PM-204A/B

1. Introduction

The PM 200 series of Power Meters are both rugged and refined. Operating in all commonly used wavelengths,
these well-engineered units have been designed to function in laboratories, LANs, WANs and CATV
environments, as well as long-distance optical networks.

The PM 200 series, used in conjunction with our Stabilized Light Sources, allows the user to identify optical fiber,
measure optical attenuation, verify continuity and evaluate fiber link transmission quality. The Auto- Wavelength
Recognition eliminates the need for communication between technicians and reduces the potential for error.

Sold, serviced and supported in the USA, the PM 200 series comes with a standard 3-Year manufacturer warranty
as well as all standard connectors, AC/DC charger and carrying case.

3. Safety Information

Warning

 Never look directly into optical outputs or a fiber while the equipment is on. Invisible and visible laser

beam may damage your eyes.

 Do not short-circuit the terminal of AC adapter I charger and 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.
