PRO PM2 Power Meters

The PM2 series of Power Meter are the advanced version of PM1 series. It is more functional and intelligent. Under the situation of laboratory, LANs, WANs and CATV as well as longdistance optical network, the Optical Power Meters, together with PRO's Stabilized Laser Sources, can be used to identify optical fiber, measure optical attenuation, verify continuity and evaluate fiber link transmission quality.

Auto-Wavelength Recognition
The PM-202D unit can transmit with a wavelength-identification digital encrypted protocol, enabling the PM2 Power Meter to automatically use the proper calibration parameters. This feature reduces the need for communication between the two technicians and decreases the potential for error.

Referencing function
Signal encrypting can also give the receiving end information on the power to be used as reference, helping ensure efficient referencing, even when the two units are far apart.

Computer supported
Memory capacity of 999 data items; enables data transfer to a PC via USB connection. With the software, the date sheet can be saved as excel or txt, and print out directly.

OptoTest OP510 USB Power Meter

The OP510 was specifically designed for applications where the measuring, monitoring and logging of insertion loss or power fluctuations are needed. The OP510 is a small (4"x2"x1.25") desktop module designed such that minimal movement and bending of the reference and test cables is necessary. This results in stable, accurate and repeatable measurements. A unique feature of the OP510 is the that the 16 bar graph LED displays the approximate power absolute or relative power level. The button on the module allows the user to the reference function or to trigger a computer based measurement. The OP510 is offered with various detectors with the commonly used or fixed optical interfaces. These options cover wide variety of applications. The module connects directly to the computer. OptoTest provides drivers and applications allowing the user to perform common measurement tasks such as EXCEL compatible data logging or time-stamped stability measurements.

Key Features :

Extended optical power measurement range, depending on the selected detector +10dBm..-80dBm for InGaAs detector,

+6dBm..-75dBm for Silicon detector.

Wide wavelength range 830nm ... 1700nm (InGaAs), 580nm ... 1080nm (Si).

Great measurement resolution of 0.001 dB

Tight linearity specifications:+/- 0.05dB

Selectable sample rate selected by application : 1 sample/sec to 100 samples/sec

Integrated ambient temperature tracking

The OP510 measures the ambient temperature (ºC or ºF) within -10ºC +55ºC at a resolution of 0.1ºC. This feature eliminates

the needs for an external temperature sensor during long-term stability testing
