Run Pass/Fail Analysis:
1. Insert the Bulkhead Inspection Tip into the bulkhead or insert the Patch Cable ferrule into the Patch
Cable Inspection Tip on the P5000i Microscope Probe.
2. Adjust the Focus Control Wheel of the P5000i microscope to focus the fiber endface. The left
horizontal bar on the screen indicates the level of focus adjustment. The higher the level, the better
the focus. The red line indicates optimal focus for that fiber. Focus the image until the focus bar is
as close to the line as possible.
