Safety Information
WARNING! Use of procedures or adjustments other than those specied herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
NOTE! ROGUE testers contain Bluetooth / WiFi Transceiver
FCC ID: TFB-TIWI1-01
IC ID: 5969A-TIWI101
CAUTION! To avoid serious eye injury, never look directly into the optical outputs of ber optic
network equipment, test equipment, patch cords, or test jumpers. Refer to your company’s safety
procedures when working with optical systems.
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.
AC adapter should be 90-240VAC input, 15Vdc @ 2.4A, with center positive connector
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 device 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.
CAUTION! Do not run any tests or perform functions that activate an LED/LASER output port
unless ber cable is attached to the corresponding output port.
NOTICE! ROGUE Testers contain no user serviceable parts. Except for changing batteries and
cleaning optical ports, this instrument must be returned to AFL or authorized agents for repair and
calibration.
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.
IMPORTANT! It is important to keep connector end-faces on the launch and receive cables and
those on the Fiber Under Test (FUT) clean, to ensure accurate measurements and operation.

aeRos®| Rogue®Solution Overview
AFL's ROGUE™| aeRos™Test Workow and Data Management Solution is a suite of products built
completely around your company’s specic testing requirements.
aeRos — Test Workflow and Data Management Solution
ROGUE — Modular Platform
aeRos is an open, cloud-based, workow management platform that facilitates two-way
communication and data exchange from engineering to project management to technicians in
the eld. aeRos allows project managers to send jobs directly to technicians, dening tests and
congurations as needed. This reduces both setup time and mistakes in the eld creating real
OPEX savings. Throughout the job, managers can monitor technicians' progress and help to solve
problems as they arise avoiding expensive retesting and unnecessary truck rolls. aeRos solution is
available in two options: aeRos BASIC and aeRos PRO:
aeRos BASIC — Data Management Solution
aeRos BASIC 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 such as Chrome or Safari. aeRos BASIC is
free to all owners of AFL’s ROGUE modular test equipment.
aeRos PRO — Workflow Management Solution
aeRos PRO allows users to manage their entire testing workow and enables seamless and
efcient communications and data management. aeRos PRO is available in multiple License
congurations.
ROGUE is the modular hardware platform that works seamlessly with aeRos. Like aeRos, it is an
open system built around you, for both CAPEX and OPEX savings. By unbundling software and
hardware, the ROGUE platform allows you to invest in the application-specic tests you really
need. Because ROGUE works with iOS or Android, you can leverage your investment in your
existing smart devices. Your technicians will use equipment and capabilities they are familiar with,
further increasing their overall efciency and your OPEX savings. The ROGUE platform is available
in two modications: ROGUE cB1 Compact Base or ROGUE iB1 Intelligent Base.
The ROGUE cB1 compact base is ruggedly built to withstand testing in the eld. It is
lightweight, portable, and comes with options for carrying and/or placing it on a surface, with a
convenient carrying strap and a “kick-stand”. The ROGUE cB1 works with most Android tablets
and phones.
The ROGUE iB1 intelligent base is the latest addition to the ROGUE modular family of test
equipment. The ROGUE iB1 is hand-held, portable, and comes with a unique kickstand design
that allows for portrait or landscape viewing. The iB1 intelligent base utilizes an Android inspired,
icon-based user interface and provides superior ease of use through a large, 7” high resolution
color touchscreen display making for an ideal solution for applications where smart devices are
prohibited or undesired.
Both ROGUE devices share test modules and application software such as the TURBO OLTS/Cert
test and LinkMap OTDR test apps.
