ORL3 - Optic Return Loss Test Set

 

ORL3 - Optic Return Loss Test Set  

Features:

  • 1310 / 1550 nm Return Loss

  • Measures up to +23 dBm in OPM Mode

  • Store up to 900 Loss Readings

  • Field Portable, Battery Operated

  • Lightweight

  • Non-Volatile Memory

  • Selectable Threshold

  • AC Charger

The ORL 3 has been designed to test reflections from connectors and components in high speed digital and analog systems such as Telco, CATV, and WAN's. The ORL 3 provides the ability to perform both return loss (ORL mode), and loss measurements (OLTS mode) at 1310 nm and 1550 nm. The selectable threshold function is available for each wavelength when measuring in the ORL mode. When measurements exceed the set threshold level then PASS will appear in the liquid crystal display.

As an optical power meter (OPM mode) the ORL 3-4 measures up to +23 dBm for high output systems such as CATV and amplifiers. The supplied Test! software allows the ORL 3 to be connected to a PC for real time measurements and long term stability tests when operating in OPM mode.

The non-volatile memory stores up to 900 loss readings for down loading to a PC or printer for full fibre documentation. The test set is also equipped to generate and detect a 2 kHz tone for isolating specific fibres from a bundle when used with an optical fibre identifier such as the Noyes Fiber Systems OFI 200.

The power options of the ORL 3 provide flexibility by offering the ability to operate from three different power sources. The test set will operate from the rechargeable NiCad batteries, 9 volt alkaline batteries, or an AC power adapter.

The ORL 3 is delivered complete with PC Test! software, serial transfer cable, instruction manual, adapter cap, fibre optic reference cable, mandrel, screwdriver, hex key screwdriver, protective rubber boot, AC adapter/charger, and soft carrying case.
