Visual Fault Locator
Instruction Sheet
The VisiFault Visual Fault Locator (VFL) is a visible light source
that helps you trace optical fibers, check fiber continuity, and
find faults such as breaks, bad splices, and tight bends in fiber
optic cable.
Safety Information
W
*
Warning: Class 2 Laser
To avoid possible eye damage caused by hazardous
radiation
• Never look directly into the VFL’s output (item A in
Figure 1). Momentary exposure to the VFL’s output will
not damage your eyes; however, direct, long-term
exposure is potentially hazardous.
• Cover the VFL’s output with the dust cap when the VFL
is not in use.
• Do not open the case (except to open the battery cover
to change the batteries); no user-serviceable parts are
inside.
• Do not modify the VFL.
• Do not magnify or otherwise modify the laser output.
Use only approved connectors and adapters.
• Do not use controls, adjustments, or procedures not
documented or approved by Fluke Networks.
