It is designed for both novice and expert technicians working in a range of environments, from FTTH PON to point-to-point networks. It applies industry-standard or user-set pass/fail criteria and displays results using LinkMap colour-coded icons that immediately show the health of the network. The FlexScan FS200 automates test setup, shortens test time, and simplifies results interpretation improving efficiency and reducing costs. All-in-one test capability: The FlexScan FS200 includes an integrated VFL, power meter, and light source. It can be easily paired to AFL’s award-winning FOCIS family of inspection scopes, ensuring technicians have everything they need to locate and quickly resolve optical network issues. Performance-packed: With SmartAuto multi-pulse acquisition, up to 37 dB dynamic range, and best-in-class 25 m PON dead zone, FlexScan FS200 PON OTDRs test FTTH PONs up to 1:64 while still detecting and measuring events only meters apart. Fast! FleXpress mode completes dual-wavelength tests in < 5 seconds – 10 x faster than conventional OTDRs! For multi-fibre testing, FS200s automatically control AFL’s MFS Multi-Fibre Switch (12-fibre MPO switch) to further reduce multi-fibre test time. Pocket-sized: At 86 x 160 x 43 mm and less than 0.4 kg, FlexScan FS200 OTDRs truly fit in your pocket, yet still provide a large, bright indoor/outdoor touchscreen display, and all-day operation.

F lex S can ® FS200 Single-mode OTDR Dramatically Reduces Test Time In SmartAuto mode, FlexScan OTDRs automatically analyse and test the network using a variety of network-optimised settings to precisely locate, characterise and identify network events with one button push. Loss and reflectance are measured for connectors, splices, splitters and macro-bends. FlexScan even checks for live fibre and verifies OTDR launch quality before initiating a test. FlexScan’s new FleXpress mode completes dual-wavelength tests in seconds, reducing test time by a factor of 10x compared to conventional OTDRs. For multi-fibre testing, FleXpress mode automatically controls AFL’s MPO Switch, testing 12 fibres at the touch of a single button. Simplifies Network Troubleshooting LinkMap with pass/fail enables even novice users to easily and accurately troubleshoot optical networks. LinkMap presents an icon-based view of the tested network clearly identifying fibre start, end, connectors, splices, PON splitters, and macro-bends. A LinkMap summary provides end-to-end link length, loss and ORL. Loss and reflectance and displayed with clear pass/fail indications. Users can instantly toggle between LinkMap and Trace views. Connectivity FlexScan OTDRs easily pair with AFL's ward-winning FOCIS ® family of connector inspection probes for fast, easy single-fibre and/or multi-fibre connector end-face inspection. FlexScan results can then be transferred wirelessly via the free FlexScan App to a smart device for real-time reporting using the included Test Results Manager (TRM 3.0) PC-based software. This real-time monitoring can help avoid mistakes in the field that will require future truck rolls. OTDR, OLTS, and VFL Testing with a Single Tool FlexScan optionally includes a Wave ID optical light source (OLS) and optical power meter (OPM). With Wave ID, the OPM auto-synchronises to a single or multi- wavelength Wave ID optical signal transmitted by an AFL light source. The OPM reports detected wavelengths and measures power and loss at each wavelength, saving significant test time and eliminating setup errors. The integrated VFL’s eye-safe red laser enables users to visually pinpoint the location of macro-bends and fibre breaks often found in splice closures and fibre cabinets.
