Description
HCC-CW-201A Handheld CWDM Analyzer is specially designed for CWDM installation, maintenance and
troubleshooting, which is able to measure and monitor power values of 10 CWDM channels. HCC-CW-201A
can replace high-cost Spectrometers and conduct quick and reliable measurements in all environments. Thanks
for its light, compact and sturdy design, HCC-CW-201A is the ideal tool for CWDM installation and
maintenance technicians.
Features:
• Hand-held, more compact and easy to operate
• TFT LCD display
• Inner timing system
• Threshold configuration: can preset threshold value
• 10CH wavelength testing: 1431nm-1611nm
• Data Transfer to PC via USB
• Histogram or list data display modes
• Back light function
• Can work as the normal power meter
• 10 hours continuous work data storage & download
Result display in histogram and list straight forward result display for easy understanding
Histogram mode
X axis represents the channels 1-10
from 1431nm to 1611 nm. Y axis
represents the power value (dBm).
The red value of channel number
represents cannot get through the
threshold value.
List mode
10 Channels list 3 kinds of unit:
mW / uW / dBm / dB (REF). The
red value represents failure to pass.
General Power Meter
There are six wavelengths 850nm,
1300nm, 1310nm, 1490nm,
1550nm, 1625nm.

Safety Information
Warnings!
• Never look directly into optical outputs or a fiber while the equipment is on because invisible laser
radiation may damage your eyes.
• Do not short-circuit the terminal of AC adapter, charger or the batteries. Excessive electrical current
may cause personal injury due to fumes, electric shock or equipment damage.
• Connect AC power cord with the equipment and wall socket properly. While inserting the AC plug, make
sure there is no dust or dirt on the terminals and both plugs are fully seated. Incomplete engagement may
cause fuming, electric shock or equipment damage and may result in personal injury.
• Do not operate the equipment near hot objects, in hot environments, in dusty/ humid atmosphere or when
condensation is present on the equipment. This may result in electric shock, product malfunction or poor
performance.
Discharged batteries
Remarks:
1) When the battery power is almost out, there will be a warning of indicator keeps blinking, then please
replace the batteries or plug in AC adapter to charge batteries.
2) Please make sure that you have turned the instrument on before charge the batteries, unplug the AC
adapter when the batteries are fully charged.
3) Please make sure the batteries are well placed before charging them.
4) To eliminate the possibility of acid leakage, please take out the batteries if the unit will not be used for a
long time.
AC operation
If the instrument is mainly used at one location, e.g. in a laboratory or test department, the AC adapter can be used
to power it instead of batteries. There is a DC input jack on the left side of the HCC-CW-201A instrument casing
into which the output cable of the AC adapter is plugged. And when the AC adapter is plugged in, the AC
Indicator on the LCD will be displayed.
Note:
1) Power is supplied by the AC adapter even if battery is fitted. And the battery indicator is not displayed on
the screen when AC adapter is plugged.
2) Make sure that the operating voltage of the AC Adapter/Charger is the same as the local AC line
voltage.

Preparing for Operation
Unpacking the instrument
Packing material
We suggest that you keep the original packing material. Using the original packing material is your guarantee of
protecting the instrument during transit.
Checking the package contents
The standard accessories of HCC-CW-201A are as follows:
• Main unit
• Quality Check Report
• Carrying Case
• User's Guide
• 4*Ni-MH Batteries
Checking for damage in transit
After unpacking the instrument, check to see whether it was damaged in transit. This is particularly likely if the
outer casing is clearly damaged. If there is damage, do not attempt to operate the instrument or to repair it without
authorization. Doing so can cause further damage and you may lose your warranty qualification.
