About the OLP-3057 Power Meter

The handheld Optical Power Meter OLP-3057 measures
power levels on fiber optic systems.
It is designed for the highest performing tests on all optical

signals and systems, for example, broadband, PONs, and
Gigabit Ethernet. Battery operation and the robust, shock-
proof design allow a long operation time in the field even
under tough conditions. AC line operation, with a separate AC
adapter, allows comfortable use in labs or production environ-
ments.
For optimal performance, update the software to the latest

version. For instructions on updating the software, refer to the
NOTE:
For additional information about HST-3000 options, SIMs,
and services, contact your local JDSU representative or
contact JDSU through the company web site,
www.jdsu.com.
Features and capabilities of the OLP-3057 include the

following.
– Tests on systems from different manufacturers with

different connector types are easy to handle due to the
universal adapter system. The test adapters are suitable
both for connectors with planar (PC) and angled (APC)
end surfaces. For detailed ordering information see
“Ordering information” on page 34. However the OLP-
3057 connector must mach the type of the cable
connector:
– PC (BN 2291/02, BN 2291/03)
– APC (BN 2291/22, BN 2291/23)
2 HST-3000 OLP-3057 Optical Power Meter User’s Guide

– Three optical measurement modes: absolute, relative,

and pass/fail.
– 1310/1490/1550 nm selective power measurement
The OLP-3057 features a port to which PON downstream
links (from OLT) can be connected. The signals at wave-
lengths 1490 nm and 1550 nm are filtered and measured
separately. This power meter port is calibrated at the
respective center wavelength.
– Through path
The OLP-3057 features a second port for PON upstream
links (from ONU) at 1310 nm to be connected. Signals
from this port are passed through to the 1490/1550 nm
port and vice versa. Thus the OLP-3057 can be transpar-
ently inserted into the PON network.
– 1310 nm uplink burst power measurements
The OLP-3057 features the measurement of burst type
signals as found in the PON uplink paths at 1310 nm. The
average burst power is displayed independently from the
burst duty cycle (active/idle). This power meter port is cali-
brated at the respective center wavelength.
– Additional broadband mode
The OLP-3057 features non-selective power measure-
ments via the port on the side of the SIM. In this mode the
OLP-3057 FTTx tester behaves like a standard broad-
band power meter, that is, attenuation measurements can
be done as usual with a suitable optical source. The
JDSU OLS-55 Optical Light Sources are ideal for this
application. Both modulated and unmodulated light
signals can be measured. For modulated light signals, the
average power is displayed. The broadband power meter
is calibrated at 850 nm, 1310 nm,1550 nm and 1625 nm.
The modulated signal mode with different fixed frequen-
cies can be used to identify fibers in a fiber bundle, for
example. The “Auto λ“ function allows automatic wave-
length detection. A wavelength encoding light source is
needed to support this feature e.g. the JDSU OLS-55
Optical Light Sources.

Exploring the OLP-3057
Exploring the OLP-3057

This section describes the status LEDs, connectors, and user
interface of the OLP-3057.

HST-3000, above the LCD screen. Sync, Data, Error, Alarm,
and LpBk are not used with the OLP-3057.
The Batt LED indicates the battery status. For more informa-
tion, see the HST-3000 Base Unit User’s Guide.
Test ports The OLP-3057 has three optical test ports, as shown in
Figure 1.

NOTE:
The two test ports on the end are protected by a plastic
cover to keep the connectors clean when not in use. The
cover is permanently attached to the unit and should not be
removed.
The two ports on the end of the SIM use universal adapters.
The port on the side of the SIM uses a 2.5 mm universal push
pull adapter.
For more information on connecting to the line, fitting adapters

to the connector ports, and maintaining the connectors, see
Chapter 2 “Connections”.

This chapter describes how to fit adapters to the connector
ports, connecting the OLP-3057 to the line, and maintaining
the connectors. Topics discussed in this chapter include the
following:
– “Fitting adapters to the plug connectors” on page 8

– “Cleaning the test ports” on page 9
– “Connecting to the line” on page 10

Fitting adapters to the plug connectors
Fitting adapters to the plug connectors

The OLP-3057 is equipped with an universal adapter system,
which allows connection of all standard optical connector
types the connectors on the end of the SIM. The test adapters
are suitable both for connectors with planar (PC) and angled
(APC) end surfaces.
The label on the back of the SIM will be a different color,

depending on the connector type, as described in Table 6.
Table 6 Label colors per connector type

Connector type SIM label color
PC blue
APC green
However, the OLP-3057 connector type must match the type

of the cable connector.
To fit adapters to the plug connectors

1 Open the cover.
2 Place the test adapter vertically on the optical connector.

Cleaning the test ports
3 Close the locking lever when the test adapter is firmly

seated. You will hear the locking mechanism lock.

