As shown in
Figure 4-2
, the PPM-350B optical power meter is different from common optical
power meters. Specifically, the PPM-350B has a downstream input optical port and an upstream
input optical port and can display the optical power of three wavelengths: 1310 nm, 1490 nm,
and 1550 nm.
Figure 4-3
shows the common measurement points.

Maintenance engineers should also know related optical specifications on the ONT side, such
as the maximum output optical power of the 1310 nm wavelength, minimum input optical power
of the 1490 nm wavelength, and receiver sensitivity of the 1490 nm or 1550 nm wavelength.
Table 4-3
lists the optical specifications on the ONT side.

To use an optical power meter, do as follows:
1.
Connect optical fibers to optical ports correctly in upstream and downstream directions.
2.
Turn on the power supply.
3.
Choose the measurement unit (dB or dBm).
4.
Perform the measurement.
