ULTRASONIC BRONCHOFIBERVIDEOSCOPE BF-UC180F
Attaching the water-resistant caps
• The ultrasonic connector and the electrical connector of the
endoscope are not waterproof. Before immersing or leakage
testing the endoscope, always attach the water-resistant
caps. Otherwise, equipment damage may result.
• If the exterior of the ultrasonic connector and/or the electrical
connector is scratched, the connector may no longer be
waterproof and the seal inside the water-resistant cap may
become scratched. If the ultrasonic connector or the
electrical connector is scratched, contact Olympus.
• Never immerse the water-resistant caps unless they are
attached to the endoscope. Water remaining inside the
water-resistant caps can be transferred to and damage the
ultrasonic connector and/or the electrical connector.
• Always use a dry water-resistant cap. Any water remaining
on the water-resistant cap may cause damage to the
endoscope, maintenance unit or light source.
1. Confirm that the inside of the water-resistant cap is dry and free from debris.
Wipe with a dry lint-free clean cloth if the inside of the water-resistant cap is
wet or there is debris.
2. Align the EW character (see Figure 7.17 (a) and Figure 7.18 (a)) on the
water-resistant caps with mark 2 on the electrical connector housing and the
ultrasonic connector housing. When using a manual disinfector, align the
KC/TD character (see Figure 7.17 (b) and Figure 7.18 (b)) on the
water-resistant caps with mark 2 on the electrical connector housing and the
ultrasonic connector housing.
3. Align the pin on the electrical connector and the ultrasonic connector with
the grooves on the water-resistant caps.
4. Push the water-resistant caps into position and rotate each of them
clockwise until they stop (approximately 45).
