VISERA XENON LIGHT SOURCE CLV-S40
• Be sure to remove the orange tape from the lamp life meter
(see Figure 3.1 on page 20). If the tape is attached, the lamp
life meter will not work.
• The lamp life meter is not active when the light source is
OFF.
4.3 Inspection of illumination
Do not look directly into the distal end of the endoscope or
the output connector of the light source while they are
emitting light. Eye damage may result.
1. Turn the light source ON.
2. Make sure that the surface of the light guide cable connected to a rigid
endoscope, fiberscope or videoscope is not dirty.
3. Insert the light guide connector into the output connector on the front panel
of the light source until it stops.
4. Confirm that the lamp is illuminated and that light is emitted from the
endoscope’s distal end as shown below (see Figure 4.5).
Figure 4.5
• When the power switch is turned ON, the light source automatically
attempts to ignite the xenon lamp for up to about 5 seconds. If the xenon
lamp fails to ignite, expiration of the lamp’s lifetime or improper mounting
of the lamp may be suspected. Replace the lamp according to the
instructions given in Chapter 6, “Lamp Replacement”.
