Problem

Solution

Meter does not turn on Turn OFF the unit.

Connect the MBR5 meter to a
reliable power source, and wait a
few minutes.
Turn the unit ON.

INITIALIZING

Message is displayed for
a long time

Turn OFF   the unit.
Connect the MBR5 meter to   a
reliable power   source, and wait   a
few minutes.
Turn the unit ON.

Backreflection
measurement is getting
close to MBR5 meter
limit

Follow the   setup and
measurement techniques
described in the “SETTING UP
THE   METER FOR
BACKREFLECTION
MEASUREMENTS” section

BR range is very limited

Follow the   setup and
measurement techniques
described   in   the “SETTING UP
THE   METER FOR
BACKREFLECTION
MEASUREMENTS” section

TOO MUCH
LIGHT!

Dark current (ID) value
is too high

Attach the detector cap to the
detector, and press the ID key.

LASER POWER
LOW

Laser power is too low

Check the measurement setup
for   possible source of light being
reflected back to the output   port
of the source.

LASER POWER
HIGH

Laser power is too high

Check the measurement setup
for   possible source of   light   being
reflected back to the output   port
of the source.
