Below are the FAQs submitted by customers regarding the Noyes Test Inspection product line.

Q: Will the safety filter protect your eyes with a 0dbm power level? Do you have any specs on what is a safe level with the filters?
A: The safety filter would protect your eyes from a 0 dBm power level. The safety filter in the OFS 300 will drop a 0 dBm power level to between -30 dBm to -40 dBm. However, we do not promote inspecting live fibers. It is always the best practice to take all precautions in making sure the fiber you are inspecting is not live.

Q: When I power my optical power meter off, do I need to perform the set reference procedure?
A: No, the reference is stored in the meter until it has been over written by a new reference setting.

Q: When I remove the batteries from my optical power meter, will I lose my test results?
A: No, your test results are stored in ROM memory.

Q: Is there any charge for downloaded software? 
A: No, all software may be downloaded "Free of Charge" and distributed as shareware.  Any test equipment manufactured by Noyes that requires software, will be shipped with software and download cables. The software can be located by clicking here.
