YOKOGAWA AQ1000 Entry Level OTDR

AQ1000 Entry Level Optical Time Domain Reflectometer

This AQ1000 is specifically designed to increase the productivity of field personnel working on the installation and deployment of optical access networks such as Fiber To The Home (FTTH). Although it is positioned as an entry-level model, it still retains Yokogawa’s established standards of quality/reliability for ODTR manufacturers and features characteristics which are usually present in higher-level models, such as a high-quality capacitive multi-touch touchscreen and wireless connectivity.

At-a-glance

The AQ1000 satisfies test and measurement needs in analyzing access optical networks.

• Wavelengths: 1310 / 1550 nm
• Dynamic ranges: 32 / 30 dB
• Size: 185 mm (W) × 116 mm (H) × 56 mm (D)    ( 7.3" (W) × 4.6" (H) × 2.2" (D) )
• Weight: 660 g   ( 1.46 Lbs )

Multi-touch touchscreen

Intuitive and responsive

Tap, swipe, pinch or press with the intuitive and responsive multi-touchscreen display. This high resolution, responsive 5.0-inch multi-touch capacitive touchscreen combined with hard-key buttons make OTDR operations simple and intuitive.

One-button measurement

Full-Auto

By simply pressing one singe button, the AQ1000 initiates an OTDR measurement, detects and comprehensively characterizes network events with PASS/FAIL judgment based on user-defined thresholds. The measurement data can be saved automatically if desired.

OTDR view modes

Trace view

Traditional view with OTDR waveforms and event markers.

Map view

Simple, icon-based map view for easy interpretation of network events.

Long battery operation time

Over 10 hours!

No worrying about running out of battery power during your daily work. The AQ1000’s high capacity Li-Ion battery will last for 10 hours under the Telcordia standard conditions.

Quick boot-up

Under 10 seconds!

From completely OFF to measurement ready in under 10 seconds!

Key Measurement Functions

• Distance measurement
• Loss measurement
• Return loss measurement (Total/Section)
• Auto event search
• Pass/Fail judgment
• Real-Time

Simple and fast way to observe how the network connection looks like and make a Pass/Fail judgment of the network connection. The markers enables distance and loss measurements.

Built-in PC and LS, and VLS

Power checker (PC)

Measures and displays optical power of incoming light for testing network performance.

Light source (LS)

Outputs a stable, continuouswave/modulated light for measuring end-to-end attenuationaccurately when paired with an optical power sensor.

Visible light source (VLS)

Outputs red light for checking continuity of launch numbers or short number trunks. Breaks and bending in number can be identified visually.
(/VLS option is required.)

Data handling features

Direct data saving

Simply pressing “Direct save” icon, measured data can be saved in SOR or PDF format according to users’ prior selection.

PDF reporting

Built-in post-processing software for generating OTDR reports in PDF format. Flexible configuration of report template to meet users’ report requirements.

Data Transfer

Data files or PDF report files that are stored in the AQ1000 can easily be transferred to a PC through a USB connection.

Wireless LAN (soon-to-be-released)

The AQ1000 is capable of data transfer and remote control in cooperation with wireless LAN capable devices.

Wireless data transfer

The AQ1000’s data files can be transferred to a smartphone or tablet using the OTDR data transporter, or to PC using the OTDR Remote Controller software.

Remote control

The AQ1000 can be controlled remotely by a smartphone or tablet using a web browser and by a PC using a web browser or the OTDR remote controller.
