- Page 4 SE100 contains no user-serviceable parts. It ™ must be returned to AFL or an authorized service center for repair and calibration. IMPORTANT: 85% of network outages are due to dirty connectors. Use the ICIC (Inspect-Clean-Inspect-Connect) method to eliminate these issues.

- Page 9 1430 nm Wavelength Optical Reflector and the reflected light stored as the 0.0 dB reference. All FlowScout SE100 testers have a 0.0 dB reference stored when shipped from the factory. However, if tester or patch cord connectors are dirty or damaged, FlowScout SE100 may report higher than expected insertion loss. If negative loss measurements are reported along with 'Poor Ref', this is an indication FlowScout SE100 was re-referenced using a dirty or damaged patch cord or reflector.
- Page 10 If patch cord with the reflector is connected and measured loss relative to factory-stored reference is ≤3.0 dB: • FlowScout SE100 will store the reflected power as new 0.0 dB reference – Then it will resume measuring loss at 1430 nm –...
