Universal LightProbeTM Side-Looking Fiber-Optic Probes:
Optomistic Products has designed new Fiber-optic Probes to address the challenge of testing side-
facing LEDs. The new design tolerates lateral misalignment, making it easier to test side-facing LEDs
with very low height profiles.
Available in both wide-aperture and small-aperture sizes as well as the popular and cost-effective
Trident assembly, which can test 3 side-facing LEDs with a single sensor.

Universal LightProbeTM Sensor Six-Pack:
The Universal LightProbe Sensor Six-Pack provides a compact and efficient way to install six Universal
LightProbe Sensors in a single space-saving unit. The convenient installation provides two standard
circuit-board header connectors, enabling the use of standard ribbon cable connectors for the
Universal LightProbe Sensors output. A single power and a single ground wire is all that is needed
to connect as many as six Sensors.
The Sensor Six-Pack will accommodate any combination of the pre-programmed Universal LightProbe
Sensor models, which can then be paired with a wide variety of Fiber-optic Probes to customize for
a specific test. For example, the popular Penta Sensor can be combined with Trident Fiber-optic
Probes to test 18 LEDs.
Easy Installation: Two tapped (4-40)
mounting holes are used for installation
with 1/4 in. stand-offs. Both 10-pin and
14-pin standard circuit-board header
connectors accommodate either analog
or digital Sensor outputs.

Universal LightProbe Sensor Sensitivity Selection guide: TM
Optomistic Products offers a selection of Universal LightProbes for testing various intensity LEDs. Sensor selection depends
on several factors, including:
l The size of LED under test
l The brightness of the LED under test (check the manufacturers data sheet for intensity in mcd)
l The type of Universal LightProbe Fiber-optic Probe being used for the test
l The air-gap between the fiber-optic probe tip and the LED under test
l Whether the LED is being tested through translucent material of unknown transmission characteristics.
The chart below serves as a guide to determine which sensor and fiber-optic probe is best for your specific LED test application.

Part 2 - Fiber-Optic Probes
Universal LightProbeTM Fiber-Optic Probe Selection Guide
After choosing a pre-programmed Sensor for the type of test and output you require, then choose a Fiber-optic
Probe to further customize the test for mechanical requirements and constraints. Fiber-optic Probes come in a
variety of aperture styles (wide-aperture, small-aperture, contacting tip), fiber-optic cable type, and
stainless-steel tip lengths to meet your exact requirements for testing LEDs. These options are outlined below.
Small-Aperture (SA) Fiber-Optic Probes: Our most popular and cost-efficient option.
Appropriate for most testing applications. The best choice for testing closely-spaced LEDs. Small-Aperture
Fiber-Optic Probes come in Single models for testing single LEDS, Duplex for testing two LEDs sequentially, and
the Trident and Skinny Trident models for testing three LEDs sequentially.
Single (250-12): For testing single LEDs.

- Flexible cable: 1 x 9.84 in./250mm long. - Probe tip type: Stainless-steel
- Probe tip dia.: 0.050 in. /1.27mm - Air-gap: 1mm min. recommended
- LED spacing: Not less than 0.050 in. / 1.27mm - See probe tip lengths below
Fiber-Optic Cable Types:

Universal LightProbeTM Small-aperture Fiber-Optic Probes come in three cable types Regular, Superflex and Rugged
Regular (250) - Most cost efficient. 2 in. minimum bend radius
Superflex (250SF) - Increased flexibilty allows for easier access to difficult to reach LEDs. 1/4 in. minimum bend radius.
Rugged (250R) not pictured below. Extra-durable cable for use in harsh working conditions. 1 in. minimum bend radius.
Only available with 2.7mm dia. tips (27). Part numbers 250R-27-SL-SA and 250R-27-LL-SA
Part Numbers:
There are 5 tip styles in the Small-Aperture Single model available to account for variations in working distance, LED
orientation and accessibility, Short (SL), Long (LL), and Extra-Long (XLL), as well as three Right-Angle options,
12P ( see page 1), Short (RSL) and Long (RLL), for side-emitting LEDs.
