Visual fault locator

The FLS-235 Pocket Pal visual fault locator uses a red laser to hel¥locate bends, breaks, pinches, poor connections and other sources of undesirable optical loss on multimode and singlemode fiber. The fault locator is pulsed or continuous and operates on two AA alkaline batteries. Two configurations--635 and 670 nm--are available.
