the image near the center of the display and the center of the grading rings. Use the LRUD buttons to ne tune
the image to the center of the display.
Pausing Image Scan
To freeze an image in position and focus level for inspection, press the scan button. This will pause the image at
the current position and focus level. Simply press the scan button again to set the operational mode back to live
mode for focus and position adjustments
Grading Rings
Turn on or o the grading rings by pressing menu and using the left or right buttons to highlight the grading ring
icon and press select or touch the icon on the touch screen to toggle the rings on and o.
Pass/Fail
Using the pass/fail criteria tables on the next page, determine if the connector passes the IEC61300-3-35
standard. There is a guide to contamination size located at the bottom of the image. To mark a connector as
Pass or Fail, enter the menu mode, highlight the Pass/Fail Label icon and press select to cycle through pass, fail,
or no grading. The touch screen may also be used to cycle through these settings. Once the pass fail status has
be marked, the scan may be paused with the scan button and the points of contamination that caused a failure
may be marked on the image.
Marking Points of Contamination
To mark the points of contamination the unit must be in paused mode. Pick up the contamination marker by using
the stylus and touching the contamination sample size that is required. Touch the image to place the marker.
The marker may be ne tuned with the stylus to cover the contamination point on the image to be marked. Once
the marker is positioned properly, touch the area just below the image that states, "Place marker, touch here to
apply" to lock the marker in place. Repeat this as necessary to mark all the points that need to be indicated for
the pass/fail status. At this point the image should be save with the quick save icon to record the information.
NOTE:
Marking the points of contamination should be done last, just before saving the image. Once the unit is
returned to live mode the markers are removed.
Exiting Video Scope Operation
Enter the menu mode, use the left or right buttons to highlight the Home icon and press select or touch the home
icon directly on the touch screen.
Note
The majority of function and features in the Video Scope are operable with the touch screen. It
is not necessary to enter the menu mode when using the touch screen. The menu mode needs
to be entered when the focus of the LRUD buttons needs to be taken off the positioning feature
and moved to the icon cursor.

Section 12 Maintenance
12.1 Battery Replacement
The unit is shipped factory installed Li-ion batter installed. Depending on usage, fully charged battery pack
will typically enable approximately 12 hrs. of use. Fully discharged batteries require approx. 2 hours. to charge.
Batteries ar not le replaceable and therefore the unit is to be returned to the factory for battery replaement.
Warning
To Prevent Fire or Shock Hazard:
Do not install battery types other than those specied by the manufacturer ¾
Do not use the charger without the batteries installed ¾
Do not expose the battery charger to rain or excessive moisture ¾
Do not use the AC adapter when there are signs of damage to the enclosure or cord ¾
Ensure that you are using the correct charger for the local line voltage ¾
Do not use any other charger than the one provided with this instrument. ¾
Failure to follow these caution statements may void the warranty of this equipment.
Note
For maintenance, batteries require a monthly recharge.
12.2 Calibration and Verication
Periodic verication of the OSR-80 is recommended to ensure that your instrument remains within specication.
Although not imperative, we recommend a calibration and verication once a year to make certain the instrument
is functioning properly and performing to its rated specications. Consult the factory for service.
12.3 Adapter Replacement
The FTE8100-CWDM is supplied with two easily interchangeable adapters, SC/FC. To change the adapter, remove the two screws that hold the adapter in place, pull the adapter straight up from ferrule. It is suggested that
you clean the exposed ferrule with appropriate cleanser and lint free wipe anytime you replace the ferrule.
Note
In order to maintain a low loss ber connection, care should be taken to adequately clean the ferrule of
any connector to be connected to the OSA. In the event that the port needs to be cleaned, rst step is
to be certain the instrument is o. We suggest the use of isopropyl alcohol and foam swabs specically
designed for cleaning connectors accepting 2.5mm ferrules.
Note
When replacing the adapter with one that does not have a chained protective cap, use the small screw in
place of the larger screw that retains the end of the chain to the adapter base.
