WARNING: DO NOT PLUG IN THE CENTRAL UNIT UNTIL THE PHOROPTOR VRX SYSTEM IS FULLY SETUP.
The basic system setup contains three components programmed to interact with each other: the
Phoroptor Head, the Central Unit, and the Controller. The Central Unit directs communication between
the Phoroptor Head, Controller, and other pre-test devices, while the Controller acts as the user interface
and controls the Phoroptor Head and the Input/Output of data.
The Phoroptor VRx is also designed to communicate with Reichert and other manufacturers acuity systems.
External devices, including digital acuity systems, projectors, Lensmeters, Auto Refractors, printers, and
computers are connected using serial cables or Bluetooth wireless serial adapters.
Note: Ensure that the pre-test equipment being interfaced is compatible. Refer to Appendix A for a
complete list of external devices that communicate with the Phoroptor VRx.
Please refer to the Connection Diagram below for plug and cable layout.
