optical connection
VFL
The type of optical connector used for the power meter is UPP (Universal
Push Pull), which is compatible with all diameter 2.5 mm connectors (FC,
SC, ST, DIN, E2000, etc.)
Accuracy of measurements
A high degree of accuracy is often required. It is then nec-
essary to perform a preliminary calibration without the fiber
under test to eliminate the losses due to connections as far
as this is possible. To do this, use the «Reference Value»
function.
The effect of this action will to be to bring the power meter into use
and to display the Results page for Power Meter.
NOTE
To copy a Reference Level or a Attenuator Compensator
on all wavelengths, select the reference wavelength and
click on Update for All Wavel.
NOTENOTE
To copy one value of the Lower or/and Upper threshold for
all wavelengths, select the reference value and click on
Update for All Wavel..
NOTENOTE
A continuous push on direction keys increments the value
by 10 dBm.
Table of results
For one and the same fiber, the power meter displays a table of 9 results
corresponding to the different possible wavelengths. The first 4 results are
displayed on the screen; to scroll through the other results, use the direc-
tion key . The table shows the power measured in dBm, the relative
power (in dB) and the reference level in dBm (if units = dB), together with
the mode.
• A measurement result is displayed in the table when the Keep
Result softkey is pressed.
• The Clear Table softkey orders deletion of all the results displayed in
the table.
• If the Alarm function has been activated, any result that exceeds the
selected thresholds appears in red in the table. Otherwise, results
are shown in the table in green.
• When the instrument is switched off, results present in the table are
saved.
Results of the
powermeter
If the Source function is selected (either on this Platform, on the base Unit
or on an OTDR module, or on another Platform), the Power meter results
page is different:
• The Wavelength, Unit and Zero menu keys are accessible via the
menu key Power Config.
• The Power Ref. menu key allows to reach the Standard Ref menu
key. It also allows to reach the Jumper Ref menu key if Power meter
function is associated with Source function onto another unit (see
2100/4100 Module User Manual).
Performing a measurement
The power meter is started up as soon as the function is activated
in the HOME menu.
Power measurement
1 Connect the light source to be tested to the rear connector (see
"Connection to the power meter, VFL and Talkset" page 32).
2 In the SETUP menu, choose the units dBm, dB or Watts.
3 Press the START/STOP key to start the measurement.
The result will appear in the results page and can be memorized in
the table (see "Table of results" page 35).
4 Press the START/STOP key to stop the measurement.
1 Fix the plug over the optical input of the power meter so that no light
can reach the photodiode of the power meter. If the zero adjustment
is made without this plug, an error message may be displayed, as the
photodiode will detect too much light.

The talkset configuration is set in the System Settings screen, in the
Channel box (see "Defining the Audio parameters of the 2000 Platform"
page 28)
Connections
At each end of the fiber:
1 Connect the fiber to the Talkset port of the 2000 Platform, either
directly or through jumpers.
NOTE
The Talkset option is delivered with a FC adapter mounted
on standard on the talkset connector.
In addition to the FC adapter, a SC adapter is also deliv-
ered with the Talkset option.
NOTE
Data transfer uses the same fiber as the optical telephone
Establishing communication
On the caller 2000 Platform, press the HOME button, then validate the
desired function:
• Talkset (Optical Telephone): used to communicate via the
fiber.
• Datalink : used to transfer data along the fiber.
If the remote instrument is not ready to receive, the icon does not change
color and a message is emitted.
NOTE
The talkset icon is displayed on the top banner as long as
communication remains established, letting the user know
that the connection is working.
When communication is established, the headset is auto-
matically enabled if plugged in. However, the loud speaker
must be correctly configured in the setup menu to work
accordingly
NOTE
Data transfer varies according to the type of application you
use. For Fiber Optics for example, you can use the
explorer. The distant 2000 Platform will be shown just like a
disk and all file and directory features can be used from
and to that disk.
Disconnection
When communication is over:
1 Deactivate the Talkset/Datalink function on one of the 2000 Plat-
form.
This deactivation can be done by either 2000 Platform.
2 Then, the fiber used, can be disconnected safely.
