FlowScout® Optical Loss Test Kits

AFL’s FlowScout Optical Loss Test Kits include the OPM8 optical power meter and FlowScout OLS8 optical light source. These next generation smart optical power meters and optical light sources are designed on the legacy of the AFL/Noyes OPM and OLS series. These inclusive kits provide rapid loss testing with pass/fail results for use in enterprise LAN, data center, PON, and broadband networks.

Intuitive operation: With a simple to use interface based on a color touchscreen, fiber technicians can quickly set-up, test, validate, and document installed fiber plant, as well as provide power measurements. The FlowScout OPM8 measures power levels and automatically evaluates them against user-set min/max limits. The large color touchscreen displays detected power levels with color-coded pass/fail indications.

Wave ID for reduced test time and errors: In the Wave ID mode, the OLS8 optical light source encodes each wavelength with a unique Wave ID code. When the OLS8 is used with a Wave ID capable OPM8 optical power meter, the pair can test up to three wavelengths simultaneously reducing test time and eliminating wavelength-setting errors. The light source also offers CW mode (continuous output - no encoding) and supports test Tone generation (270 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz) to assist in troubleshooting.

Full reporting capabilities: Measured power levels, pass/fail limits and status can be stored in internal memory for download via USB. Test results may be uploaded for subsequent analysis, editing, and reports generation with FlexReports PC software.

Versatile and efficient: Rugged, ergonomic, and backed by an industry-best 5-year warranty, the hand-held FlowScout OPM8 optical power meter and OLS8 optical light source are the most versatile test set for fiber testing. A range of replaceable output adapters enables access for inspection of optical ports and supports multiple connector styles. Equipped with rechargeable batteries and an AC charger, the FlowScout Optical Loss Test Kits represent a comprehensive and reliable toolset, ensuring accurate and rapid testing across various network environments.
