Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech LED or LASER light source. Light

sources emit light at a certain wavelength in nanometers (nm), which is detected at the

other end of a fiber by a photo detector calibrated to the same wavelength. The center

wavelength of the light source is measured at the point of peak intensity. Light sources

emit a range of wavelengths, not just one. The difference between the lowest and the

highest frequency of light is called the spectral width. For practical purposes, spectral

width is measured at Full Width-Half Maximum (FWHM); the width (Full Width) is

measured at the point exactly halfway between zero power and peak power (Half

Maximum). Careful use of this source will provide years of reliable service.

Overview of the 850 and DUAL OWLs

The 850 OWL can test multi-mode fiber links such as premise LAN’s and voice PBX’s.

The 850nm LED provides a stable -20dBm output source. The LED indicator confirms

that the source is ON and that the battery has enough power to maintain its calibrated

output power. The Dual OWL can be used to perform dual wavelength testing that

conforms to EIA/TIA testing standards TIA/568-A and TIA/526-14A. The 850 OWL is

equipped with either ST (standard) or SC (additional cost) connectors. In addition, a

1310 or 1550 laser source, instead of a 1300nm LED, can be ordered (lasers are

available in ST, SC or FC connector styles).

OWL LE&LS V1,3 Oct. 2001

Overview of the 1300 and DUAL OWLs

The 1300 OWL is a perfect match for The Fiber OWL II or Micro OWL optical power

meters. It is a fiber optic light source designed to test multimode fiber links such as data

LAN’s and voice PBX’s. The 1300nm LED provides power meters with a stable -20dBm

output source. The LED indicator confirms that the source is ON and that the battery has

enough power to maintain its calibrated output power. The 1300 OWL can be upgraded

to a Dual OWL by adding an 850nm LED light source. The Dual OWL can be used to

perform dual wavelength testing conforming to EIA/TIA testing standards TIA/568-A and

TIA/526-14A. The 1300 OWL is equipped with either ST (standard) or SC (additional

cost) connectors. Also, one additional laser source instead of an 850nm LED can be

obtained for the 1300 OWL. Select from the 1310 or the 1550 laser light source to fill the

empty DUAL OWL port. Lasers are available in ST, SC or FC connector styles.

Overview of the 1310, 1550, and Laser OWLs

The 1310, 1550 and Laser OWLs are laser-based light sources designed to test single

mode fiber optic links. They provide power meters with a stable –10dBm output.

Communications devices that use single mode laser light at 1310nm minimize chromatic

dispersion. Note that most glass optical fibers have minimal chromatic dispersion

characteristics near 1310nm. Communications devices that use single mode laser light

at 1550nm minimize optical attenuation.

The Fiber OWL II or Micro OWL optical power meters are ideal for use with the 1310,

1550 and Laser OWLs. The front panel LEDs indicate whether the unit is ON or OFF,

and whether the battery has enough power to maintain its calibrated output power. The

1310 OWL (or 1550 OWL) can be upgraded to a LASER OWL (combo of 1310 and 1550

OWLs) by adding a 1550nm (or 1310nm for the 1550 OWL) laser light source. The

LASER OWL can be used to perform dual wavelength testing that conforms to EIA/TIA

testing standards TIA/568-A and TIA/526-14A. The 1310, 1550, and Laser OWLs are

equipped with FC connectors (standard) or SC, ST connectors (additional cost).

Basic Operation

The selector switch on the top of the unit is used to select the desired wavelength (move

switch to the left or right). Return the switch to the center position to shut down the unit.

Note that if the indicator light on the selected wavelength is dim, replace the battery.

Caution: Never look directly into a powered light source.

Maintenance

Handling Tips

1. Do NOT drop the equipment; components on the circuit board may become dislodged.

2. Store the equipment in the carrying case in a cool dry area.

3. Replace the rubber cap on the connector when not in use to prevent dust and dirt from

getting inside the equipment.

Cleaning Tips

1. Use only 99% or better Isopropyl alcohol when cleaning the connectors. 99% Isopropyl

alcohol is very flammable; additional care must be taken when cleaning the detector.

2. Whenever possible, use specially designed 2.5mm cleaning sticks to clean the

connectors. These don’t require alcohol and don’t damage the inside of the connectors.

Do not use sticks or swabs of any other type; they may damage the inside of the

connector or may leave behind dust or fibers that will add loss to the fiber reading.

3. The connector ports should be cleaned at the beginning and end of the testing day to

keep connector loss to a minimum.

4. When cleaning the meter case do not use cleaners that contain ammonia.

Battery Replacement

1. The front panel LEDs dim if the 9V battery is too weak to function properly.

2. To replace the 9V battery, slide open the rear battery compartment, replace the

battery, and replace the compartment cover.

Calibration and Repair Services

Extech offers complete repair and calibration services for all of the products we sell.

For periodic calibration, NIST certification or repair of any Extech product, call customer

service for details on services available. Extech recommends that calibration be performed

on an annual basis to insure calibration integrity.

Introducción

Felicitaciones por su compra de la fuente de luz láser o LED de Extech. Las fuentes de

luz emiten luz a cierta longitud de onda en nanómetros (nm), que es detectada en el otro

extremo de una fibra por un foto detector calibrado a la misma longitud de onda. La

longitud de onda central de la fuente de luz se mide en el punto de intensidad pico. Las

fuentes de luz emiten una gama de longitudes de onda, no sólo una. La diferencia entre

la frecuencia más alta y más baja de la luz se llama anchura espectral. Para propósitos

prácticos, la anchura espectral se mide en amplitud total-Medio máximo (FWHM); el

ancho (Ancho total) se mide en el punto medio exacto entre potencia cero y potencia

pico (Medio máximo). El uso cuidadoso de esta fuente le proveerá muchos años de

servicio confiable.

Descripción general del 850 y DUAL OWL

El 850 OWL está mejor adaptado para ser empleado con el medidor de potencia óptica

Econo OWL. El 850 OWL está diseñado para probar enlaces de fibra múltimodo tales

como las instalaciones de LAN y PBX de voz locales. El LED de 850nm provee una

fuente estable de salida de 20dBm. El indicador LED confirma que la fuente está

encendida (ON) y que la batería tiene suficiente potencia para mantener su potencia

calibrada de salida. El 850 OWL puede ser actualizado a un Dual OWL agregando una

fuente de luz LED de 1300nm. El Dual OWL puede ser empleado para realizar pruebas

dobles de longitud de onda que cumplen con las normas de prueba EIA/TIA como la

TIA/568-A y la TIA/526-14A. El 850 OWL está equipado con conectores ST (estándar) o

SC (costo adicional). Adicionalmente, puede ordenar una fuente láser 1310 ó 1550, en

lugar de un LED de 1300nm, (los láser están disponibles con conectores de los

siguientes estilos ST, SC o FC).
