Ando AQ2150 AQ4250 AQ2752 Fiber Multimeter
Condition: Refurbished
Warranty: 90 Day Exchange
The AQ2150 Optical Multimeter is designed for use in the field, with small size, light weight and ease of use. Swapping the LD/LED light source units (8 types), sensor units (5 types) and return loss units (2 types) makes it possible to use this handy instrument as an optical power meter, stabilized light source, loss test set or return loss measurement system. With handheld size and a weight of approx. 450g, you can use it anywhere. And because it does not require an external power supply, it really shines in the field. Select the power source optimum for your needs at the time – AC adapter, AA cells or Ni-Cd battery pack (option).

- The optional AP2103 Charger can quick-charge your unit in about an hour. All you have to do to get ready for work in the field is plug it in an hour before you leave. Includes overcharging protect function.
Optical fiber loss measurement
Optical fiber loss measurement requires the light source unit and the sensor unit. Both LED and LD light source units are available in designs with either 1310nm, 1550nm, or both wavelength For long optical fiber cables, please use the AQ4251 (131/155) LD Unit. Because it is switchable there is no need to swap units, and because it handles both wavelength you never have to worry about leaving one unit behind.
High-output measurement
It is possible to measure up to +21dBm without shut down function for high-output optical transmission system when using high return loss adapter AQ9432 (FC) Connector Adapter for AQ2752/2752B Sensor Unit. When high return loss adapter is used for system with shut down function, low-output is gained before it is connected to connector adapter and after that, it shifts to high-output. It is designed considering much of safety.
Optical component measurement
Measurement of optical components also requires the light source unit and the sensor unit. With the 1310/1550nm switchable LD unit, loss can be measured up to 60dB.
Optical connector and component return loss measurement
The return loss unit has its own internal light source, sensor and coupler, making it possible to easily measure connector reflectivity attenuation.
Free-space beam power measurement
When measuring light with a beam spread, such as LD or LED sources, the thin AQ2755 Sensor Unit with its large diameter is optimum. The measurement range is through +20dBm, for even high-output measurements.
