LIGHTEL DI-5000 Digital Fiber Connector Inspector User Guide

LIGHTEL DI-5000 Digital Fiber Connector Inspector

Pass/Fail Autofocus Probe

All Lightel video microscopes are designed for eye-safe inspection of fiber optic connector endfaces in order to determine if the endface is contaminated or damaged. The DI-5000 video microscope provides one-touch focusing, a built in flashlight, and output of the camera image to various types of display devices via built-in WiFi or a removable USB connection. It is battery powered and rechargeable via that same USB connection. The CPU within the probe analyzes the condition of the inspected connector endface and the indicator lights will be green if the connector passes and red if it fails. A numbered dial on the probe enables changing the criteria used to analyze the connector condition.

  Product Setup

(Suggested software is for testing purposes only. Final Lightel software will be able to view both the WiFi signal and the USB signal.)

Product Use

• WIFI:
  Once setup is complete, press the Power Button (Figure 3) on the rear of the DI-5000 until the Power Light turns on (green color). Then turn on the WiFi by pressing the WiFi button. The WiFi light will blink white. Once WiFi on the DI-5000 has been turned on, check the WiFi connections on your PC or other device for the WiFi signal “LT-DI-5000…” When you select the correct signal the blinking white light will light continuously and once your device has completed the connection the DI-5000 will be ready to use.

• USB:
  Once setup is complete, insert the mini B cable into the port at the rear of the DI-5000. Attach the other end of the cable to a full USB port on a PC or other approved device. The Power Light will blink if the battery whenever the battery is charging. To use the USB for data output, please make sure the WiFi is turned off.

• Both:

  • The battery can be recharged while using WiFi by inserting a mini B cable into the port at the rear of the DI-5000 and attaching the cable to a USB charging port. The Power Light will begin to blink when the battery charge falls below 25% and will continue to blink while the battery is charging. When fully charged, blinking will stop.
  • If you have not already done so, attach the appropriate tip for the connector you will be inspecting (see the next page for information on attaching and using Series 2 inspection tips).
  • For male connectors, you will insert the ferrule into the tip. For female connectors, the tip is inserted into the adapter. When properly inserted, a stop position in the tip ensures that the connector is within the focal range.
  • When ready, press and release the Autofocus Button. The lens will move to determine the focal point. When it is properly focused the Focus Status Light will again turn green. (If it remains red, you can try the Autofocus Button again, or use the Manual Focus Knob to refocus.) The Capture Button will send an electronic signal to your attached viewing device. Depending on the attached hardware and your settings, the Capture Button will freeze the image, capture the image, or analyze the image.
    The Flashlight Button turns the Flashlight on or off when additional external illumination is needed. The light has no effect on the illumination provided when viewing the connector ferrule.

  Attaching and Removing Inspection Tips

• All DI-5000 tips are held in place with a locknut. All tips have a slot (some specialty tips have more than one slot) which will match up with the key at the top of the DI-5000 to ensure that the tip is properly aligned.

• To attach a tip, hold the probe with the tip facing away from you and turn the locknut clockwise.

• To remove a tip, hold the probe with the tip facing away from you and turn the locknut counterclockwise.

  Battery Replacement

• Remove Battery Door
  Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two black Phillips screws, then open the battery door.

• Remove Battery

• Replace Battery
  Replace battery with the positive end facing the rear of the probe.

• Replace Cover and Screws
  Close the battery door and reattach the two black Phillips screws to complete the process.
