Chapter 1 | Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your new LightWave EasyCheck Optical End-face Inspection

System. We are confident it will provide you with years of superb service, reliability, and

accuracy.

The EasyCheck EC400KC features a continuous variable zoom ratio, manual focusing, X and

Y-axis adjustable function and 400x, 200x or 80x zoom capability.

EasyCheck combines a compact design with enhanced functionality. Replacing the

traditional combination of a microscope and monitor, users can simply connect power and

begin operation. EasyCheck helps you save time and space, and improve productivity.

Advanced coaxial illumination permits easy detection of fine defects on the end-face of the

fiber connector. The conjunction with a dust-proof, high-resolution image sensor, an 8"

black-and-white digital TFT display clearly shows all details of the fiber end-face.

EasyCheck is equipped with 1.25mm and 2.5mm ceramic precision tips that meet most

inspection requirements. The high concentricity provides an ideally centered image when

installing different tips. The ceramic casing tips have nearly infinite life and the image will not

deviate from center due to extended use. The fiber End-face image can be captured at any

time and stored on a standard SD flash memory card.

Durability & Value

Durability is one of the most important factors to consider when evaluating inspection

equipment. Every EasyCheck unit and component comes from considerable design and

selection processes. The outstanding performance makes inspection a pleasure and the low

price and low failure rate give users real benefits.

Design Concept

Easycheck combines the compact appearance with enhanced functionality. Integrated

design results in smaller size and more convenient operation. Users simply connect the power

cable to the unit to start inspections. You no longer need to worry about the complicated cable

between monitor and microscope. Easycheck helps you save time and space, and improve

productivity.

Unrivaled Image Quality

The optical amplification system for coaxial illumination makes even the finest defects in the

endface of fiber connector clearly visible. The high-resolution image sensor, along with 8"

black-and-white digital TFT display clearly shows all details of the fiber endface, ensuring

reliability of inspection results.

Convenience

Our engineers designed the focus ring on the EasyCheck for smooth focusing. External

adapter tips make inspections of numerous connector types quick and simple.

Dust-proof

Dustproofing has been incorporated within the focusing system. Even working in dirty

environments will not affect the focus performance.
