1 Introduction
The PM 212 optical power meter is a small, pocket size low cost item. The
small size does not prevent the optical meter fulfilling all the technical
requirements for field equipment. The unit can be easily carried in the pocket or
on a belt. It can be placed within rack mount ODF’s with the display on the top
or on the side. The NiMH rechargeable battery ensures a long term working time
with a minimum life time of 5 years. The unit is able to store 100 measurements
which can be uploaded to a PC and managed with SmartProtocol software.
The instrument can be used separately to measure absolute or relative
optical power in optical networks or with the LS-800 Optical Light Source or
OFT 820 Loss Test Set for optical loss measurement on singlemode and
multimode fiber cable at six working wavelengths.
