Solutions
There is no signal response.
Verify that the power is switched on and all
connections are secure.
Verify the proper terminating resistor is installed if
using a Voltage measurement device.
Verify that the optical signal wavelength is within the
specified wavelength range.
Verify that the optical signal is illuminating the
detector active area.
Output Voltage will not increase.
Detector Output is skewed.
Check to make sure the detector is not saturated.
Refer to the Output Voltage spec. in the
Specifications table.
Install a 1” Lens Tube(
SM1L10
) to the thread
coulpler (
SM1T1
) to baffle any external light sources
to see if this improves the response.
