FlexScan ® FS300 Quad OTDR Be ready for anything with this all-in-one solution Features • Multi-mode and Singlemode OTDR, including PON test • SmartAuto ® 1-button automated testing for fast results • Pocket-sized, weighs less than 1 pound, 12-hour battery • LinkMap ® colour-coded icons for easy troubleshooting • Integrated Source, Power Meter and VFL • Robust reporting including Print-to-PDF Applications • OTDR and insertion loss test and reporting • Fast, accurate Pt-to-Pt and PON verification and troubleshooting • Locate faults exceeding industry or user pass/fail thresholds • Visually pinpoint location of macrobends or breaks AFL’s FlexScan FS300 Quad OTDR is an all-in-one solution for detecting, identifying, locating and resolving singlemode and multi- mode optical network issues. It is designed for both novice and expert technicians working in a range of environments from data centers to fibre-to-the-home, as well as local and wide area networks. The FlexScan FS300 automates test setup, shortens test time and simplifies results interpretation, improving efficiency and reducing costs. All-in-one test capability: The FlexScan FS300 includes an integrated VFL, power meter and light source. It can be easily paired to AFL’s award-winning FOCIS family of inspection scopes for single-fibre and/or MPO and OptiTip ® multifibre inspection, ensuring technicians have everything they need to locate and resolve optical network issues. Performance-packed: With SmartAuto automated multi-pulse acquisition, 37 dB dynamic range and best-in-class dead zones, FlexScan Quad OTDRs test multi-mode and singlemode networks – including FTTH PONs and POLANs up to 1:64 split ratio – while still detecting and measuring events <2 meters apart. User-friendly: The FS300 enables both expert and novice technicians to quickly and accurately detect, locate, identify and measure optical network components and faults. 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. Pocket-sized: The FlexScan FS300’s small form factor still delivers 12-hour battery operation plus a large, bright, indoor/outdoor, 5-inch, 800 x 480 pixel touchscreen display that doesn’t need a stylus. Multiple Reporting Options: Reports can be generated directly from the unit using Print-to-PDF feature or files can be transferred wirelessly or uploaded via USB to the included Windows ® compatible TRM ® 3.0 Test Results Manager software.

FlexScan ® FS300 Quad OTDR Dramatically Reduces Test Time In SmartAuto mode, FlexScan OTDRs automatically analyze 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. Simplifies Network Troubleshooting LinkMap® colour-coded icons enable even novice users to easily and accurately troubleshoot optical networks. LinkMap clearly identifies 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 of detected events is compared to industry-standard or user-defined pass/ fail thresholds and displayed with clear pass/fail indications. Users can instantly toggle between LinkMap and Trace views. Multi-mode and Singlemode plus PON Testing in One OTDR FlexScan Quad OTDRs are the ideal test tool for verifying and/or maintaining both singlemode and multi-mode networks. Unlike most Quad OTDRs, FS300 OTDRs test both point-to-point networks and FTTH PONs/Passive Optical LANs (POLANs). 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. Images and pass/fail results can be transferred to the FlexScan for display and/or archiving with OTDR results. FlexScan results can be transferred wirelessly via the free FlexScan App to a smart device for real-time reporting using the included Windows-based TRM® 3.0 Test Results Manager software. Monitoring test results in real-time can detect mistakes while the tech is still in the field, preventing 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-synchronizes 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 Visual Fault Locator’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.
