Safety Information
The level of radiation is below the level known to cause eye injury through accidental short-term
exposure. However, avoid prolonged exposure to light emitted from the fiber and do not stare directly
at a light beam, visible or not.
The following safety instructions must be observed whenever the EasyTest II is operated. Failure to
comply with any of these instructions or with any precaution or warning contained in the Fiber Optic
Thermometer user’s guide is in direct violation of the standards of design, manufacture and intended
uses of the EasyTest II. FISO assumes no liability for the customer failure to comply with these safety
requirements.
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE IN LIFE SUPPORT OR CRITICAL APPLICATIONS.
In no case will FISO be liable to the buyer, or to any third parties, for any consequential damage or
indirect damage which is caused by product failure, malfunction, or any other problem.
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
You should only use the power supply that came with your EasyTest II and verify that the voltage
specifications indicated on the power supply are compatible with the AC voltage and frequency delivered
at the power outlet.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions.
Do not expose to outdoor conditions.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
Avoid excessive physical shock or vibration
Do not expose to temperature higher than 60 degC

Unpacking and Inspection
The EasyTest II Tester is shipped inside a carton designed to give maximum protection during shipment.
CAUTION
If the outside of the shipping carton is damaged, notify your shipping department immediately.
Your shipping department may want to notify the carrier.
Carefully remove the carring case from the carton and open-it, identify all of the components listed
below.
Contact FISO or your local representative if any of the components are missing.
We recommend you save the shipping carton for future storage or transportation.
The EasyTest II toolbox includes the following components:
1X EasyTest II unit
1X EasyClean, Optical Connector Cleaner (attached to the EasyTest II unit)
1X CFO-ET, a short optical extension / optical port saver (attached to the EasyTest II unit)
1X USB interface cable
1X Power Adapter
1X EasyCheck, a small validation probe
1X ST-ST mating
1X Calibration Certificate
1X Carrying case

Handling Optical Cable
CAUTION
The core of any fiber optic cable is glass. For this reason it should be handled with care and
should not be viewed like a standard conventional electrical cable. If it is pinched, twisted,
over bent or crushed, the glass core will break and the light attenuation will occur at this point.
Fiber optic sensors are pretty robust but…
Avoid sharp bend
Avoid kinking, twisting
Avoid putting any tension on the cable
Avoid dropping connector on hard surfaces
Like your car Windshield or your glasses, the optical connector must stay clean to gives good results.
Always keep the protective cap on, to protect them when they are not connected
Clean both connectors each time you connect them, because a small particle of dust on one connector
could scratch both connectors.
Here are typical inspection picture of optical connector made with a Fiber inspection probe

Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors
The unit comes with an EasyClean tool. This high-performance device is designed to ease connector
ferule end faces cleaning. Read carefully the below instruction before using the device.
Important
The EasyClean is designed to clean the fiber optic connectors.
FISO is not liable for any damage caused in attempts to apply this device to other applications.
Always keep the protection cap on when not in use to avoid contamination.
3.5.1 EasyClean Tool General Operation
The EasyClean cleaner is easy to use, but you need to be careful not to do the following:
Do not use this tool to clean oily connector, as this will cause contamination of the cleaning
cloth.
Do not touch the cleaning cloth as this will cause contamination.
Do not use this cleaner when the cloth is empty. This may cause damage to the connector.
Do not pull the cleaning cloth, use only the device body.
Do not attempt to dissemble as this can cause damage to the device and void the warranty.
Do not try to re-use the cleaning cloth as this will eliminate the cleaner’s effectiveness and void
the warranty.
The amount of cloth left in the tool is shown in the window located in the body.

3.5.2 Cleaning the Male ST Connector
Step 1: Open the end-cover on the Guide Cap
Step 2: Insert the Connector Ferule into the Guide Cap
Step 3: Push the Cleaner body against the connector ferrule, the black neck of the cleaner will enter
into the blue body of the cleaner and you will ear a Click this will wipe the cleaning cloth against the
connector face and clean it.
Step 4: Turn the Cleaner body by 90°
Step 5: Push the Cleaner body against the ferrule connector for a second time

9
3.5.3 Cleaning the ST Mating
Step 1:Remove the Guide Cap from the Device
Step 2: Insert the cleaner tip in the mating, and Push the outer shell to clean the connector face
Step 3: Turn the cleaner body by 90°
Step 4: Push the outer shell a second time to clean the connector face

4Hardware Configuration
Introducing the EasyTest II
The EasyTest-II, is a single channel battery operated portable temperature Tester for TPT-62 GaAs Fiber
optic Hot spot temperature sensors.
It came in a ‘’Toolbox’’ with all the tools to assist you at each step of the transformer assembly to
validate the installation of Fiber optic temperature sensors or to perform on site testing.
Please have a look at the EasyTest II video, it show how to use-it.

Powering the EasyTest II
4.3.1 Power supply
The external power supply of EasyTest II has the following output characteristics:
Barrel connector; 5.5mm OD X 2.1mm ID X 9.5mm long, positive center
24VDC / 60W,
4.3.2 Battery
The EasyTest II has a built-in 49Wh rechargeable Lithium Ion battery.
With its internal battery, the system can operate on its own for as long as 16 hours of continuous
operations.
The battery capacity indicator on the left side tells you the remaining capacity in the battery.
Each LCD segment represent 20% of the full charge capacity.
A complete charge with the unit Off will take about 3h at a room temperature of 23degC.
You can also recharge the unit while using it, but it could take more time.
Note: During the charge, the most significant segment will blink.
Recharge Temperature limits: 0degC to 40degC <= 80%RH
Operating Temperature limits: 0degC to 50degC <= 80%RH
Storage Temperature limits: -20degC to 60degC <= 80%RH
Extended exposure to temperatures above 45degC could degrade battery performance and life.
Battery Life expectancy:
Given normal storage & usage, user can expect the battery to deliver at least 8 hours capacity after 300
charge/discharge cycles at 25degC.
WARNING
To avoid damaging to the unit, make sure to use ONLY the provided power supply.
Using different power inputs may damage the unit. No other voltage level or range is
accepted.

14
Optical Connector
The mechanical life of the optical connector is about 500 mating cycles in a relatively clean environment.
To keep your EasyTest II in good operating condition, we have installed a short optical extension that act
as an optical Port Saver, the CFO-ET.
To protect your EasyTest II optical connector, always keep the CFO-ET connected to the main optical port
of your EasyTest II ‘’A’’ and connect the sensors to the Port Saver optical connector ‘’B’’.
You could also use it as an optical extension to test directly at the tank wall feedthrough.
When the optical connector of the CFO-ET worn out, simply order a new one by contacting
[email protected] .
