P5000i Digital Analysis Microscope

1

Overview The P5000i Digital Analysis Microscope is a portable handheld microscope used

to inspect and certify both the bulkhead (female) and patch cord (male) sides of
ber connectors as well as other optical devices, such as transceivers. The probe
is specially designed to t and operate comfortably and easily in-hand, allowing
the user to inspect hard-to-reach connectors that are installed on the back side
of patch panels or inside hardware devices. The P5000i automatically inspects and
analyzes the ber end faces, detects scratches and defects, and provides instant
Pass/Fail results. This eliminates subjectivity and time-consuming guesswork from
the inspection process.

The P5000i can deliver these results to a PC/Laptop and JDSU test platforms, such
as the MTS/T-BERD 2000/4000/6000 and HST-3000.

FiberChekPRO Software

3

Overview The P5000i Digital Analysis Microscope uses FiberChekPRO (automated

analysis software) to operate on a PC/Laptop, and instantly captures, analyzes and

grades ber endface images to obtain a PASS/FAIL result and generate certication
reports.

FiberChekPRO is a software application used to determine the acceptability
of optical ber end faces through automated inspection and analysis. Used in
conjunction with JDSU’s P5000i Digital Analysis Microscope, FiberChekPRO will
identify and characterize defects and contamination then provide a PASS or
FAIL result according to a pre-congured failure criteria setting. In addition, the
program allows users to archive data, generate reports and obtain an Optical Power
Measurement (OPM) with both the MP-series and FI-series test tools from JDSU.

CHAPTER 3 P5000i Digital Analysis Microscope

P5000i Digital Analysis Microscope 13

FiberChekPRO™

FiberChekPRO Performs the Following Automated Procedures

1. Acquires the ber image.

2. Analyzes the image.

3. Finds defects and their location to ber core.

4. Measures and evaluates the defects within each specied Zone.

5. Determines whether defects within the Zones are acceptable according to the

pre-congured failure criteria for each Zone.

6. Displays the results as PASS or FAIL.

7. Saves or prints all relative results in designated directory or printer, respectively.

Overview

Proles

The P5000i Digital Analysis Microscope also operates on several other JDSU
handheld test platforms to instantly capture, analyze and grade ber endface
images to obtain a PASS/FAIL result and generate certication reports. P5000i will
operate on these platforms in a similar way to FiberChekPRO. The user will always
specify what prole to test against and what tip is attached (found in setup or options
menu). For more information on using the P5000i with other device platforms, see
the user manuals for the specic tool or platform.
