USER'S MANUAL. PROLITE-90
LASER LIGHT SOURCE
1 GENERAL
1.1 Description
The PROLITE series has been designed for the start up and maintenance of
fibre optic installations. This series consists of three light sources, the PROLITE-90,
PROLITE-80 and PROLITE-81, and two optical power meters, the PROLITE-20 and the
PROLITE-21.
The PROLITE-90 laser light source emits light of a wavelength of 1310 nm
and/or 1550 nm. It allows to select easily by means of direct access keys the desired
wavelength, to generate a modulated signal or to activate the automatic operation
mode. These light sources may be modulated with 270 Hz, in the case of the
wavelength of 1310 nm and 2 kHz for the 1550 nm one, facilitating identify a particular
optical fibre when working with systems that contain a large number of fibres.
