Key features
1. Bright red laser at 655 nm
2. Pulsed and CW operation
3. 40 hours of operation (typical)
4. Standard AAA alkaline batteries
5. Pocket-size pen-style design
6. 2.5 mm universal connector
Description
The FLS-140 is the easiest way to identify optical fibers from end to end and locate polished connector endfaces. Its red laser shines through most yellow-jacketed optical fibers to help you pinpoint breaks, bends, faulty connectors, splices and other causes of signal loss. It has a reach of up to 5 km. The convenient FLS-140 locates faults visually by creating a bright red glow at the exact location of the fault on singlemode or multimode optical fibers.
Compact design
With a pocket-size pen-style design, this visual fault locator can easily be carried anywhere. Thanks to its anodized aluminum casing, this long-lasting and lightweight tool is the complementary tool of choice for any fiber-testing field technician.
Cost effective
The FLS-140’s extremely high efficiency guarantees prolonged operation with two standard AAA alkaline batteries, typically providing 40 hours of uninterrupted operation.
Priced to accommodate the tightest budgets, the FLS-140 is a truly affordable way to locate faults in OTDR dead zones. Its effectiveness justifies purchasing one for just about every fiber technician.

* Typical length of continuous fiber at which end-to-end identification is possible, depending on fiber attenuation. VFL depends on ambient light conditions at test site
a. Specifications are valid at 23 °C ± 3 °C.
b. Only valid with 50/125 µm fiber.
c. Depends on fiber attenuation.
d. Typical battery life using AAA alkaline batteries: VARTA Industrial No. 4003; 1.5 V; LR03 Micro; AM4; MN2400. Battery life may fluctuate significantly, depending on specific unit’s laser current.
