Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the FiberChek Sidewinder MPO Inspection Probe.

Inspection of fiber optic interconnects is essential for the optimal performance and longevity of fiber optic

networks. Every time they are handled, fiber connectors must be inspected to ensure no debris or damage

is present. VIAVI has made this critical task easier than ever with the FiberChek Sidewinder MPO Inspection

Probe. Sidewinder’s standalone operation, color touchscreen display, and Wi-Fi connectivity allow fast, reliable

maintenance of optical connector quality.

Chapter 2 Overview

Using the Menu

Many of Sidewinder’s features and settings can be found in the Menu. To access the menu, tap the touchscreen

when in the Live Inspection View. If the Sidewinder is displaying an analysis result or still image, return to the Live

Inspection View by pressing the Autofocus/Inspection Trigger once.

Using Tips and Adapters

Sidewinder uses the FCPT Series probe tips. These are purpose-built for Sidewinder, and must be installed

correctly ensure that the fibers in the array are properly enumerated.

When looking at an FCPT tip, you will see that one side of the flat edge of the tip has a cutout and a key (Side

A). The other side has a tab cutout (Side B). To ensure proper fiber enumeration, set the tip with the Side A

facing up, so that when you hold the Sidewinder with the touchscreen-side up, the hollow/keyed side of the tip

is facing toward you.

Sidewinder is primarily designed to inspect and analyze multi-fiber connector end faces, such as MTP® and

MPO, but can also be configured to inspect and analyze simplex fibers.

Sidewinder ships with the FCPP-OLA-1 Optical Lens Assembly attached by default (see Figure 4). This is the

required optical assembly for all FCPT Series multi-fiber connector tips for Sidewinder.

Navigating the Menu

• Select an item using the Manual Focus/Navigation Control.

• Press the Action Button or tap the underlined menu item to confirm a selection or view additional

options.

• Press the Magnification/Return Button to return to the previous screen. Pressing the Magnification/

Return Button from Sidewinder’s top-level Menu will return to the Live Inspection View.

• Press the Autofocus/Inspection Trigger at any time to return to the Live Inspection View.

Chapter 2 Overview

To inspect a simplex fiber, follow these steps

Step 1. From the Live Image mode, enter the menu by tapping the touchscreen.

Step 2. Enter the Connector Setup wizard, which should be the first option in the menu.

Step 3. Select the appropriate profile for the type of simplex fiber you want to inspect; Sidewinder will

move the objective to the right.

Step 4. Select Simplex for the connector type by pressing the Action button.

Step 5. Select the tip setting you will use for your simplex inspection (for more information about tip

settings, also called Optical Settings, refer to the FiberChekPRO user manual).

Step 6. Turn Sidewinder OFF.

Step 7. Remove any FCPT tip on the front of the Sidewinder, if present, by unthreading the collar and

pulling the tip away from the probe body.

Step 8. Carefully unthread the FCPP-OLA-1 optical lens assembly on the front of the probe.

a. Be sure not to touch the lens on the front of the tip.

b. Store the FCPP-OLA-1 carefully to ensure it does not become dirty or damaged.

Step 9. Attach the FCPT-UFBPT assembly (see Figure 1).

a. First install the short black hollow tube on the inside-front of the Sidewinder, threading it

on using the included narrow collar.

b. Once the black tube is installed, attach the larger metal body of the FCPT-UFBPT to the

outside-front of the Sidewinder using the larger collar.

c. Note that you may need to move the short black hollow tube manually to attach the

FCPT-UFBPT.

Step 10. Attach your simplex tip or barrel.

a. If using a hollow tip that requires an FBPP-BAP1 barrel assembly, attach the FBPP-BAP1 to

the FCPT-UFBPT (see Figure 2).

b. If your tip is hollow, it requires a FBPP-BAP1.

c. If using a tip that contains its own optics, you can attach the tip directly to the

FCPT-UFBPT without a barrel assembly (see Figure 3).

d. Examples of tips containing optics include long reach (-L) tips, 60-degree (-A6) tips, and

certain others.

Step 11. Once your simplex tip is attached, you are ready to configure your probe for simplex inspection—

See Inspecting Simplex Fiber.

Step 12. Remember that when you are ready to return to inspecting ribbon fiber, you will need to

perform Steps 6 through 10 in reverse, including removing the hollow tube part of the FCPT-

UFBPT and reattaching the FCPP-OLA-1.

Important: Do not turn Sidewinder ON with the FCPT-UFBPT attached unless you are certain that you

have configured the probe for simplex inspection. Doing so will cause the x-axis motor to grind against the

constraints of the FCPT-UFBPT, potentially damaging the motor.
