Integrated Video Microscope Workstations
FVIW System

• Easy setup - only the power cord to connect
• Inclined angle for more comfortable use
• Portable - built in handle makes it easy to move
• Smooth, convenient fine focus control

When asked for our recommendation of a video system, we first suggest our new FVIW System. Originally developed upon request from a leading manufacturer in the fiber industry, these systems have grown exceptionally popular with many other key companies. All of the FVIW systems include a video microscope, video monitor, and a 2.5mm universal adapter. As always, additional adapters can be purchased separately.

• Enhanced Contrast System

The advantage of the FVIW system is the combination of our video inspection microscope and a video monitor to form one complete unit. This makes setup easy and almost instant! For 110v systems, simply pull the system from its packaging, plug it in, and its ready to use! No complex connections, no wiring diagrams. There is only one power cable in the rear. (220v models for Europe also require connecting a separate power supply)

The ergonomic design provides a more comfortable viewing angle by inclining the monitor back 22.5°. This significant feature works in tandem with the inclined face of the microscope to provide a better overall instrument/user interface.

API announces a new illumination enhancement for our 400X Video Fiber Microscopes that allows you to see even "finer" details of fiber end faces. We call this new development our Enhanced Contrast System - ECS.

With the rise in optical networking and demand for higher bandwidth systems, the necessity for cleaner, scratch-free fiber surfaces has forced polish quality and cleanliness standards higher. More critical inspections of fiber end faces must be performed. With "ECS", your Video Fiber Microscope will be capable of displaying minute debris particles and defects in fiber end faces including "fine white polish lines" (0.5 to 2.0 micron scratches).

ECS now comes standard in all our new 400X systems (FV, FVIW, FVDW, FVCW). However, if you presently own a 400X Video Fiber Microscope and would like to upgrade to ECS, please read the details below

What is the "ECS" upgrade?
The ECS upgrade is an illumination conversion package. It includes a powerful new blue LED that enhances the optical system of our Video Fiber Microscopes.

Why should I upgrade to "ECS"?
If your application requires you to inspect for and eliminate the fine white polish lines on fiber surfaces, you'll need a system that can produce extremely clear, distinct images. ECS improves the image contrast and quality which is essential for these key inspections.

How can I convert my system to ECS?
API will convert your system to ECS when you return you unit to our service department. This modification takes a very short time to complete, and your unit will be returned to you promptly upon completion. We ask that you call our Customer Service department to obtain a return authorization number and instructions for your shipment. Please call 416-281-6902 or e-mail us at info@agtprint.com. The serial number of your unit(s) is required.
