Fiber core not visible - FiberInspector Pro

The FiberInspector FT600, FT500 & FT525 Kit allows the connection and inspection of a single fiber end-face and core.

The screen should display the end-face as well as the core, which is dark around the edges and lighter in the center (some may say it looks like a fish eye).

• Inability to see the end-face on the display screen is usually due to improper connections of the probe tips to the camera probe, poor fiber cleanliness, a fiber insertion problem connecting into the probe tip in use, or a focus problem.
• As a starting point, check the probe tip connections to ensure that the first coupling is properly connected. Also, check the probe tip connection, which is threaded in the opposite direction to connect the probe tip. Both of these connections should be fastened securely.
• Next, make sure that you are using the correct probe tip for the fiber connector type of the cable.
• Clean the end-face of the fiber specifically designed solvent in the FNET Solvent Pen and a lint-free cleaning patch. Ein Faseroptiklösungsmittel ist, um gewisse Verunreinigungen aufzulösen und als Schmiermittel erforderlich, damit die Endfläche beim Entfernen nicht durch Verunreinigungen verkratzt wird. Bitte kein Isopropylalkohol (IPA) verwenden, da diese Chemikalie während des Trocknens einen Rückstand hinterlassen kann.
• Lastly, fully insert the end-face of the fiber into the camera probe tip and turn the stainless steel knurled knob on the probe tip to adjust the focus.
