LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke Networks product is warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period for the mainframe is
one year and begins on the date of purchase. Parts, accessories, product repairs and
services are warranted for 90 days, unless otherwise stated. Ni-Cad, Ni-MH and Li-Ion
batteries, cables or other peripherals are all considered parts or accessories. The
warranty extends only to the original buyer or end user customer of a Fluke Networks
authorized reseller, and does not apply to any product which, in Fluke Networks’
opinion, has been misused, abused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by
accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke Networks warrants
that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications
for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke
Networks does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without
interruption.
Fluke Networks authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused
products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or
different warranty on behalf of Fluke Networks. Warranty support is available only if
product is purchased through a Fluke Networks authorized sales outlet or Buyer has
paid the applicable international price. Fluke Networks reserves the right to invoice
Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in
one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke Networks warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke Networks option, to refund of
the purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which
is returned to a Fluke Networks authorized service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke Networks authorized service

service center, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB
destination). Fluke Networks assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following
warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB
destination). If Fluke Networks determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse,
contamination, alteration, accident or abnormal condition of operation or handling,
or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke Networks will provide an
estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work.
Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and
the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping

Overview of the CertiFiber Pro Optical Loss Test Set Modules
The Fluke Networks CertiFiber® Pro Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS)
modules attach to Versiv
rugged, hand-held testers that let you certify, troubleshoot, and
document optical fiber cabling installations. The testers include
these features:
Measures optical power loss and length on dual-fiber,
multimode cabling at 850 nm and 1300 nm (CFP-MM) or on
dual-fiber singlemode cabling at 1310 nm and 1550 nm
(CFP-SM). The four-wavelength module (CFP-QUAD) measures
at 850 nm, 1300 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm.
Interchangeable connector adapters on input and output
ports let you make reference and test connections that agree
with ISO standards for most SFF (small form factor)
connectors.
Visual fault locator helps you find breaks, bad splices, and
bends and verify fiber continuity and polarity.
You can save approximately 30,000 fiber test results in the
tester’s internal memory. You can save more results on a
removable flash drive.

Safety Information
Safety Information
Table 1 shows the international electrical symbols used on the
tester or in this manual. Symbols for certifications and compliance
are on page 131.
: This key turns the tester on and off.
Table 1. International Electrical Symbols
Warning: Risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
Warning or Caution: Risk of damage or destruction to equipment
or software. See explanations in the manuals.
Warning: Class 1 (OUTPUT port) and Class 2 (VFL port) lasers. Risk of
eye damage from hazardous radiation.
Do not put products containing circuit boards into the garbage.
Dispose of circuit boards in accordance with local regulations.
Warning
To prevent possible fire, electric shock, or personal
injury:
Use only AC adapters approved by Fluke Networks
for use with the tester to supply power to the tester
and charge the battery.
Do not put the battery pack in a fire or an
environment with temperatures more than 140 °F
(60 °C).
Do not use the tester in damp or wet environments.
Do not short-circuit or disassemble the battery pack.
Do not use the tester if it is damaged. Inspect the
tester before use.
Do not open the case; no user-serviceable parts are
inside.
Do not modify the tester.

CertiFiber Pro Fiber Optical Loss Test Set
Users Manual
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified
by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment can possibly be impaired.
Warning: Class 1 and Class 2 Laser Products
To prevent possible eye damage caused by
hazardous radiation:
Do not look directly into optical connectors. Some
optical equipment emits invisible radiation that can
cause permanent damage to your eyes.
Keep the module’s OUTPUT ports covered with a
dust cap or keep a test reference cord attached. The
OUTPUT ports can emit radiation even when you do
not do a test.
Do not run any tests that activate the outputs on
the tester unless a fiber is attached to the output.
When you inspect fiber endfaces, use only
magnification devices that have the correct filters.
Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures not
stated herein can possibly result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
Caution
To prevent damage to the tester or cables under
test and to prevent data loss:
Do not connect the tester to an active network.
Doing so causes unreliable test results, can disrupt
network operations, and can cause damage to the
module’s receiver.
Use proper cleaning procedures to clean all fiber
connectors before every use. Neglecting this step or
using improper procedures can cause unreliable test
results and may permanently damage the
connectors. See Chapter 6.

Chapter 1: Get Acquainted
Safety Information
Use a video probe to periodically inspect the
module’s optical connectors for scratches and other
damage.
To make sure your test results are as accurate as
possible, do the reference procedure frequently. See
“About the Reference for Fiber Tests” on page 42.
Use only high-quality test reference cords that
comply with the standards. See “About Test
Reference Cords and Mandrels” on page 44
Connect the AC adapter or replace the battery as
soon as the low battery indication appears.
Keep modules attached to the main and remote
Versiv units to give protection to the module
connectors.
Do not remove the USB flash drive while the LED on
the drive flashes. Doing so can corrupt the data on
the drive.
You can lose a USB flash drive, cause damage to it,
or accidentally erase the contents of the drive. Thus,
Fluke Networks recommends that you save no more
than one day of test results on a flash drive.
