IM AQ1100-01EN
Explanation
Measurement Light Wavelength
There are three instrument types, with the measurement light wavelengths listed below. Select a
wavelength from the available settings on this instrument that you are using.
Model
Measurement Light Wavelength
AQ1100A
SM 1310 nm, SM 1550 nm
AQ1100B
SM 1310 nm, SM 1550 nm, SM 1625 nm
AQ1100D
GI 850 nm, GI 1300 nm, SM 1310 nm, SM 1550 nm
The light for single mode (SM) optical fiber is emitted from optical port 2. The light for graded-index (GI)
multi-mode optical fiber is emitted from optical port 3. Firmly connect the optical fiber to the port from
which the light with the selected wavelength will be transmitted.
Modulation Mode
You can set the frequency of the light to one of the following options.
CW (continuous light), 270 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz
On the AQ1100D, when the wavelength is GI 850 nm or GI 1300 nm, you can set the modulation mode
to CW or 270 Hz.
