OPM1

REFERENCING SETUP

The LSSM output power is calibrated to -5dBm. If the OPM1 screen displays between -5.00dBm and -7.00dBm, 

press and HOLD the dB/dBm button for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, release the dB/dBm button. The OPM1 

screen will display 0.00dB, with some minor variation. DO NOT switch the OPM1 back to the dBm mode.

Referencing Setup
The connectors on the Test Jumper should be cleaned to appropriate standards. Use an inspection 

scope to verify fiber cleanliness. Plug the connectors on the Test Jumper into the RP 460 and DLS 355. 

The RP 460 should be in the dBm measurement mode. If it is not in the dBm mode, press the dB/dBm 

button once to put it into the dBm mode.

Setting Reference
The DLS 355 output power is calibrated to -5dBm. If the RP 460 screen displays between -5.00dBm 

and -7.00dBm, press and HOLD the dB/dBm button for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, release the

Loss Test
The Test Jumper MUST remain attached to the DLS 355. Do not remove the Test Jumper from the 

optical link. The connectors on the Test Jumper and the Fiber-Under-Test should be cleaned to 

appropriate standards. Use an inspection scope to verify fiber cleanliness. Plug the Test Jumper 

into one end of the Fiber-Under-Test using a bulkhead adapter as shown. Plug the other end of the 

Fiber-Under-Test into the LC adapter on the RP 460. The Insertion Loss of the Fiber-Under-Test will be 

shown on the RP 460 screen.
