Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS)

Get your ARGUS^® ready for the future and expand it with the new Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS). An OLTS calculates the signal loss (attenuation) in fiber optic cables and evaluates the quality of data transmission. It enables precise calculations of optical attenuation in both directions to support installation, maintenance and troubleshooting in fiber optic networks. The OLTS is available for the ARGUS^® 300, 260, F300, F240 and F200 devices with 3xOPM. For ARGUS^® 300, 260 and 163, the ARGUS^® Optical Power Meter is also required. The OLTS enables level measurement for an adjustable wavelength with attenuation calculation in relation to a reference value. The Optical Light Source is available with either two (1310 & 1550 nm) or four wavelengths (1310, 1490, 1550 & 1625 nm).

Optical Light Source (OLS)

The Optical Light Source transmits an identifier that the ARGUS^® F300, F240 and F200 can detect and evaluate. With the ARGUS^® 300 and 260, the identifier is detected and evaluated by the OPM. The OLS always transmits with the same, fixed transmission power. The ARGUS^® 300, 260, F300, F240, F200 and 163 automatically detect the wavelength at which transmission is taking place and display the attenuation. The OLS can switch through the wavelengths one after the other.
