5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Mesura de potència òptica

The optical power meter function measures the power of optical signals in fiber optic networks.

1. Assegureu-vos que el dispositiu estigui encès.
2. Connect the fiber optic cable to the optical power meter input port. The UT693A-C01 supports 2.5mm universal connectors (FC/SC/ST).
3. Premeu el botó Longitud d'ona button to cycle through the available calibration wavelengths (850nm, 980nm, 1270nm, 1300nm, 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm, 1577nm, 1625nm, 1650nm) until the desired wavelength is displayed.
4. The measured optical power will be displayed on the screen in dBm, dB, mW, or uW.
5. To set a reference value (REF), press and hold the REF button. This allows for relative power measurements.
