Hi, I'm Carolyn Carter.
I am the certification tools product manager at Fluke Networks and it's my
pleasure today to introduce you to the FI-3000 fiber inspector probe
for both single and NPO end faces.
So I'm going to start by telling you what comes with the product and then
introducing you to it.
It all comes in this case which will hold everything besides the probe in the
case you have USB cord to connect it to Versiv, it has a charger and then it has
full worldwide adapters so you can charge it no matter where you are in the world.
It also has a holster which I'm going to show you how to use in a few minutes
that's really nice and will make your job easier.
Then it has different tips and adapters. So as you know,
we have both single mode and multimode fiber in NPO and you need different tips
and adapters for that. So if you have multimode, which is aqua,
you're going to be using a UPC tip,
which looks like this and notice it has an aqua or blue ring on it.
You will also be using a key up, key up gray adapter to connect to an end face.
If you are using single mode which uses APC,
then you'll be using an APC tip.
You'll notice it also is green and it is angled because all APC
has a 7 to 8 degree angle to it.
You also, since it's APC, will need to be using a key up key down adapter,
which is also green. So remember if you're using single mode,
which is green connectors,
make sure you're using a green adapter and a green tip.
If you're using multimode, which is aqua, again,
you want to be using the gray adapter and the blue tip.
Now we also have for you a little box that will hold all your adapters in your
connectors and the nice thing about this is it fits into the holster.
All right. Now I'd like to show you some details about the probe itself.
The first thing I'd like to show you is on the base on the bottom of the probe
there is a USB C port that is for connecting it to Versiv using the USB cord or
for charging it with the charger.
Next it has a cap to protect the front and here is where I'm going to connect
all my tips so if I happen to take this tip I can just push it on and twirl it
and then I have the tip connected and the nice thing is,
or the cover also will fit with a tip on.
In the back of the unit I have a display and four buttons.
This one right here on the bottom is power on off. When I hit it,
you'll see the blue light goes on.
That blue light is telling me that I am now wifi enabled.
I also have another button here and this is the port bright button.
This is really nice if I'm in a dark enclosure. It was when I pushed that button,
a little LED on the front goes on and now I can see things in a dark location.
So that is really nice. I'm going to turn it off.
There's also an auto focus and a test button which you'll see later on.
This is basically what comes with the product.
Next I want to show some it optional accessories that you may be very well interested in.
The first is a Quick Clean and this is 1224 it is good for cleaning a 1 by 12
or 2 by 12 end face.
It's really important that you clean your MPOs because dirt can just move from
one fiber to the other fiber. When you're using an NPO and as
we know over 80% of all network problems on a fiber system are due to dirt,
so make sure you have some type of cleaning material.
So this one again is for 1224 I have a second one.
This one is four 1632s, so if I have a 1 by 16 or 2 by 16 giving me 32 fibers,
this is what I'm going to use.
Now, if I am using a 1632 system,
I need some different tips at adapters.
And so I have here one for UPC 16 and a new adapter for 16. Why do I need a new tip?
I need a new tip because if you look here on the front,
this key,
it's not in the middle like it is on my base 12 it's been moved to the side
and so now, um, that will tell me it's 16 based tip.
Instead of a 12 based tip I need a new adapter because if you look at the adapter,
it also has the key moved.
So you need to make sure you're using the right tip and the right adapter,
whether you're using a 12 based system or a 16 based system.
So we do have options if you're using 16 all right,
now I'd like to show you how the holster works. Let's start with the back flap.
This is really nice because it gives me the ability to use the holster whether
I'm wearing a belt or not, if I'm wearing a belt.
So I just flipped the holster through the belt and I'm off and ready or,
if you're like me and you don't wear a belt, I could just take this flap up,
stick it in my pocket and I'm ready to go.
So the holster works with or without a belt, which is a nice feature.
So if I open this and it has a magnetic enclosure on front,
I can take a Quick Clean. Again,
remember I said it's very important that you clean your mpos and it can go right
here in the front,
the little container that is holding all of my adapters and tips.
So if I need to change adapters or tips when I'm in the field,
I have them with me. Go right here on the front. Then the probe itself.
Just drops right in and close the front in. There I go.
I have my package,
everything I need to test NPO or single fiber in the field.
Now, everything except one important element.
You do need to download the app onto your phone or a tablet from the appropriate
store. If you're using ios, you're going to download it from the Apple store.
If you're using an Android device, you'll download it from Google play.
The application is called FI-IN. F I Dash I N.
So make sure you download and install that on your phone or tablet,
and then we're ready to go and start inspecting NPO or single end faces.
