The TomoScan FOCUS LT uses phased array and conventional ultrasound to perform nondestructive inspections. It is designed to be controlled using the TomoView software, which can manage up to three TomoScan FOCUS LT instruments in parallel. Key Features TomoScan FOCUS LT instrument’s key features include:...
This chapter describes the front and back panels of the TomoScan FOCUS LT. Front Panel Description Figure 1-1 on page 16 shows the front panel of the TomoScan FOCUS LT. This panel enables the user to perform the following: •...
This connector provides a power supply voltage of ±12 VDC rated at 1 A for external devices. DC IN This connector allows the TomoScan FOCUS LT to be supplied from a DC power source. The connector accepts voltages in the range of 15 VDC to 24 VDC, DC IN rated at 5 A.
Page 23
DMTA041-01EN [U8778479], Rev. C, May 2014 When this indicator light is off, it indicates that the conventional ultrasound mode is disabled. The 15 V to 24 V requirement is the voltage needed at the connector site. The DC IN length of the cable has an impact on the power supply’s nominal value. For example, with a nominal value of 15 V and 30 meters of cable, the voltage at the connector site could be lower than 14 V, which is too low for the instrument to start up.

DMTA041-01EN [U8778479], Rev. C, May 2014 defective and requires servicing. If the input voltage is found to be within limits, see “Technical Support” on page 11. If both the AC and DC sources are connected and powered, the instrument automatically operates from the AC input and the DC input is disabled. STBY The letters stand for standby.

Fuse and fuse holder • A fuse holder contains the instrument main fuse. This fuse is used to protect the TomoScan FOCUS LT from an external power surge or from an internal short circuit. • The fuse holder also contains a spare fuse in a small compartment if a fuse replacement is required (for details, see chapter “Maintenance and...
Page 28
Using fuses that are not recommended can cause a fire hazard. External ground ( ) This ground terminal can be used to ground the TomoScan FOCUS LT using an external wire. This terminal is very useful for certain inspections when it is recommended to ground the instrument with the part under inspection.
Protective bumpers Figure 1-4 Protective bumpers of the back panel Do not leave the TomoScan FOCUS LT vertical on the bumpers of the back panel, because the high center of gravity could make it unstable and likely to fall over.

DMTA041-01EN [U8778479], Rev. C, May 2014 2. System Installation This chapter explains the procedures for installing the TomoScan FOCUS LT and for connecting the system components and peripherals to the main instrument. Standard Equipment The packing list should include the following items: •...
5 cm (2 in.) to allow for heat dissipation. Do not leave the TomoScan FOCUS LT vertical on the bumpers of the back panel, because the high center of gravity could make it unstable and likely to fall over.
The instrument must be connected according to the manufacturer’s instructions in order to prevent risk of electric shock. The TomoScan FOCUS LT must always be completely inserted into its housing and the front panel screws properly tightened in order to ensure proper grounding of the instrument.
When using a DC power source, connect the power cord to the connector of DC IN the TomoScan FOCUS LT front panel. Connect the other end of the power cord to a suitable DC power source. Turn on the TomoScan FOCUS LT by pressing the front panel on/off switch.
2.5.1 Auto-Boot on AC Power Use the auto-boot on AC power mode to remotely turn on a TomoScan FOCUS LT from an AC power source. When this mode is enabled, you do not need to press the front-panel on/off switch ( ) to start the TomoScan FOCUS LT.
Use the auto-UT mode to define the state of the button on the front panel when UT ON AC or DC power is applied to the TomoScan FOCUS LT. The mode is disabled by default. To toggle the state of the auto-UT mode Turn off the TomoScan FOCUS LT instrument and disconnect the power cord.
FOCUS LT is controlled by a computer called the Workstation. This workstation controls the acquisition process and analyzes the ultrasonic data collected by the instrument. Hardware Configuration Figure 3-1 on page 31 shows the hardware architecture of the TomoScan FOCUS LT. 100BASE-T TomoScan FOCUS LT 2 quadrature-type position...
Control the acquisition and receive data from the TomoScan FOCUS LT through an Ethernet link • Process and display UT data collected by the TomoScan FOCUS LT for analysis • Save the UT acquisition data acquired during an inspection on files stored on...
Once booted, the internal RPC (remote procedure call) server of the TomoScan FOCUS LT connects to the workstation (that is, the client) through the Ethernet network. For more details on installing and using the acquisition software relating to the TomoScan FOCUS LT, refer to the TomoView Reference Manual.

Instrument Cleaning The external surfaces of the TomoScan FOCUS LT, that is, the housing and the front panel, can be cleaned when needed. This section provides the procedure for the appropriate cleaning of the instrument.
Maintenance of the Fan Filters The TomoScan FOCUS LT is equipped with two cooling fans that are located on the back panel. Filters, located on the vent inlets, remove dust particles from the air drawn in by each fan. To allow sufficient airflow, the filters must be periodically cleaned and changed;...
Using a compressed-air jet, clean the filter on both sides. Place the filter back in the appropriate position. Screw the four knurled screws back into place. Figure 4-1 Fan filter removed from the TomoScan FOCUS LT 4.3.2 Changing the Fan Filters...
The fuse in the power entry module is used only when the TomoScan FOCUS LT is powered by an AC source. When using a DC power source, overload protection is provided by internal voltage limiters inside the instrument.
Reinsert the fuse holder. The fuse is now replaced, and the TomoScan FOCUS LT should be ready for operation. If the instrument still does not operate after the fuse replacement, refer to a qualified technician.
Troubleshooting This section will help you solve minor problems that could occur during the operation of your TomoScan FOCUS LT. Olympus has developed this troubleshooting guide assuming that the instrument has not been modified, and that the cables and connectors are those provided and suggested by Olympus.
