3 Description HCC-CW-201A Handheld CWDM Analyzer is specially designed for CWDM installation, maintenance and troubleshooting, which is able to measure and monitor power values of 10 CWDM channels. HCC-CW-201A can replace high-cost Spectrometers and conduct quick and reliable measurements in all environments. Thanks for its light, compact and sturdy design, HCC-CW-201A is the ideal tool for CWDM installation and maintenance technicians. Features: Hand-held, more compact and easy to operate TFT LCD display Inner timing system Threshold configuration: can preset threshold value 10CH wavelength testing: 1431nm-1611nm Data Transfer to PC via USB Histogram or list data display modes Back light function Can work as the normal power meter 10 hours continuous work data storage & download Result display in histogram and list straight forward result display for easy understanding Histogram mode X axis represents the channels 1-10 from 1431nm to 1611 nm. Y axis represents the power value (dbm). The red value of channel number represents cannot get through the threshold value. List mode 10 Channels list 3 kinds of unit: mw / uw / dbm / db (REF). The red value represents failure to pass. General Power Meter There are six wavelengths 850nm, 1300nm, 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm, 1625nm

5 Safety Information Warnings! Never look directly into optical outputs or a fiber while the equipment is on because invisible laser radiation may damage your eyes. Do not short-circuit the terminal of AC adapter, charger or the batteries. Excessive electrical current may cause personal injury due to fumes, electric shock or equipment damage. Connect AC power cord with the equipment and wall socket properly. While inserting the AC plug, make sure there is no dust or dirt on the terminals and both plugs are fully seated. Incomplete engagement may cause fuming, electric shock or equipment damage and may result in personal injury. Do not operate the equipment near hot objects, in hot environments, in dusty/ humid atmosphere or when condensation is present on the equipment. This may result in electric shock, product malfunction or poor performance. Discharged batteries Remarks: 1) When the battery power is almost out, there will be a warning of indicator keeps blinking, then please replace the batteries or plug in AC adapter to charge batteries. 2) Please make sure that you have turned the instrument on before charge the batteries, unplug the AC adapter when the batteries are fully charged. 3) Please make sure the batteries are well placed before charging them. 4) To eliminate the possibility of acid leakage, please take out the batteries if the unit will not be used for a long time. AC operation If the instrument is mainly used at one location, e.g. in a laboratory or test department, the AC adapter can be used to power it instead of batteries. There is a DC input jack on the left side of the HCC-CW-201A instrument casing into which the output cable of the AC adapter is plugged. And when the AC adapter is plugged in, the AC Indicator on the LCD will be displayed. Note: 1) Power is supplied by the AC adapter even if battery is fitted. And the battery indicator is not displayed on the screen when AC adapter is plugged. 2) Make sure that the operating voltage of the AC Adapter/Charger is the same as the local AC line voltage

6 Preparing for Operation Unpacking the instrument Packing material We suggest that you keep the original packing material. Using the original packing material is your guarantee of protecting the instrument during transit. Checking the package contents The standard accessories of HCC-CW-201A are as follows: Main unit Quality Check Report Carrying Case User's Guide 4*Ni-MH Batteries Checking for damage in transit After unpacking the instrument, check to see whether it was damaged in transit. This is particularly likely if the outer casing is clearly damaged. If there is damage, do not attempt to operate the instrument or to repair it without authorization. Doing so can cause further damage and you may lose your warranty qualification.

10 Function Modules: Two modes: Testing Mode and Menu Mode The testing mode includes CWDM power meter, OPM power meter mode. Menu mode includes the following 9 items. 1) CWDM Parameters 2) Back light 3) Time 4) OPM Parameters 5) View History 6) Auto off 7) New File 8) Open File 9) About After boot-up, the meter automatically displays the testing mode. As shown in Fig. 2, in the testing mode, press to get into the menu mode. Press to choose the needed menu. The chosen menu is in the red color, as shown in Fig. 3. Fig 2 Fig

11 Description of functions Auto power off Auto power off function is that no operation for 10 mins, it will auto power off. In the menu mode, press to: choose auto off mode, press to open or close this function. CWDM power meter mode: 10 channels CWDM power display. Press to choose the power unit: dbm/ db/ mw. If it displays "LOW" or "HIGH, the value exceeds the testing range. If the NO is red, the value is beyond the threshold value. For the detail information, you need to check the CWDM parameter setting. Fig 4 Fig 5 Fig 6 Save the CWDM value You can save the CWDM values according to your requirement. Choose the CWDM display mode: List mode / Histogram mode / General power meter After boot-up, it will display the CWDM power mode. Press 6, 7, 8. to choose the display mode. As shown in Fig. Fig 6 Fig 7 Fig

12 Save the CWDM value As it is shown in Fig. 9, in the OPM mode, Press up/down keys to choose the needed wavelength: 850nm, 1300nm, 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm, 1625nm. It will display the power of the real wavelength in dbm/ db/mw. If it displays "LOW" or "HIGH, it exceeded the testing range. Menu Mode As is shown in Fig. 12, in the testing mode, please press to get into the menu mode. You can press to choose the menu you need. The chosen item will display red. CWDM Parameters / CWDM Parameter setting CWDM parameter setting includes three items: Threshold setting, reference value setting, rectifies value setting. Threshold setting: Compare the testing power value with the threshold values and identifies it by the display color (Red represents failure; blue represents pass). The function make testing is so direct viewing that it can be used in some special requirement areas. The function is suitable in some special areas. The testing range is -30dBm +20dBm. So the minimum threshold should >-30dBm and the maximum threshold should <+20dBm (- 30<Threshold Min<Threshold Max<+20). If the "P" represents the real power: 1) P<-30, it will display "Low" and the CH No is red. 2) -30<P<Threshold Min, it will display the power value and be in red color. 3) Threshold Min<P<Threshold Max, it will display the normal power value. 4) Threshold Max<P<+20, it will display the power value and be in red color. 5) P> +20, it will display" HIGH" and the CH No is red. As it is shown in Fig. 11, the NO 1, 2, 7 power is beyond the set threshold. As it is shown in Fig.12, the NO 1, 2, 4, 6 channels is beyond the set threshold. Fig 10 Fig 11 Fig

13 Reference value setting: Take the dbm as the unit and it will display the real value of power; Take db as the unit and it will display a reference value according to the saved reference value. Reference value: Display value=testing value Reference value Rectify value setting: the original value is zero. Please set the rectify value according to your requirement. Operation is as follows: As shown in Fig.13, 14, after entering the CWDM parameter setting menu, press wavelengths among the 10 wavelengths.
