This VFL is specially designed for field personnel needing an efficient and economical tool for fiber tracing, routing, and continuity checking in optical networks.
QBL-VFL501 50mW PEN-TYPE VISUAL FAULT LOCATOR
- Metal case, Rugged and durable
- Low battery indication to avoid leakage and wrong judgment
- ESD protection design, Protect the LD effectively
- Integrated case, to avoid the case intermediate broken
- Re-changeable ceramic tube to avoid returning to the manufacturer for this small fault
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.
