Changing the Battery
1. To remove battery place Series 500 face down on a sturdy and clean surface.
2. Fully open the stand to 90 degrees and carefully remove all 4 screws on the
battery door using a No. 1 Phillips head screwdriver. Please note the orientation
of the stand and hinges. This will insure proper reassembly.
3. To remove stand and battery door, carefully lift the stand upward.
4. Use a non-electrically conductive tool (e.g. fingernail) to remove the battery.
Use of an electrically conductive tool (e.g. screw driver) to remove the battery
can short the battery terminals and cause permanent damage to the battery
and the Series 500 device.
5. Gently snap a new battery into the battery holder.
6. Place stand and battery door in proper orientation on the Series 500.
7. Using the No. 1 Phillips head screwdriver, screw in the 4 screws (by hand only)
until hinge and stand functions properly. Please note that over-tightening of
screws can cause damage to Series 500.

Measuring Optical Power
1. Unscrew both universal adaptors from the Series 500, and carefully clean both internal ferrules .
2. To reassemble universal adaptors, align keyway of the universal adaptor to the universal bulkhead, then screw the universal adaptors back
on using your fingers (finger-tight).
3. If optional variable attenuator patchcord has been ordered, unpack patchcord and carefully clean ferrules.
4. Align keyway on patchcord to universal adaptor and carefully tighten (finger-tight).
1. NOTE: Mismatched internal ferrules will not give an accurate power reading. (e.g. PC to APC will increase insertion loss).
5. Connect Series 500 to your optical system.
1. NOTE: Direction of light propagation should match the arrow on the Series 500 device.
2. NOTE: If power into the Series 500 is above the threshold power, the Series 500 monitor will turn on automatically (if not the
screen will remain blank).
3. NOTE: The Series 500 is calibrated to the light exiting the internal ferrule on the output side of the device.
6. Using the selection buttons, you can select your display orientation, desired wavelength, sample rate, and measurement mode (please see
Figure A).
1. NOTE: Pressing and holding the dB/dBm (center) button for longer than 2 seconds will light up all LCD segments. Press and hold
the button for 2 seconds to return to normal operation.
