3. Turn on the key on the front of the tunable laser source. The unit beeps and the front panel
lights up.
4. Cycle the power on the tunable laser source: turn off the unit using its key, wait at least 30
seconds after the power is off, and turn the unit on again using the key.
5. Turn the power switch at the back of the source optics module to
I
(on). The front panel lights
up, the version number of the firmware is displayed, and the main menu is displayed on the
front panel.
6. A warm-up time of two hours is required before the system is ready for measurements. It is
recommended that the system be left on at all times.
For information on using the tunable laser source, see the
SWS15101 and SWS16101 Tunable
Laser Source User’s Manual
(document SD000319).
Replacing Output Ports on the Source Optics Module
The SWS is shipped with the specified number of output ports installed. The number of
receivers connected to a transmitter can be increased to increase the number of measurement
stations. This modification requires changing the output ports on the front of the source optics
module, to a maximum of four outputs.
The standard SWS package includes one output port on the source optics module; the two or
four output port option can be specified at the time of ordering. The ports are labeled Output 1,
Output 2, Output 3, and Output 4 on the front of the source optics module. To reconfigure the
system, the output modules can be changed. Order option ED006412-A-00 for one output,
option ED006412-A-01 for two outputs, or ED006412-A-02 for four outputs.
To replace an output module:
1. Unscrew and gently remove the output port cassette from the front of the source optics
module (Figure 5).

2. Disconnect the FC/PC connector attached to the back of the module. Ensure that no stress
is applied to the jumper while disconnecting or connecting the output module.
3. Clean and connect the FC/PC connector to the new module being inserted.
4. Insert the output cassette by feeding the fiber back into the source optics module and
pushing the cassette back horizontally into its slot. Screw the plate to the front of the source
optics module.
