F1-MS200X Hand-held Mini Fiber Microscope
‘The Mini Fiber Microscopes are used for inspecting fiber terminations in the field. With their good optical
performance and Integrated laser safety fiters, they provide the most critical view of fiber end faces. This
‘renders scratches highly visible and isthe clear choice for field termination in sensitive installations

Operation
In this manual we wil explain general use of the Fiber Microscope Howevertis important 10 read the specie
termination instructions published by the manufacturer ofthe connector you are using Ths wl ensure proper
termination Also,be sure you have read the User Safety Warning and fully understand that direct aye
contact with laser light and magnified laser light should be avoided.
41 Begin by leading the potshed connector into the adapter you have purchased our Universal
Adapter simply sl the connector ferule2.Smmyint the hole unl you feel tht a stop (see figured) may
require a litle pressure to gett tated as our Universal adapter is equipped wth a noi gripping
‘mechanism tis important o sli the connector ful al the way tothe stp. This wl minimize any
refocusing that needs tobe done when changing from one connector fo the net if you have purchased one of
the dedeated adapters inser the connector ut as you would into a patch bay of mated connector.
2. Now tur the ght on The ight operates by pressing and holding the ght Switch in You can tell ifthe
light is on by checking the "Backlight Window"(see figure’). If you see light through this window .you are
ready to work
‘3. Once the connector is loaded and the light is on,hold the eyepiece up to your eye and begin
focusing Unlike many instruments of this ype the Fiber Microscope is always centered so there fs no
alignment o be done Grip the focusing adjustment(brass whee! with rubber gp see figure) and tum ito
focus the image.The fst time you use the microscope to focus the image. The first time you use the
microscope ,it may take a litle longer to find the image .Once you find the image ,very litle refocusing is
necessary ifthe connector is property loaded.
4. Once you can visualize the connector ferrule you can evaluate It for polish quality cleave quality and
Cleantiness optionally,you can hold the opposite end of a cable tothe Backlight window to give further
contrast to the core .Check with the manufacturer of your connector for further instructions.
