The OLS1 is a cost-effective, rugged, handheld LED light source designed for performing insertion loss measurements on fiber optic links when used with an optical power meter. The LED output is stabilized to ensure accurate test results per current TIA/EIA requirements.
The OLS1 is easy to operate with only a [Wavelength/ Power] switch, which selects optical wavelengths or disables unit. [Active Output], [Battery], and [External Power] indicators identify the currently enabled output port, battery charge status, and external power presence. Weighing only 0.65 lb, the OLS1 is compact and convenient for field use. The OLS1 operates over 60 hours from a typical 9V alkaline battery. An AC adapter is optional for extended use.
The OLS 1 light source is fully N.I.S.T. traceable.
