Optical Tips - GE XL VU Operating Manual

Getting Started

Optical Tips

Optical tips are attached to the camera head using a double thread. This
prevents unintended departures of optical tips from the probe. Each
optical tip provides a unique depth of field (DOF), field of view (FOV) and
direction of view (DOV). A complete list of available tips is provided in
the Appendix.
Optical Tip Removal
1. Grasp the head of the probe with one hand and gently loosen the tip
counterclockwise with the other hand. The tip has cleared the first
set of threads when it spins freely.
2. Gently pull the tip away from the probe and continue loosening
counterclockwise until the tip is free from the second set of threads.
Optical Tip Installation
1. Ensure the optical tip is clean. Clean if necessary (See Cleaning
Optical Tips).
2. Grasp the head of the probe with one hand and gently turn the tip
clockwise with the other hand. The tip has cleared the first set of
threads when it spins freely and then seats with gentle force applied.
3. Gently push the tip onto the probe and continue turning clockwise on
the second set of threads until the tip is attached finger tight. Do not
over tighten. Pull gently on the tip to ensure proper attachment to
the probe.
NOTE: Never use tools or excessive force to install or remove an
optical tip.
