    FLS-140
     VISUAL FAULT LOCATOR (VFL)

     Highly efficient pocket-size VFL—the ideal complementary tool for any fiber-testing technician.

    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.
