Optical Tip - GE XL Lv Manual

Optical Tips
Optical tips are attached to the insertion tube 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 wit 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.
