    What to do if reference power is different than source output power on EXFO EPM-50?

      Bobby NortonAug 3, 2025
      If the reference power differs from the source output power in your EXFO Measuring Instruments, it could be due to the received power being outside the detector’s range. You should change the source output power.

    Why does my EXFO Measuring Instruments show LIGH (EPM-50 only)?
    • E
      Eric WilliamsAug 22, 2025
      The 'LIGH' error (EPM-50 only) on your EXFO Measuring Instruments indicates that light was detected while nulling offsets, preventing nulling. To fix this, correctly place the protective cap on the detector port and then retry the process.
