1.1 Description:
The Fiber Checker is a very useful tool designed for
checking the defects of a fiber cable. It emits a visible
635 nm or 650 nm wavelength red laser light through
fiber optic cables, then if there are breaks or defects in
the fiber will refract the light, creating a bright glow
around the faulty area.
The universal connector can be used for all the most widespread fiber
interfaces such as ST / SC / FC connector. It is suitable to test both
Singlemode and Multimode cables. With an optional 2.5 mm to 1.25 mm
optional Adapter, you can easily test 1.25 mm diameter fiber LC or MU
connector. The visibility is up to 3 Km to 5 km depends upon the output power
of the Fiber Checker.
Internally there is also a specifically designed power circuit APC ( Auto
Power Control ) circuit provides steady power which avoids unstable laser
output when the battery is low.
The LD output signal can be switched on CW or Pulse Mode to obtain
different visual effects. There is a dust proof cover which will prevent dust from
getting into the inside of the LD connector. The cover also helps you to avoid
evading incidental exposure of the laser directly into your eyes.
1.2 Features:
Easy to check fiber faults by using 635 nm or 650 nm visual red laser
Range: visibility up to 3 ~ 5 Km
Universally Connector for test different ST, SC, FC, MU ( via Optional
Adapter ) , LC ( via Optional Adapter ) interfaces
For both Singlemode and Multimode cables
Highly effective power circuits designed for stable laser power
Operating in both CW ( Continuous Wave) & Pulse Mode
Dust-proof design keeps fiber connectors clean
Two AAA-size alkaline batteries
LED indicator for Power On, Battery Low

3. Operating Instructions
To touch then bend the Dust Cap to open the connector
To press to release Linchpin then to push
Battery Lid backward.
To open Battery Lid to change batteries.
1. Dust Cap : prevent dirt contaminates the LD
2. Button : pressing to Turn On / Turn Off the LD emitting.
3. Mode Switch : to select CW Continuous Wave Mode / Pulse Mode.
4. Pen Clip : a design to fasten the tool while put inside pocket.
5. Battery Lid : to open to change batteries.
6. Linchpin : a mechanical design to lock the Battery Lid.
1. The Fiber Checker is powered by two pieces 1.5 V AAA batteries
2. To check the power on please press the button and see if the LED is
GREEN.
3. Lift the front of the dustproof up and insert on end of the fiber
connector to the universal connector or directly insert to an output
connector of the fiber or patch cord.

The breaks or
defects in the fiber.
4. Switch to CW / Pulse Mode.
5. Press the Button and check those breaks or defects in the fiber will
refract the light, creating a bright glow around the faulty area. ( Shown
as below Illustration 1 )
Illustration 1.
6. When the LED is RED, this means that batteries are almost drained
out and in low voltage status and you will need to replace the
batteries right away.
7. Do not touch the fiber’s interface to avoid dirt into the connector.
8. Keep the fiber connector capped at all the time when the device is not
in use.
9. With proper cleaning tools to clean the fiber before testing so that to
obtain the right tests results and make the service longer.
4. Maintenance
This tool requires no maintenance other than periodic battery charges. Like
any other electronic equipment, this tool should be kept away from water, high
damp, dust, electricity, and environments of extreme temperature. And the
internal Fiber Checker there is a fiber stub needed to be cleaned by
specific cleaning tools regularly ( Shown as Illustration 2. ). Please do not
drop this tool on hard surface. Modifying internally any of this tool components
can cause a malfunction and will invalid the manufacturer’s warranty.
