6. Instructions
6.1 Power on/off
Press and hold the " " button to start the instrument, and press again to cancel the
automatic shutdown for 10 minutes. Long press the " " key for 2s to power off the meter.
6.2 functional instructions
The PON power meter screen is displayed after power-on. You can use the MODE key to
switch to the common power meter screen or the visual fault location screen.
6.2.1 PON optical power meter

(1) PON optical power meter can simultaneously measure ONT 1310nm burst mode uplink
signal and OLT/VIDEO 1490nm/1550nm downlink optical signal power detection in PON
network.
After startup, the measured power values of the three signals are displayed on the SCREEN
of the PON test interface. If LO is displayed, it indicates that the input optical signal is too low.
Limit parameters of each wavelength refer to the technical specifications of the device.
(2) Threshold setting
To switch to a threshold group, hold down the key. To enter the threshold mode, hold

down the key

In threshold setting mode, you can switch the upper limit and lower limit of the current

threshold by pressing keys. Press and to edit the threshold data of the current

wavelength. After setting the desired wavelength threshold, press to save and exit.

（3）Test
Clean the optical fiber to be measured and connect it to the ONT port and OLT/VIDEO port.
Note: The type of optical fiber connector to be measured. If the connector type is not matched
with the instrument, the output optical connector of the instrument may be damaged and
inaccurate measurement results may be obtained.
For example, the threshold name is THR01. The following table lists the threshold values:
PON ONT:1310nm OLT:1490nm VIDEO:1550nm

3
 阈值名称 Pass Warn Fail Pass Warn Fail Pass Warn Fail

THR01 +3dBm -20dBm -30dBm +3dBm -20dBm -30dBm +3dBm -20dBm -30dBm

Assume that the current 1310nm upstream test optical power intensity is -10dbm, and the
threshold range is between +3 and -20dbm, indicating that the optical path is normal, and the
meter screen displays a green Pass character. If the test optical path intensity is between -20 and -
30 DBM, it indicates that the optical path may have problems but can be used. Yellow Warn
characters are displayed on the instrument screen interface. If the intensity of the test optical path
is not within the threshold range, that is >+3dBm or<-30dBm: indicates that the light intensity in
the optical path is too strong or weak. Red Fail characters are displayed on the instrument screen
interface. The same is true for 1490nm and 1550nm tests.
After the test, keep the instrument interface clean and cover the dust cap immediately after
the power off.
（4）Save, view, and delete data
In the test interface, press the key and the screen symbol flashes to indicate whether to

save the current data. If you confirm to save the data, press the key again. If you cancel the

saving, press the key to cancel and exit the data saving. The saved data records are displayed

in 0001 order at the top of the screen.

On the test interface, long press the key to enter the saved value viewing mode, and

short press the key to exit the viewing mode.

In view mode, you can press and to view the stored data records up and down.

In view mode, press the key to delete the current value group.

（5）PON power meter relative value measurement and unit switching

According to test requirements, select display different wavelength and reference value,
relative power value = absolute power value - reference value. Hold down the key to set the

current power value as the reference power and enter the reference power display mode. The first
line of the screen displays "REF" once. Short press to switch between dBm, dB and mW

units.
6.2.2 Standard OPM
The standard OPM is mainly used for testing optical signal power and insertion loss of all
kinds of equipment and photoelectric components.
After the instrument is turned on, press the MODE key to switch to the standard OPM

MODE, and PM is displayed in the first line at the top of the screen. Press to select the

4
wavelength to be tested. Short press to switch the power unit, and long press to set the

current power as the reference value.

6.2.3 VFL
After the instrument is turned on, press the MODE key to switch to the visual fault location
function MODE, and the first line at the top of the screen displays VFL. Press THR key to turn on
or off VFL light, press key to select CW and 2HZ light mode

6.3、Data communication upload

Install the CH340 driver based on the computer system.
Connect the instrument and computer with USB data line. After opening the

software, select the COM adapter port above the "Connect" button, and

then click "Connect".

6.3.1 Uploading Data
Click the "Chinese" icon to switch the software operation interface language, select the
"Upload data" TAB, click the "upload data" button to read the test data stored in the instrument to
the computer; Click "Delete test Data" or "Clear test Data" button to delete data;

6.3.2 Threshold Settings

Click "Upload Threshold" to upload all the threshold group data originally set by the instrument;
Click "Threshold Settings" to modify the data of the threshold group to be modified in the
software. After editing the modification, right-click "Settings" to save the modification.
6.3.3 calibration
After selecting The "Calibration" option, you can calibrate the PON module and the common
optical power meter module respectively. Select an appropriate wavelength for user self-
calibration.
Take "calibration of ordinary optical power meter at 1310nm" as an example:
Assume that the optical power intensity of the current line at 1310nm is -10dBm, insert the optical
signal of the current line into the OPM common power meter port of the instrument under test, and
then "Select wavelength 1310nm" and click "Cut wavelength 1310nm". Enter -10dBm in the text

5
box of "Input standard power value -10" and click "Calibrate" button to calibrate 1310nm
wavelength.
Note: the instrument has been strictly calibrated before leaving the factory,
customers should be careful to use this function to avoid deviation in the
instrument test!
