USER GUIDE-2-
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. General The Fiber Inspection Probe FIP100 (Probe) connected to a mobile
device, is designed to:
– visually characterize the end surface cleanliness of fiber optic connectors,
– visually display the position of defects on the ferrule surface, –
automatically identify ferrule defects, – evaluation of the ferrule to meet
the requirements of existing standards or user criteria. The probe is a
portable meter with a self-powered, plug-in wireless Wi-Fi network to the
mobile device (iOS or Android). Probe allows to store measured data (the image
of the optical fiber end face in a digital form) and the analysis results in
the internal memory of the mobile device, and transmit stored data report
using a mobile communication device application.

SAFETY INFORMATION
It is important to always keep the optical sensor window clean and free of
debris. Use lint free wipes and an optical cleaning fluid such as 99%
isopropyl alcohol to clean the sensor window. Keep all surfaces of the Probe
clean and free of dust and water whenever possible. Always store the Probe in
the provided carry case to avoid exposure to contaminants. Prior to use,
carefully check cleanliness of sensor surface. Do not use nonstandard optical
connectors and plugs with badly polished butt-ends. They can damage the sensor
surface. Scratched or contaminated optical connectors can impact the
performance of the device.
ATTENTION! ! Never look directly into the optical outputs of fiber optic
network equipment, test equipment, patch cords and jumpers. Laser radiation is
harmful to eyes. ! Never inspect connectors with live fiber power level more
+20 dBm to avoid a damage device. ! Use only the specified AC adapter. Use of
another type of AC adapter can damage the instrument and create the danger of
fire and electrical shock. To avoid the danger of fire and electrical shock:
Never use a voltage that is different from that for which the AC adapter is
rated. Do not plug the unit into a power outlet that is shared by other
devices. Never modify the power cord or excessively bend, twist, or pull it.
Do not allow the power cord to become damaged. Do not place heavy objects on
the power cord or expose it to heat. Never touch the AC adapter while your
hands are wet. Should the power cord become seriously damaged (internal
wiring exposed or shorted), contact the manufacturer to request servicing.
