HiLite and VFI2 Visual Fault Identiﬁers

The HiLite and VFI 2 are compact but powerful visible red laser sources designed to

troubleshoot faults on ﬁber optic cables. Light generated by these units will escape from

sharp bends and breaks in jacketed or bare ﬁbers, as well as poorly mated connectors.

They can identify faults in ﬁber optic jumper cables, distribution frames, patch panels, and

splice trays.

The HiLite and VFI 2 are an excellent complement to an OTDR because they can locate

faults inside the OTDR’s dead-zone. Other applications include end-to-end continuity

checks, identifying connectors in patch panels and ﬁbers during splicing operations. The

universal connector interface provides fast operation with many connector styles without

changing an adapter.

Operating Instructions

The HiLite is a visible red laser source

designed to troubleshoot faults on ﬁber

optic cables. Attach a 2.5 mm ferrule

to the connector interface and press

the power button to activate the laser.

The HiLite is a registered Class II Laser Product. Always avoid directly

viewing the optical output.

Warning: The use of controls or adjustments or performance

of procedures other than those speciﬁed herein may result in

hazardous laser light exposure.

Maintenance

To replace the AAA battery, remove the screw on the back side of the

unit. Carefully pull the unit apart. Place the battery in the unit ensuring

that the + and - poles correspond with the poles that are printed in the

compartment. Replace the cover and tighten screw. Except for battery

replacement, there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments.

All service should be performed at the factory. The optical output should

be cleaned regularly with an optical grade cleaner.
