26. perature and humidity variations affect the performance of electronic circuits and optical detectors Nulling the electrical offsets eliminates these effects Your unit has been designed not to require offset nulling under normal operation but you should perform it whenever environmental conditions change significantly or when measuring very low power values y IMPORTANT If light reaches the detector when nulling offsets LIGH appears on the display and the nulling is not performed You will need to press a key to return to the previous display Note Factory defined values will be reinstated when you turn the unit off To perform an offset nulling Hold down eil and EA meter few seconds The unit displays NULL while nulling the offsets then returns to normal mode N Note Keypad is disabled during the operation S V L mM Auto off Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source In reference mode your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under test only since a reference value is subtracted from the measured power Note You must set a reference value separately for each wavelength To reference the power meter to a source manually 1 Using the proper adapter connect a light source such as ELS 100 or EOT 100 to the detector port of your power meter Reference Reference Adapter test jumper test jumper Bulkhead DA ER WEN KE connector KS gt Ua Light Power source meter
