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 Lightning 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.

FOCIS Lightning | aeRos®Solution Overview
AFL’s FOCIS Lightning Fiber Optic Connector Inspection System, paired with AFL’s aeRos cloud
with FOCIS Flex app comprise a complete ber optic connector inspection and workow and data
management solution.
FOCIS Lightning Fiber Optic Connector Inspection System
FOCIS Lightning is a self-contained, compact, and hand-held inspection probe that can be used
independently or paired with AFL's FOCIS Flex app and aeRos cloud. FOCIS Lightning 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
Lightning 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 WiFi and Bluetooth wireless links. The AFL FOCIS app (iOS
and Android) provides a comprehensive and user-friendly feature set as well as connectivity with AFL’s
cloud-based aeRos®workow automation platform.
aeRos
aeRos is an open, cloud-based, workow management platform that facilitates two-way communication
and data exchange from engineering to project management to your technician in the eld. Now
everyone has access to test results and can address challenges in real-time. aeRos allows project
managers to send jobs directly to technicians, dening tests and congurations as needed. Throughout
the job, managers can monitor technicians' progress and help to solve problems as they arise. aeRos
solution is available in two options: aeRos BASIC and aeRos PRO:
aeRos®BASIC account — Data Management solution that allows users to save their test data in the
aeRos Cloud and then retrieve it from anywhere at any time with a standard Internet browser. aeRos
BASIC is free to all owners of AFL’s aeRos enable test equipment.
aeRos®PRO account — Workow Management solution that allows users to manage their entire
testing workow and enables seamless and efcient communications and data management. aeRos
PRO is available in annual and lifetime License congurations.
FOCIS Flex App
By pairing the FOCIS Lightning inspection probe with the FOCIS Flex app and aeRos PRO, users are
enabled to control their test hardware directly from their Android or iOS smart devices. With aeRos PRO
account, test projects and setups can be created and predened in aeRos cloud, and then pushed to the
smart device app to simplify the test process for technicians. Technicians receive a notication on their
smart device and can work on scheduled projects. As the project is completed, inspection results are
automatically synchronized with the cloud for instant access, analysis, and reporting.
FOCIS Flex app is available via Google play store or App Store.

Understanding MPO Connector Key Orientation Settings
Understanding Fiber Numbering After The Image Capture
The goal of the MPO Key Up/Down settings is to provide users with
the correct information about ber numbering (pinout) after the
image capture.
When inspecting MPO connector using bulkheads with opposed
keys, it is important to dene the MPO key orientation in the
in Live Image mode prior to the Image Capture.
• The MPO bulkhead key position indication (UP or DOWN) is
provided in the upper right corner of the display A.
• At power-up, FOCIS Lightning defaults to key Up orientation.
• If needed, press the Left Arrow key Bto toggle the MPO
connector key orientation to DOWN.
• This setting should be dened in the in Live Image mode prior to
the Image Capture.
Getting Started
After the ber end-face image is captured, FOCIS Lightning transitions to the Captured Image mode
displaying inspection results.
• Default display:
–Fiber #1 location is indicated by Blue box -
–Passing ber is indicated by Green circle -
–Failing ber is indicated by Red circle -
• When the MPO key orientation is set to Up Cin the Live mode, ber #1 is located at top-right Das
indicated by Blue box.
• When the MPO key orientation is set to Down E,in the Live mode, after image capture, ber #1 is
located at bottom-left Fas indicated by Blue box.

save image and pass/fail results to congured Job/Cable folder.
Note: If Auto-Save or Auto-Send on 2nd Capture Key is enabled, you will be prompted to press the
Capture button again to save or send. Press the Back button if you do not wish to save or send image.

IEC Pass/Fail Analysis
Pass/Fail Analysis
Main Menu and Settings
IEC 61300-3-35 denes connector inspection pass/fail criteria.
Pass/Fail criteria depends on:
• Fiber type (SMF or MMF).
• Connector end face regions:
–A region: Core
–B region: Cladding
–C region: Adhesive (between cladding
and ferrule)
–D region: Physical contact area
• Type of end face aw:
–Scratches
–Defects (contamination, particles, chips)
• Size of aw.
IEC 61300-3-35 for multi-ber MPO/MTP connectors only denes the following regions (or zones):
–A region: Core
–B region: Cladding
Core
Failing
Defect
Passing
Defect
Contact
Adhesive
Cladding
Shown below is the display when the IEC rule for single-mode PC connector with return loss ≥ 45 dB is
selected. The table identies the number of scratches or defects of a certain size, which may be allowed
in each of the core, cladding, and contact regions.
