The VisiFault Visual Fault Locator (VFL) is a visible light source
that helps you trace optical fibers, check fiber continuity, and
find faults such as breaks, bad splices, and tight bends in fiber
optic cable.
Safety Information
To avoid possible eye damage caused by hazardous
radiation
Never look directly into the VFL's output (item
Figure 1). Momentary exposure to the VFL's output will
not damage your eyes; however, direct, long-term
exposure is potentially hazardous.
Cover the VFL's output with the dust cap when the VFL
is not in use.
Do not open the case (except to open the battery cover
to change the batteries); no user-serviceable parts are
inside.
Do not modify the VFL.
Do not magnify or otherwise modify the laser output.
Use only approved connectors and adapters.
Do not use controls, adjustments, or procedures not
documented or approved by Fluke Networks.
