FOCIS Duel Optical Inspection Ports

FOCIS Duel is a self-contained twin-ported Bluetooth connected fiber optic connector inspection probe.  1 Port 1 – Fully featured optical inspection port. With the press of a single button, Port 1 auto-focuses, captures, centers and analyzes the end-face image to industry standard IEC 61300-3-35 (2015), IPC, AT&T and user-defined criteria. Port 1 is compatible and interworks over Bluetooth with the FOCIS App (on iOS and Android smart devices) and provides aeRos connectivity.  2 Port 1 adapter tip – Interchangeable adapter tips support single and multi- fiber connector inspection for a wide range of patch cords and bulkhead-mounted connectors having either PC/UPC or APC polished end- faces. A key on the probe snout combined with a slot on the adapter tips assures that adapter tips never loosen during use, under any circumstances. Quad-slotted APC adapter tips ensure the screen is visible in any use case.  3 Port 2 - The functionality of Port 2 is limited. Port 2 features fast and convenient female click-in adapters, auto-focus and 2X zoom capabilities. Port 2 is intended for subjective “view only” inspection. There is no image capture or end-face automatic pass/ fail analysis on Port 2. No FOCIS App support or aeRos cloud support for Port 2.  4 Port 2 adapter tip– A slot on the adapter tips combined with a keyed snout eliminates loosening during normal use. Port 2 adapter tips are available for all common connector types – Universal 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm, SC and LC in both UPC and APC polish types. 1 2 3 4 3 4 1 2

Port 2 Functionality in Live Image Mode

Port 2 is intended for subjective “view only” inspection. Functional Keys  1 Zoom/Help key (2x/?) has two functions: –– Long press initiates Help function and displays the on-screen Help menu. –– Short press toggles 1X/2X zoom for the selected Port 2. –– The label shown over the functional key A will be displayed as follows: 2X/?, if 1X zoom enabled 1X/?, if 2X zoom enabled  2 Menu key: Press to display the Main menu.  3 Up/Down arrow keys: Used for manual focus. Vertical slider B on the FOCIS Duel display indicates the current focus level relative to focus range.  4 Left arrow key: In Live Image node, toggles between Port 1 and Port 2 images.  5 Right arrow key: Press to autofocus. When using the LC female style “click-in” adapter, once the first LC (UPC or PC) end- face has been auto-focused, subsequent LC connectors of the same polish type (APC or UPC) will each be in focus without further user action, enabling rapid subjective connector end-face cleanliness and surface condition assessments. However, additional auto-focus of manual focus may be needed, if connectors are with different polish angles.  6 Capture button is disabled for Port 2! 1 2 3 4 5 6 3 2 Port 2 6 1 B 5 4 A
