1. Repeat the calibration adjustment procedure for the second wavelength.
Power Calibration Adjustment
To perform a power calibration adjustment:
1. Press the Power key to set the Backreflection Meter to Power mode. In Power mode, the
meter displays P at the beginning of the reading, and the value displayed is not followed by
“rel”. An example is P = -9 dBm.
2. Clean and connect the FC/APC connector (green boot) of the calibrated jumper to the
output port of the meter.
3. Press the
λ
key to select the wavelength at which the calibration check is to be performed.
Choose either wavelength, as you will check both.
4. Measure the power from the output of the calibrated jumper, using a high-accuracy,
calibrated power meter.
5. Clean the output connector of the calibrated jumper, and connect it to the detector on the
front panel of the Backreflection Meter. The value displayed on the Backreflection Meter
must match the value measured by the power meter to within ±0.3 dBm.
If the values do not match to within ±0.3 dBm, adjust the value of User CAL:
1. Use a screwdriver or an appropriately narrow object to press CAL. The last User CAL value
stored is displayed on the meter.
2. Press and hold the Store I
D
key to scroll to the required value in 0.01 dBm increments.
3. Press the CAL key to store the User CAL value, and return the meter to the power
measurement display.
4. Repeat the calibration adjustment procedure (steps 1 to 3) for the second wavelength.
