Inspecting and Cleaning the System
Inspect and clean the XLG3 system before and after each use. If using the system in a
dirty environment, clean the components more frequently as needed.
If images are distorted or blurred within normal range, and if the optical tip is securely
threaded, the most likely problem is dirty optical surfaces. For best image quality, clean
the optical tip and camera head frequently.
If you discover conditions that require evaluation or repair, return the system to
GE Inspection Technologies. Early repair of minor conditions can prevent much more
costly repair.
To Inspect and Clean an Optical Tip
1. Check the optical tip for damage or contamination.
2. Clean all external parts of the optical tip. Use glass cleaner or 70% alcohol-to-water
solution and a pointed cotton swab.
3. Clean only the internal threads of the optical tip. The internal optical lens should only
be cleaned when troubleshooting an optical tip that provides poor focus.
Caution Do not immerse or soak the handset or the probe power plug.
Caution The internal optical lens is surrounded by an o-ring. Use care not to
dislodge the o-ring.
Caution For 3D phase measurement optical tips, do not use a cotton swab to
clean the inside of the tip or damage to the tip may occur.
