modules. That is the only way to know a shelf can be
used at 100%. Each module you buy from us, or send for repair and calibration, is thoroughly
tested to prove fully functional. Don't settle for a single paragraph summary assessment to trust
that your Ando Rack and all accompanying modules are operating properly; our reports contain all
pertinent results and data, confirming your purchase or repair has really been tested. Be careful
of other sellers saying their equipment is "tested good", "powered on, self-tested", "pulled from a
working environment". When you choose AssetRelay, you can be confident that we actually test
everything we sell so you know it will work when it gets to your workplace.
