FPM 101 Function Buttons
Power
This button provides two functions:
z
Press and hold to turn the power meter on. The meter turns off after five
minutes of inactivity.
z
With the power meter on, press and hold to disable or enable the auto off
feature.
Wavelength/Backlight
This button provides two functions:
z
Press and release to manually cycle through the calibrated wavelengths in the
following order:
850 nm > 1300 nm > 1310 nm > 1490 nm > 1550 nm > 850 nm ...
NOTE: When the power meter is receiving a wavelength ID indication
(WAVE ID) from the FLS 101 light source, it automatically switches to
the WAVE ID wavelength.
z
With the power meter on, press and hold to toggle the backlight on or off.
dB/dBm/µW
This button provides two functions:
z
Press and release to toggle display readings between insertion loss (dB) and
power (dBm).
z
Press and hold to view power in microwatts (µW).
Ref/Set
This button provides two functions:
z
Press and release to display the stored reference level for the currently
selected wavelength or the stored reference levels for multiple wavelengths.
z
Press and hold until HELD SET is displayed to store the currently measured
level, or multiple levels, as the new reference.
This guide provides instructions for an experienced
technician to begin using the Extron Fiber Optic Power
Meter (FPM 101) and Light Source (FLS 101).
The Extron Fiber Optic Test Set includes all the tools needed to measure optical
power and cable loss in multimode (MM) and singlemode (SM) fiber optic AV
equipment and fiber optic cabling. The light source includes both a multimode LED
output that operates at 850 nanometers (nm) and 1300 nm, and a singlemode laser
output that operates at 1310 nm and 1550 nm. The power meter is compatible
with both multimode and singlemode fiber and measures optical power in dBm or
microwatts (µW) and insertion loss in dB.
