The three-wavelength laser
PROLITE-
55
source offers excellent stability, portability and
facile adjustments for accurate optical fiber
testing. Single output connector serves three
wavelengths, 1310nm,1490nm & 1550nm.
PROLITE- can be used to test single mode
55
optical fiber of long distance and local network.
Also it can work with optical power meter to
measure the loss of optical fiber.

Specific Precautions for PROLITE-55
CLA SS 1
LASER PRODUCT
Never look directly into optical outputs or a fiber while the
equipment is on.
Invisible laser beam may damage your eyes.
The use of devices that are not specified by this manual
and the internal manipulation of the instrument may
cause harmful radiation.
Use the laser source output with caution.
Keep closed the cover of this output when not using it.
The laser source output emits light at 1310 nm, 1490 nm
and 1550 nm wavelength and 0 dBm power.

3 Preparing for Operation
3.1 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 are as follows:PROLITE-55
Main unit
DC 6V Adapter
2 rechargeables AA 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.

3.2 Power Supply
There are battery indicator and power plug on the screen to show the power supply.
When you use the DC 6v charger, there is no battery indicator on the screen. When
you do not connect the DC 6v charger, the adapter indicator will disappear on the
screen.
nm

When you use the battery, the battery indicator on the screen will show the remaining
charge. An empty battery indicator means the power is almost out. When the battery
charge is extremely low to supply the necessary power, the instrument will
automatically switch off after several beeps of the buzzer. Please change the battery
or recharge it

4.5 Auto-wavelength Recognition
TWIN
Press the "TWIN" Key to tun on and off the auto-wavelength recognition function.
:
Note
It is suggested to turn off the "TWIN" code when you do not use it. The optical power output of
1)
laser source will be fluctuated.
2)
The function of "TWIN" and Modulation cannot work together. When the "TWIN" is on, modulation
of laser source module is closed automatically.
3)
Wavelength will be shifted automatically according to the recognition when the "TWIN" of power
meter module is on. In another word, the modulated signal of 270Hz, 1kHz and 2kHz cannot be
recognized and received at the moment.
