PX-Q505 FLASHPISTOL® STANDARD LEAK DETECTION SET
Availability: Call For Availability
The PX-Q505 Flashpistol® leak detection set is state of the art in precision fiber optic fault location. This set is comprised of the patented PX-Q500 leak detection gun and a PX-Q404 tracer source. It is designed to find infrared radiation from firearm, rodent, or burn damage in aerial cables as well internal splice enclosure fiber faults. While an OTDR can find approximate distance to a problem, pinpointing problems in the real world is more often about luck, intuition, or trial and error.
The PX-Q505 can also be used to pinpoint faults inside a splice enclosure or hub using interchangeable heads. To use the Flashpistol® probe, simply squeeze and hold the trigger and sweep over a suspect area.
