The FlowScout OPM8 optical power meter represents the next generation of smart optical power meters. Designed on the legacy of AFL/Noyes OPMs, the FlowScout OPM8 provides rapid loss testing with pass/fail results for use in enterprise LAN, data center, PON, and broadband networks.
Intuitive operation: With a simple to use interface based on a color touchscreen, fiber technicians can quickly set-up, test, validate, and document installed fiber plant, as well as provide power measurements. The FlowScout OPM8 measures power levels and automatically evaluates them against user-set min/max limits. The large color touchscreen displays detected power levels with color-coded pass/fail indications.
Wave ID for reduced test time and errors:When used with a Wave ID light source, such as the FlowScout OLS8, the power meter automatically synchronizes to source wavelengths, reducing test time and eliminating wavelength setting errors. The broadband power meter also automatically detects and reports the presence of 270 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz fiber identifying tones.
Full Reporting Capabilities:Measured power levels, pass/fail limits and status can be stored in internal memory for download via USB test results may be uploaded for subsequent analysis, editing, and reports generation with FlexReports PC software.
Versatile and efficient:Rugged, ergonomic, and backed by an industry-best 5-year warranty, the hand-held FlowScout OPM8 is the most versatile power meter for fiber testing. A range of replaceable output adapters enables access for inspection and cleaning of optical ports and supports multiple connector styles. Equipped with rechargeable batteries and an AC charger, FlowScout OPM8 can operate while charging from AC.