The adapter is installed.
Fit the fiber optic cable to the test adapter or close the dust
cap.
Cleaning the test ports

It is a good idea to check that the optical connections are
clean and, if necessary, to clean them before starting
measurements. Even very small dust particles on the end
surfaces of the plugs or in the test adapters can adversely
affect the accuracy of the measurement. Cover the optical
connections with the dust cap whenever they are not in use.
This prevents them from getting dirty.
To clean the test ports

1 If the HST is on, press the green power button to power
down the unit.

Connecting to the line
2 Disconnect any connected optical cables.

3 Remove the test adapter.
The plug end surface is now accessible.
4 Wipe off the plug end surface using a cotton bud soaked
in isopropanol. This is a particularly effective way of
cleaning which leaves no residues.
5 Blow out the test adapter with clean compressed air
(available in spray cans, for example, Anti Dust Spray).
Measuring Using the FTTx mode, you can measure signal power by
signal power inserting the OLP-3057 into the signal path as shown in
Figure 2.

Broadband testing
This section provides procedures for using the features
included in the Broadband mode. Topics include the following:
– “Selecting Broadband mode” on page 20

– “Selecting a wavelength” on page 20
– “Selecting a measurement mode” on page 24
– “Measuring optical levels” on page 26
Selecting The Broadband power meter expands the field of applications

Broadband of the OLP-3057. In addition to testing dedicated FTTx instal-
mode lations, the module can test for any power measurement
within the wavelength range of 800 to 1650 nm.
To test in Broadband mode, you must select the Broadband

application from the main menu.
The Broadband Summary menu appears.
Selecting a The wavelength to be measured can be selected from the Set

wavelength Lambda list (under the Display soft key). In this list, up to eight
wavelengths can be listed.

Broadband testing
To select a wavelength
1 Press the Display soft key.
2 Select Set Lambda, and then select a wavelength from
the list.
The wavelength is selected and displayed in the measure-
ment results window.
Editing the You can edit the Set Lambda list to show only the wave-
wavelength list lengths you need. For example, if you frequently use 1310
and 1550 nm, you can specify that only those two wave-
lengths are displayed.
To edit the wavelength list

The wavelength table menu appears.
2 Use the up and down keys to highlight the specified wave-

length.
3 Press the Show soft key to toggle the check mark.
The check mark indicates whether the wavelength is
shown (checkmark) or hidden (blank) in the Set Lambda
list.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 to select up to 8 wavelengths.

2 Press the Edit soft key.
The selected wavelength is highlighted and a text box
appears for editing the wavelength.
3 Type in the new wavelength, and then press the OK key.
The table will be updated and the selected wavelength will
become active.
Modulated light The OLP-3057 automatically detects the modulation

frequency of light signals modulated at the fixed frequencies
270 Hz, 1 kHz and 2 kHz. CW is displayed if it is a constant
wave.
Auto lambda Auto lambda is a special feature invented by JDSU to identify

recognition wavelengths automatically. Therefore, the signal is modulated
(in a light source equipped with Auto lambda [also called
“AUTO λ”], like the JDSU OLS-55/-56) by a certain frequency,
which can be detected by the OLP-3057.
It may not be possible to detect wavelengths reliably if the

following issues occur.
– if the receive level is too low

Broadband testing
– if the wavelength encoding cannot be detected due to

interference
– if you are measuring the absolute level of a system that
does not have wavelength encoding like JDSU’s power
sources
To enable Auto lambda recognition

The wavelength table menu appears.
2 Press the AutoL soft key to turn ON (enable) or turn OFF

(disable) Auto lambda recognition.
The checkmark next to Auto lambda recognition will appear if
Auto lambda is enabled.

Broadband testing
When Auto lambda Recognition is enabled and wave-

lengths are detected, the measured power levels are
displayed simultaneously.
Selecting a There are three optical measurement modes: absolute, rela-

measurement tive, and watt.

NOTE: If no reference value has been stored,
0.00 dBm will be used as reference value.
Relative measurement mode can also be acti-
vated by storing the absolute power level as
reference value (see “Storing an absolute
value as a reference” on page 16).
