1 Introduction
The INX™ 760 Probe Microscope (INX 760 microscope) offers unparalleled efficiency in ensuring pristine single-
fiber, duplex-fiber, or multifiber connections.
Optimized for field use and VIAVI TPA™ (Test Process Automation) enabled, the INX 760 microscope enables
automation of every step of the inspection process, including test set up, tip configuration, image panning and
focus, end-face analysis testing, and data storage. Operators can either use the INX 760 microscope
autonomously or connect it to local devices, such as smartphones, tablets, or PCs, via USB or wireless connections
(see “Specifications and regulatory compliance” on page 1-2), with the VIAVI Mobile Tech app serving as the
bridge between the microscope and the cloud.

While an inspection tip is installed on the device, the fiber illumination LED emits a blue light from the
end of the objective lens.
Note: To protect the objective lens from dust and debris, always place the safety cap on the
inspection tip when the INX 760 microscope is not in use. For information, see, “Installing a
fiber inspection tip” on page 2-6.

Getting started Installing a fiber inspection tip
Installing a fiber inspection tip
Step 1 Remove the inspection tip installed on the INX 760 microscope:
i. Holding the microscope securely, rotate the inspection tip collar to fully loosen it.
ii. Carefully pull the tip away from the microscope, ensuring that the tip does not come into contact
with the objective lens.
iii. Install the safety cap at the back of the inspection tip, place the tip in a dust-proof container, and
store it in an accessible location.
Step 2 If the microscope is powered on, note the following:
▪ The fiber illumination LED turns off.
▪ The Home screen indicates that no tip is attached to the microscope, and the Tool tray is disabled.

Getting started Installing a fiber inspection tip
Step 3 Install the required inspection tip:
i. If present, carefully loosen and remove the inspection tip cap cover from back of the tip, and place
it in a dust-free container.
ii. Align the pin at the rear of the inspection tip with the receptacle on the microscope.
iii. Carefully position the inspection tip onto the microscope, ensuring that the tip does not come into
contact with the objective lens, and that the pin is inserted in the receptacle.
iv. Thread the collar of the tip, and rotate it to secure it to the microscope. Do not overtighten the
collar.
Important: Ensure that the collar is properly threaded and secured to the microscope.
Step 4 If the microscope is powered on, note the following:
▪ The objective lens might move to adjust to the correct position for the newly installed tip.
Note: You can confirm that the microscope has detected the type of tip installed by accessing Test
Configuration settings. For information, see “Navigating the Home screen” on page 3-2.
▪ The fiber illumination LED emits a blue light from the end of the objective lens.
Note: Place the dust cover onto the inspection tip to keep the objective lens free of dust and debris while
the microscope is not in use.

Getting started Mounting a fiber connector
Mounting a fiber connector
Step 1 Power ON the INX 760 microscope, and, if required, short press the Action trigger to return to the Home
screen.
Step 2 Ensure that the fiber inspection tip required for the Pass/Fail application is installed on the microscope.
Step 3 Thoroughly clean the fiber connector, and mount it onto the inspection tip.
For a bulkhead connector, ensure that the connector is correctly aligned with the key on the inspection
tip.
A Live view of the fiber end face appears on the Home screen.
Note: If Auto-focus On Insert is enabled, the microscope will automatically adjust the focus quality of
Live view.
Step 4 Use the any of the available tools for viewing the fiber end face on the Home screen, and refer to the
focus meter to ensure that the focus quality of Live view is suitable for inspection:
▪ Action trigger: Short press to automatically adjust the focus quality of Live view.
▪ Action wheel: Rotate to manually adjust the focus quality of Live view.
▪ Magnification High/Low: See “Navigating the Home screen” on page 3-2.
▪ Panning: See “Navigating the Home screen” on page 3-2.
