INSPECT THE BULKHEAD
1. Set up the P5000i as described on page 2.
2. Press the Back soft key to return to the
inspection screen.
3. Insert the Bulkhead inspection tip into the Bulkhead.
►For SC-APC Bulkheads, align the keys on the
inspection tip and the bulkhead connector.
►For OptiTap Bulkheads, align the arc and
flat pin in the inspection tip to the matching
insertions inside the OptiTap receptacle adapter.
►For OptiTip Patch Cord Inspection, slide
the patch cord adapter onto the main tip assembly.
Rotate wheel to view and test each fiber.
4. Adjust the Focus Control wheel of the P5000i
microscope to focus the optical fiber. The top vertical
bar on the screen indicates the level of focus
adjustment. The higher the level, the better the focus.
The screen will display a line in the focus bar where
the optimal focus lies for that image. Focus the image
until the bar is as close to the line as possible.
5. There are 2 ways to run the inspection test:
►Press the Test button on the P5000i.
►Tap the Test soft key on the SmartOTDR.
6. A green checkmark indicates a PASS result. A red X
indicates a FAIL result.
7. Tap the Live soft key on the SmartOTDR to return to
the Live fiber view.
8. If the test failed, clean the fiber end-face and re-run the
inspection test. Repeat until it passes.

Coupler, insert the Patch Cord into the 2.5mm APC Patch Cord
inspection tip. Rotate fiber and align the connector key to the notch
on inspection tip for proper alignment.
➢For OptiTip Patch Cord Inspection, slide the bulkhead adapter onto
the main tip assembly. Rotate wheel to view and test each fiber.
