Power Meter

[Peanut]

I know its a power meter to read fiber optic cable strength. I used something similar 30yrs ago that was the size of a case of beverages. Anyone used a modern equivalent like this one?

They ran fiber optic cable out here this fall. The last technician was here about 2 weeks ago. I’m unsure if those guys lost it or my dog stole it. Anyway, saw it in the yard this morning. Now I need to figure out how to use it. (Lazy dog should have swiped the operators manual too! )

I can find out. We have some techs that do Fiber work. Their gear don't look like that one. But should be able to help out.
Can you send me the model #?

Don't you need a calibrated source?

Last one I used was about 1995. No idea what's required for this generation of meters.

Power-meter: and here I was all prepared to chirp about how much I love our 'smart meter' .
My best friend told me that if you look at the 3rd number it shows, that is the VAC you are receiving.
Well, I'll bedamed!
Didn't know that! We are at 245vac with no big loads running, and I never had to break out my voltmeter.
...Sorry, now back to fiber-optics.
