FlexScan® TS100 – the solution to problems in FTTH PON networks

The FlexScan TS100 diagnostic tool is an intuitive, complete solution for detecting, identifying, locating and resolving problems in optical networks. The TS100 is configured to quickly measure incoming power level, link length, loss and return loss at the press of a single button. Results are shown as clear, colour-coded LinkMap® icons to make diagnostics easier. The TS100 automates measurements, shortens their duration, simplifies interpretation of the results and suggests possible solutions – improving the efficiency of front-line technicians and reducing network maintenance and build costs.

Sample measurement from the AFL TS100 multimeter with an OTDR trace

Diagnose the network in seconds: Simply press the Start button and the TS100 instantly measures the power level if it detects that it has been connected to a live GPON or 10GPON network. Within seconds it displays link length, loss and return loss, together with an indication of events that exceed standard or user-defined thresholds. Based on the analysis of the results, the TS100 often proposes possible corrective actions, helping technicians locate and fix the problem.

Requires minimal or no training: Designed primarily for field technicians turning up or servicing broadband access networks, the TS100 requires minimal training and no OTDR measurement experience. SmartAuto® technology automatically selects the measurement parameters and displays the results as easy-to-interpret, colour-coded icons.

All measurements in one device: The TS100 features a visual fault locator (VFL), a power meter and a light source. It can easily be paired with the award-winning FOCIS-family inspection probes, giving technicians a complete toolset for quickly locating and eliminating optical network problems. The light source and meter support tone generation used for fiber identification and loss measurements using Wave ID technology (automatic identification of the test wavelength).

Built for field work: The FlexScan TS100 is small (86 x 160 x 43 mm) and lightweight (under 0.4 kg). It has a large, bright touchscreen (readable both outdoors and indoors) and a battery that supports over 12 hours of operation.

Multiple ways to store and report results: Results can be stored in the device’s memory, saved to USB or transferred wirelessly via the free FlexScan App for real-time reporting using the included TRM® 3.0 results-management and automatic report-generation software.

Money-saving kits: Combine the FlexScan TS100 with a launch cable of your choice and a FOCIS Flex inspection probe with adapters to generate significant savings.

Power level, link length, loss and return loss in seconds

Link length, loss and return loss are key parameters when assessing an optical network. Within seconds of pressing Start, the FlexScan TS100 measures and displays the distance, loss and return loss of a point-to-point network or up to the first splitter in FTTH PON networks. In addition, on live PON networks, the TS100 also measures the incoming transmission power levels. The resulting power-level, link-length, loss and return-loss values can be compared against pass/fail thresholds for instant problem identification. By touching an event highlighted in red, the technician gets instant information on the reason it failed and a suggestion for corrective action.

Locating and identifying problems – suggested corrective actions

The TS100 automatically detects network events such as connectors, splices, splitters and macrobends. It displays them using colour-coded, easy-to-interpret LinkMap® icons, instantly identifying the problem that needs attention. Touching any event icon returns information about its status (good/bad), location, loss, reflectance and recommended corrective actions. For more information about an event, simply touch the parameter that fails to meet the requirements and has been flagged as bad.

Connectivity

Results can be stored in the device’s memory, saved to USB or transferred wirelessly via the free FlexScan App for real-time reporting using the included TRM® 3.0 results-management and automatic report-generation software.

The FlexScan TS100 also connects seamlessly with the award-winning FOCIS® inspection probes for fast, easy single- and multi-fiber connector inspection available at the press of a button. Inspection results can be stored in the TS100’s memory or exported for archiving.

Optional power meter for GPON, Video, 10GPON

The FlexScan TS100 is available with a meter for the transmission power delivered to the subscriber (option P2), letting users instantly and independently verify transmission at 1490 nm (GPON), 1550 nm (video) or 1577 nm (10GPON, XG/XGS-PON or 10GEPON).

The TS100 is also equipped with a light source (OLS) and power meter (OPM) supporting tone generation used for fiber identification and loss measurements using Wave ID technology. With Wave ID, the power meter automatically synchronises with another FlexScan device or AFL light source. The meter measures at one or many wavelengths, automatically switching to the correct wavelength. This saves a lot of time and eliminates the chance of error.
