FiberInspector™ Pro
Getting Started Guide
The FI-3000 and FI-3000-NW FiberInspector Pro (the Product or Probe) are hand-
held video probes used with a Versiv™ Series tester (the Tester) or with the
FI-IN™ app (the App) on a mobile device to inspect fiber optic endfaces. The
Probe and Tester or App let you see dirt, scratches, and other defects that can
cause unsatisfactory performance or failures in fiber optic networks.
Use the Probe with a direct USB connection to a Tester to view and analyze
endfaces and save and share test results. To do this wirelessly, use the FI-3000
probe with the App. The FI-3000-NW probe cannot be used with WiFi or the
App.
