Chapter 5: FiberInspector™ Pro Tests
View Endfaces
125
Image Tab
On the IMAGE tab, you can use the round, horizontal, and vertical
scales to measure the size of the fiber core and cladding. You can
also measure the size of particles, scratches, and other defects on
the endface.
Tap OVERLAYS to show or hide Pass/Fail Highlights, Rings, or
Scale.
Pass/Fail Highlights: Adds highlights to defects:
• Red: FAIL. The scratch or defect is larger than the maximum
size that the limit allows, is closer to the fiber core than the
limit allows, or there are more scratches or defects than the
limit allows.
• Green: PASS. The limit allows the scratch or defect because it
is too small or too far from the core to cause problems, or
there are fewer than the maximum allowed number of
scratches or defects of that size.
WCaution
If a defect is possibly a dirt particle, clean the
endface and do the inspection again. You must
remove all loose particles because they can move
into the core when you make connections.
