This test kit enables technicians to make accurate optical measurements in the field. It measures the optical power emitted from a transmitter in absolute power mode and, in relative mode, performs fiber loss measurements or splice tuning.

The Photonix TECHLITE meters and sources were designed to be rugged. As with all Photonix test instruments, the internal circuitry is housed within an aluminum extrusion with high impact rubber bumpers. This meter can be driven over with an automobile and has even been known to have survived a 24' drop onto concrete. When stored in its protective waterproof carry case (included when purchased with a light source as a test kit), the set can even be submerged several feet underwater.
In addition, the instruction guide is fully laminated to make it weather resistant and virtually tear-proof. The included Photonix TECHLITE PX-B220 meter features NIST traceable calibration at 4 wavelengths: 850 nm, 1300 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm with measurement power levels as high as +3 dBm or as low as -60 dBm. The meter also features a true resolution of 0.01 dB at ALL power levels thereby allowing the technician to trust measurements below -45 dBm.
The Photonix TECHLITE meter, in relative measurement mode, will store the zero reference reading for all four wavelengths independently in non-volatile memory. This allows all zero references to be taken at one time and also allows the unit to be turned off while moving between locations preserve battery life. Also in relative mode, the meters will also display a 1 dB analog type deviation pointer and an unaveraged mini-display for real-time splice tuning. The Photonix TECHLITE meters utilize a graphic LCD screen to create unusually large and easy to read numbers as graphics to indicate power levels.
