Visual Fault Locator 

Instruction Sheet 

The VisiFault Visual Fault Locator (VFL) is a visible light source 
that helps you trace optical fibers, check fiber continuity, and 
find faults such as breaks, bad splices, and tight bends in fiber 
optic cable.  

Safety Information

*

Warning: Class 2 Laser

 

To avoid possible eye damage caused by hazardous 
radiation 

 

Never look directly into the VFL’s output (item 

A

 in 

Figure 1). Momentary exposure to the VFL’s output will 
not damage your eyes; however, direct, long-term 
exposure is potentially hazardous. 

 

Cover the VFL’s output with the dust cap when the VFL 
is not in use. 

 

Do not open the case (except to open the battery cover 
to change the batteries); no user-serviceable parts are 
inside. 

 

Do not modify the VFL. 

 

Do not magnify or otherwise modify the laser output. 
Use only approved connectors and adapters. 

 

Do not use controls, adjustments, or procedures not 
documented or approved by Fluke Networks.
