Maintenance of your Optec 5000PG
Stereo Optical's Optec 5000PG Vision Tester is designed to minimize maintenance. All bearings and internal
mechanisms have been sealed at the factory. It has been engineered and built for a lifetime of use. The only annual
maintenance required is simple and does not necessitate a service call. The only components requiring occasional
maintenance are:
Eyepiece Lenses: The external side of these lenses needs to be cleaned occasionally. Care should be taken not to use
any abrasive material on these lenses. Use the cleaner supplied with the Vision Tester, or plain soap and water can be
substituted. It is important to dry the lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Cleaning of Slides: Open the rear door, and use a damp, soft, lint free cloth with lens cleaner and wipe the slide. Turn
the dial and go on to the next slide repeating the same procedure. Note: Always unplug the tester before opening the
back door and accessing the slides.
Replacement of the Slides: The slide drum assembly holds up to 12 slides and can be easily accessed through the rear
door. To replace a slide, rotate the dial until the number of the slide to be removed is under the YELLOW indicator.
Open rear door, remove slide on top of drum by rotating clips toward each other until they clear the slide. Remove
unwanted slide. Insert new with label showing and arrow pointing away from you; return spring clips to their former
positions to secure slide. Close the instrument door and you are again ready for operation.
Control Panel Removal: The panel is designed with reliable solid state components. The modular design allows quick
segmentation from the rest of the instrument. If a problem is diagnosed here, contact Stereo Optical's repair department
at-1-800-344-9500 or in Illinois at 1-773-867-0380.
Exterior: The plastic, of which the instrument body and base are made, is similar to your telephone and can be cleaned
in the same manner. Use damp, clean cloth and a mild detergent. A dust cover is provided for dust protection and to
discourage tampering when instrument is not in use. An eight-foot power cord can be disconnected to discourage
tampering as well.
Inside Mirror: Behind the rear door you will find a front-surface mirror. Handle the mirror with care and avoid placing
fingers on its surface. We recommend using the cleaner supplied with the instrument along with a damp, soft, lint-free
cloth. DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE THREE SCREWS SURROUNDING THE MIRROR. The mirror has been carefully
aligned to achieve precise light reflections and any tampering will require factory adjustment.
