Standard snap-on connector adapters cannot be used on the Fault
Finder, as they are larger in diameter.
Do not look directly into the output port when the instrument is ON.
Never use a viewing instrument, such as a magnifier or microscope, to
view the free end of any optical fiber connected to the Fault Finder. The
use of viewing instruments on active fibers can focus an intense laser
beam onto the retina of the eye, resulting in permanent damage or
blindness. Always aim the free end of an active fiber at a non-reflective
surface.
Continuity Check
Break in fiber
Microbend loss
Dirty connectors
The Fault Finder is designed to quickly locate breaks in optical fibers. Any
interruption in continuity will be indicated by red light escaping from the fiber.
Light can also escape from the fiber if it is stressed or bent too tightly. In either
case, escaping light is a sure sign of a problem.
