M700 Compact Single-mode OTDR
The Noyes M700 from AFL Telecommunications is a compact, full featured, single-mode OTDR that includes an integrated Visual Fault Locator (VFL), an Optical Power Meter (OPM) capable of displaying up to three wavelengths simultaneously, and a large transflective touch screen display suitable for both indoor and outdoor operation.
The M700 OTDR supports Real Time, Full-Auto, and Expert (manual) modes, precision event analysis, dual-wavelength testing, rich file naming, and intuitive job set-up functionality. In addition to OTDR event analysis, pass/fail acceptance values can be set to alert the test operator of failing or marginal events. Using one of the Least Squares Approximation (LSA) loss methods, events may be added or deleted manually.
Thousands of OTDR and OPM test results can be stored internally or on the supplied USB drive, and are transferable via a USB cable or USB drive to a computer for viewing, printing and analyzing with supplied Windows® compatible software. Saved OPM loss values for a cable in one or two directions can be displayed in a table on the M700 for evaluation and comparison.
With short dead zones, a dynamic range of 38 dB, and greater than 8-hour battery life during continuous testing, the M700 is perfect for testing optical fibers in service provider metro areas.

Description |
Full Auto
OTDR |
|
The recommended mode for users who are not familiar with OTDR operation. In the Full Auto OTDR mode, OTDR parameters such as Range, Pulse Width, and Averaging Time are set automatically. In addition, Full Auto OTDR tests always include an Event Table and Summary Page.
In Full Auto OTDR, Pass/Fail default settings may be changed.
|
Real-Time
OTDR |
|
Real-Time OTDR mode is the best for real-time troubleshooting. Note that the Wavelength setting can only be set to individual wavelengths. The Range, Pulse Width, and Filter parameters are set by the user. |
Expert
OTDR |
|
Expert OTDR mode is available for experienced users. It provides the most set up flexibility. You can set Range, Pulse Width, and Averaging Time manually (Setup = Manual) or automatically (Setup = Auto Once and Setup = Auto). And you can either enable the event table (Events = Auto) or disable the event table (Events = Off).
Note: in the Expert OTDR mode, the Events Menu contains Event Thresholds and Pass / Fail Thresholds settings.
