Power Meter
The Power Meter function reports the overall received power. Use it
to quickly verify and correct cabling and equipment problems.
The POWER METER screen shows the currently
selected wavelength and light source mode.
The overall power is displayed.
OMNIFIBER main is designed to provide a consis-
tent, calibrated light source for effectively
measuring signal loss in fiber optic cables. The
transmitted light can be operated continuously
or modulated.
When testing loss, use the continuous light source, when identifying
fiber cables with a tone locator, use the 2KHz modulated mode.
Press (Continuous) or (Modulated) to change the light
source.
When using OMNIFIBER MM (multimode), press or to
change the wavelength of the OMNIFIBER Main transmitted and received
wavelengths.
When using OMNIFIBER SM (single-mode), press or to
change the wavelength of the OMNIFIBER Main transmitted and received
wavelengths.
Either Main or Remote can be used as the light source with the main
power meter.
When OMNIFIBER is attached to OMNIREMOTE, the remote unit can be
used as light source. With the OMNIFIBER adapter attached, press the

key to activate the light source and provide continuous or modulated
light at 850 or 1300 nm for multimode fiber, or at 1310 or 1550 for
single-mode fiber. The green LED of the appropriate wavelength will
blink rapidly when modulated light is transmitted. If the transmitted
