Users Manual
•
Never look directly into the visual fault locator
output. Momentary exposure to the locator's
output will not damage your eyes; however,
direct, long-term exposure is potentially
hazardous.
•
Do not use magnification to view the optical
outputs without proper filtering.
•
Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures not
stated herein might result in hazardous radiation
exposure.

Caution
To avoid disrupting network operation, to
avoid damaging the tester or cables under test,
to avoid data loss, and to ensure maximum
accuracy of test results:
•
Never connect the tester to an active network.
Doing so may disrupt network operation.
•
Always keep fiber modules installed in the
testers.
•
Turn off the tester before attaching or removing
modules.

When using the fiber modules, use proper
cleaning procedures to clean all fiber connectors
before every use. Neglecting this step or using
improper procedures can cause unreliable test
results and may permanently damage the
connectors. See page 16.
•
Use only high-quality test reference cords that
comply with ISO/IEC 14763-3. Test the cords at
regular intervals. See Appendix A.
•
Cover all connectors with dust caps when not in
use.
•
Store the connector adapters for the fiber module
in the canisters provided.
•
Do not touch the photodiode lens (see Figure 6).
•
Do not overtighten the adapter or use tools to
tighten the adapter.
•
Use a Fluke Networks FiberInspector Video
Microscope to periodically inspect the fiber
module's OUTPUT connector for scratches and
other damage.
