1 Safety
POWER SUPPLY
The AE200-Series optical power meter operates from
three 1.5V AA batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries.
Caution
Please install the battery according to the pole
indicator within the AE200-Series optical power
meter.
LASER RADIATION
The AE-Series optical power meter emits laser
radiation: 650nm visual laser.
When the measurement is taking place, users should
avoid the eye exposure to the open-ended fibers or
optical connectors due to the active laser transmitter.
When the measurement is complete, please put the
optical connector cap back on. Measurement
accuracy could be influenced if the optical connector
is explored in the air for long time.
