Operating Guidelines

The discussion below presents guidelines for operation, as well as some common 
operating procedures. Remote operations are discussed in the next chapter.

Warm-up and Environmental Considerations

To achieve rated accuracy, let the FPM-8200 warm up for at least 1 hour before 
use. Operate the meter within the environmental limits specified in Chapter 1. Best 
accuracy will be available for operation near the calibration temperatures.

Summary of Operating Procedures

The following list is a summary of procedures discussed in more depth earlier in 
this chapter.

1

Cover the input connector with the supplied cap and press 

ZERO

. 

2

Install the appropriate fiber adaptor on the front panel 

INPUT

 connector. Connect your 

input fiber patchcord.

3

Recall your setup parameters by pressing 

RECALL

, or by setting the parameters 

individually as described in the following steps.

4

To set measurement parameters:

4a

Press 

 and adjust the wavelength by pressing 

UP

 or 

DOWN

.

4b

Press 

AUTO/MAN

 to select either auto-ranging or manual gain range. In manual gain 

mode, pressing UP or DOWN steps the gain by a factor of 10. To set a particular gain 
range, see Gain Ranges on page 7.

In Manual Range mode, display "

- OL -

" indicates the input power is greater than 99.1% of 

range. In Auto Range mode, this indicates input power is greater than 
1.59 dBm.

In Manual Range mode, display "

- LO -

" indicates the input power is less than 5% of 

range. In Auto Range mode, this indicates input power is less than -76 dBm.

4c

Press 

dB

 and 

LOCAL/ADR

 together to check the USER CAL gain factor. Normally 

this factor should be 1.000. You can change the gain factor while it is displayed by 
pressing 

UP

 or 

DOWN

.

5

To save a new setup, press 

SAVE

 followed by 

UP

 or 

DOWN

 for a memory number (1 

through 10), then press 

SAVE

 again. Whether or not you save the setup, at next power-up 

the FPM-8200 will return to the same setup as you left it.

Measuring Higher Power

The FPM-8200 will not be damaged by input power up to 10 dBm. However, 
linearity generally moves outside specification limits above the upper specified 
input power limit (see Table 1.1 on page 4).
