6. SETUP AND OPERATION
6.1 Device Setup
Place the Illuminator on a stable surface such as a cart, counter, stand, etc.
WARNING: DO NOT use the device in any environment with explosive or flammable gases.
WARNING: Avoid placing the device in an area where the illuminator may be splashed with liquids. A
clear space minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) behind and above the cabinet is required. The illuminator
should not be placed where its exhaust will influence other devices, nor where exhaust from other
devices will influence the illuminator.
WARNING: DO NOT obstruct the exhaust or cooling vents of the illuminator. User must ensure that
environment air temperatures surrounding the unit are within the allowable limits.
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position.
Ensure that the lamp is properly positioned for use. Open the lamp compartment door. Move
the lamp positioning lever (found to the right of the lamp) clockwise, from horizontal to vertical. As
the positioning cones disengage the lamp should drop about 3mm. Move the lamp positioning
lever counterclockwise to reengage the positioning cones and observe that the lamp rises about
3mm as it returns to operating position.
Close the lamp compartment door.
Connect AC power cord to the power inlet located on the rear panel of the illuminator. Ensure the
power cord is completely seated into the power inlet and engage the cord retainer if so equipped.
CAUTION: Use only power cords provided with the unit or cables approved for medical use.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock, connect power cords of peripheral equipment through medical
isolation transformers.
NOTE: When using a medical isolation transformer, ensure that the transformer has sufficient power
ratings. Ensure that the power cord is connected to mains power with a three-prong plug.
Connect a fiberoptic light guide to the topmost position of the rotating turret, ensuring that the fiberoptic
end tip type matches the accepting port. There may be slight resistance upon insertion from the autoshutter
mechanism. This is normal.
