M700 Series OTDRs
The Noyes M700 from AFL Telecommunications is a compact, full-featured OTDR with an integrated Visual Fault Locator (VFL), an Optical Power Meter (OPM) capable of displaying up to three wavelengths simultaneously, and a large transflective touch screen display suitable for both indoor and outdoor operation. The M700 is offered in four models:
1310/1550 nm single-mode OTDR,
1310/1550/1625 nm single-mode OTDR,
850/1300/1310/1550 nm QUAD OTDR,
850/1300/1310/1550nm Long Range QUAD OTDR.
The M700 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 OTDR and OPM test results can be stored internally or on the supplied USB drive, and are transferable via a USB cable or drive to a computer for viewing, printing and analyzing with supplied Windows® compatible software. Saved OPM loss values for a cable in one or two directions can be displayed in a table on the M700 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, NEW JOB
|
Results |
|
Provides the file manager functions to handle the results of OTDR, OPM tests and to set up Jobs. |
Settings |
|
Allows the user to adjust General Settings (Language, Distance Units, Sounds, Auto Off function, Date/Time, Company Name) and displays the OTDR version information. |
New Job |
|
This mode is available for creating new jobs (setting up a file structure and defining the fiber under test location: Drives, Folders, Jobs, Routes [End Locations], Cables, Test Equipment Location, and Operators). |
