Power Meter and VFL

Identifying Fiber Faults Visually with the VFL

To activate the VFL and inspect a fiber:
1.
Clean the connectors properly.

2. Connect the fiber under test to the VFL port.

3. If necessary, from Mini Toolbox, on the Main Menu, tap Power Meter

and VFL.

4. Select the Instrument View tab.

5. Tap ON/Blink/OFF to change the VFL state.

6. Without looking directly into the beam, examine the fiber. If light is

coming out of the rubber jacket or on the side of the ferrule, the fiber is
defective.
