Connect the cable to the optical power meter

Use a C13 power cord to connect the optical power meter's C14 AC inlet to a grounded outlet suitable for your region.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Identify the AC Inlet on the Meter Locate the C14 female receptacle on the back panel of the optical power meter. This is the standard AC input for most laboratory and field optical power meters ( ). 2. Select the Correct Power Cord Use a C13 male connector on one end of the power cord to mate with the meter's C14 inlet. The other end should have a grounded 3-prong plug compatible with your local electrical outlets ( ). 3. Connect the Cord Insert the C13 connector firmly into the meter's C14 inlet. Ensure it is fully seated to avoid loose connections. Then plug the grounded end into a properly rated wall outlet. 4. Power On the Meter Turn the power switch from the OFF (“O”) position to the ON (“I”) position. This is the standard orientation for most meters ( ). 5. Safety and Verification

• Ensure the outlet is grounded to prevent electrical hazards.
• Avoid using damaged cords or adapters.
• Confirm the meter powers on and the display initializes correctly before connecting any fiber optic cables. Following these steps ensures that your optical power meter receives stable power and is ready for accurate optical measurements. Always refer to your specific model's manual for any additional safety or regional requirements ( ).
