INNO Instrument

Modular OTDR with
high performance
View 600

The INNO Instrument View 600 can handle all measurement tasks in optical networks. Thanks to its modular design, it can be equipped with 13 different modules and therefore leaves nothing to be desired. In addition to the extremely precise measurement results, the very powerful CPU allows a very short reaction time.

In combination with the high-quality capacitive touch screen and the intuitive user interface, already known from other devices, the View 600 convinces in every respect.

  • 13 modules applicable

  • SOLA (Smart Optical Link Analyzer)

  • 7″ Touch screen with smart GUI

  • 8 GB storage with internal SD Card & external USB memory

  • Built-In VFL, light source and OPM

Key Features

INNO Instrument View 600: OTDR (Optical time domain reflectometer)

OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer)

OTDR mode allows you to measure distance, loss, reflectance, attenuation, ORL and sum on an optical fiber. In Auto mode, the test is automatically performed without further adjustments. Test results can be stored in 3 types of formats (image, SOR, PDF).

INNO Instrument View 600: SOLA (Smart optical link analyzer)

SOLA (Smart Optical Link Analyzer)

SOLA (Smart Optical Link Analyzer), an application that simplifies the measurement process, shows you accurate test results using an advanced algorithm and an optimal multiple pulse width. You do not need to set complicated parameters, which means that even unskilled workers can perform measurements with great ease.

INNO Instrument View 600: VFL / Visual fault locator

VFL (Visual Fault Locator)

VFL (Visual Fault Locator) visually identifies the location of the bending point, defective connector or splice point by emitting a bright red laser (it can reach a maximum of 10 km), and this is an essential function for field technicians.

Fiber microscope

Testing the end-face of the fiber on connectors with a fiber optic microscope is very important, as a contaminated or damaged connector can cause critical damage to the test results as well as to the test port.

APC connector

To improve test efficiency and optimize the OTDR function, it is recommended to use the APC connector and plug it to the MINI 2 SM port, due to the low reflectance it causes. The reflection coefficient is the key parameter that will affect OTDR performance and particularly the dead zone (APC connector performance is better than UPC connector performance).
