M650 Compact QUAD OTDR
The Noyes M650 from AFL Telecommunications is a compact, full-featured, QUAD OTDR with an integrated Visual Fault Locator (VFL, 650 nm), Optical Power Meter (OPM), and a large transflective touch screen display suitable for both indoor and outdoor operation. With short dead zone and intermediate range specifications, the M650 is ideal for Tier 2 testing of premises (building and campus) networks.
The M650 OTDR supports Full Auto, Expert (manual), and Real-Time test modes, precision event analysis, dual-wavelength testing, rich file naming, and an intuitive job setup functionality. In addition to OTDR event analysis, pass/fail acceptance values can be set to alert the test operator of failing or marginal events. Using one of the Least Squares Approximation (LSA) loss methods, events may be added or deleted manually.
Thousands of test results may be stored internally for transfer to a computer via a USB cable or a standard USB drive. Once test data is transferred to a computer, the supplied Windows® compatible software allows technicians to view, print, and generate professional reports. Saved OPM loss values for a cable in one or two directions can be displayed in a table on the M650 OTDR for evaluation and comparison.

Description |
Full Auto
OTDR |
|
This is the recommended mode for users who are not familiar with OTDR operation. In the Full Auto mode, OTDR parameters such as Range, Pulse Width, and Averaging Time are set automatically. Tests are done at two wavelengths and always include an Event Table and Summary Page. Pass/Fail Thresholds are set to default with an option to be turned off.
Note: in the Expert mode, the Events Menu contains Event Threshold and Pass/Fail Threshold Settings allowing the user to change these settings and turn them on or off.
|
Real-Time
OTDR |
|
Real-Time OTDR mode is the best for real-time troubleshooting. Note that the Wavelength setting can only be set to individual wavelengths. The Range, Pulse Width, and Filter parameters are set by the user. |
Expert
OTDR |
|
Expert OTDR mode is available for experienced users. It provides the most setup flexibility. Users can set Range, Pulse Width, and Averaging Time manually (Setup = Manual) or automatically (Setup = Auto Once or Setup = Auto). Users can either enable the event table (Events = Auto) or disable the event table (Events = Off).
Note: in the Expert mode, the Events Menu contains Event Threshold and Pass/Fail Threshold Settings allowing the user to change these settings and turn them on or off.
|
OPM |
|
This mode is available to perform Optical Power Meter measurements. |
UTILITY MODES: RESULTS, SETTINGS, JOB, LAST RESULTS
