PM-1500 Power Meter
The 1500 series are small, rugged automated fiber optic Power Meters and single port Light Sources available in single, dual or triple wavelengths. The power meter uses a sensitive InGaAs detector, calibrated at six wavelengths with an 80+ dB dynamic range.
When a PM-1500 power meter and an LS-1500 light source are used together, they can operate in autotest mode where the light source changes wavelengths at a fixed rate and informs the power meter of the wavelength currently being measured. Up to 2000 triple wavelength measurements may be stored and recalled via the unit’s USB port or from the front panel. The CertSoft software suite provides the capability for downloading stored data and printing professional reports. These units are also compatible with the auto test functionality of the loss test set feature of the FTE7000 and FTE7500 series OTDRs.
The Light Source has a wavelength selectable single port for constant wave or modulated wave signal. The Power Meter performs fiber identification functions with the modulation mode of the LS- 1500-x or any other light source with modulation frequencies of 270, 1000 or 2000 Hz.
Power is obtained from a rechargeable lithium polymer battery. Both units are supplied with a universal power supply, and in a pinch, any common 9V alkaline battery may be used.
Accessories included with the power meters and light sources are heavy duty case, protective rubber boot with stand, adaptors for FC, ST or SC connectors, universal power supply/charger, CertSoft software suite, USB cable and manual on CD. All power meters and light sources carry a two year, components and workmanship warranty and a 30 Day satisfaction guarantee.
Other Features
- Flexible Configuration - The 1500 is available as a Loss Test Set or as a stand alone Power Meter and Light Source in dual and triple wave configurations
- InGaAs Power Meter - InGaAs based optical power meter calibrated at six wavelengths with a +5 to -77 dBm measurement range.
- Auto Test - In the Autotest mode, the master unit (light source) changes wavelengths at a fixed rate and informs the slave unit (power meter) of the wavelength being transmitted.
- Auto Wavelength Recognition - The power meter recognizes the wavelength being tested to help eliminate costly errors.
