The Fiber OWL 4 BOLT is a high accuracy, high resolution, microprocessor controlled optical power meter. It has a 75dB dynamic range making it ideal for both singlemode and multimode fiber testing,.
Its integrated light source makes performing optical length measurements easy. The light source connector port is ST only. It has an attractive handheld case made from high impact plastic, a large, backlit, graphic, liquid crystal display, and 18-key keypad for easy data entry. The fixed universal fiber adapter accepts ST, SC, and FC connectors equally well without the need for extra adapter caps. It will operate for up to 100 hours on a standard 9-volt battery and has built-in auto shutdown.
The Fiber OWL 4 BOLT includes a built-in loss wizard that helps you easily calculate the allowable loss for the fiber runs that you will be measuring. The meter stores physical fiber information for up to eight links. Link information includes: link name, date, fiber type, fiber length, connectors, splices, temperature, and calculated or user - defined reference power values. In addition the meter will store up to 1000 measured data points with labels. Each value includes the fiber type and link.
The stored information can be selectively viewed, edited (measured again), printed, or deleted. The meter will print formatted reports of selected stored data directly using the built-in USB port, or all of the stored data can be downloaded to a computer spreadsheet or our free OWL Reporter software to produce formatted certification reports.
