Safety & Compliance
Safety Information
IMPORTANT! Proper care in handling should be taken when using any
precision optical test equipment. Scratched or contaminated optical
connectors can impact the performance of the instrument.
NOTE! FOCIS Lightning2 contains no user serviceable parts. This instrument
must be returned to AFL or authorized agents for repair.
IMPORTANT! To ensure accurate measurements and operation, it is
important to keep connector end-faces on the ber under test clean.
CAUTION! Never view a live ber. Never look directly into the optical
outputs of ber optic network equipment, test equipment, patch cords and
jumpers. Laser radiation is harmful to eyes.
WARNING! Use only the specied AC adapter. Use of another type of AC
adapter can damage the instrument and create the danger of re and
electrical shock.
WARNING! To avoid the danger of re 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.
NOTE! Refer to your company’s safety procedures when working with
optical systems.
NOTE! Follow your company’s approved cleaning procedures.

General Information
AFL’s FOCIS Lightning®2 Fiber Optic Connector Inspection System, paired
with FlexApp comprise a complete ber optic connector inspection and
workow and data management solution.
Product Overview
FOCIS Lightning2 is a self-contained multi-ber connector inspection
probe with integrated screen. It is intended specically for the inspection
of multi-ber connectors and bulkheads such MPO and MTP®including
multi-row varieties. The FOCIS Lightning2 can perform industry standard
and user-dened end-face cleanliness analysis at a rate of about 1 second
per ber. Lightning stores connector level and individual ber images,
analysis, overlays, and zones tables locally and provides both Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth wireless links. The AFL FlexApp (iOS and Android) provides a
comprehensive and user-friendly feature set as well as connectivity with
AFL’s cloud-based FlexReporter workow automation platform.
FlexReporter Software Suite works with AFL Test and Inspection
instruments to provide a simple-to-use, high performance cloud enabled
reporting platform. FlexReporter combines FlexApp – a mobile App that
wirelessly transfer test results to FlexReporter-Cloud from the eld with a
fast, comprehensive, 3-step reporting solution – FlexReports PC software.
FlexReports is a Windows®-compatible PC software that provides
comprehensive test results analysis and reporting for AFL FlexScan OTDRs,
FOCIS inspection systems, OLTS, and OPM products. It is available in both
Basic and Advanced versions.
FlexReports Basic software version enables users to quickly view and
analyze results. It allows users to generate simple single-ber OTDR and
OLTS reports and includes a 60-day Advanced software and OTDR Trace
Batch Editor license trial.
FlexReports Advanced is a full featured reporting and post-processing
solution for generation of professional acceptance reports using Industry
Standards. It enables users to generate reports showing dual-wavelength
traces and event tables, end-face image, event map and loss data for
each ber. Users can apply Pass/Fail thresholds to OTDR events and OLTS
measurements, and create and apply application rules per Industry
Standards. FlexReports OTDR Trace Batch Editor enables users to edit and
analyze multiple trace les simultaneously.
FlexApp is a mobile Android and iOS App that supports AFL’s FlexScan®
OTDRs and FOCIS connector inspection products. FlexApp wirelessly
transfers test results from any FlexScan OTDR or FOCIS inspection probe
directly to FlexReporter-Cloud from the eld for subsequent analysis,
editing, and reports generation with FlexReports PC software.
