The 20mW Mini type Visual Fault Locator is an efficient and low-cost basic fiber test tool; it provides a visible way to find fiber faults and identify fibers in an optical network during and after installation.
QBL-VFL501N VISUAL FAULT LOCATOR – MINI
- Constant and stable output power: A special laser driver circuit design ensures the laser output power remains at a constant power level as long as there is an available battery voltage.
- A low battery warning reminds users to change the battery timely.
- Long battery life(up to 40 hours with AAA batteries)
- Operates either in CW or Pulsed
- It is pocket-size, lightweight, and easy to use.
Visual Fault Locators (VFLs) emit visible laser radiation that can pose a serious risk of eye injury if proper precautions are not followed.
⚠️ WARNING:
Never look directly into the laser beam or into the end of a fiber connected to an active VFL. Exposure to laser radiation may cause permanent eye damage.Required Protective Measures:
- Always wear appropriate laser safety eyewear when operating a VFL.
- Recommended eyewear must meet or exceed the following minimum specifications:
- Protection Range: 800–1755nm and 10600nm
- Optical Density: OD4+ (800–1755nm), OD5+ (10600nm) or higher
- Standards Compliance: CE EN207 or equivalent
- Ensure eyewear is undamaged, properly fitted, and suitable for the wavelengths in use.
Safe Operating Practices:
- Never point the VFL at yourself or others.
- Do not view active fibers with the naked eye or optical instruments.
- Verify all fibers are inactive before inspection when possible.
- Use appropriate caps or covers on unused connectors.
- Operate only by trained personnel familiar with fiber optic safety procedures.
Important Notice:
Failure to follow proper safety procedures may result in serious injury. The user assumes all responsibility for safe operation and compliance with applicable safety standards.
