5 Configuration and Operating Principle of the ICPE-9000 

 

5-14

5.14 Radial-View Observation Kit (Option) 

This optional unit is installed inside the plasma stand and enables radial-view observation. Switching 

between axial-view observation and radial-view observation is possible from the software. The 
observation points at the top and bottom set in radial-view observation can also be switched from the 
software. At the time of installation, the points 9 and 15 mm (for the optional plasma torch) above the RF 
coil are set but these can be changed with the observation position setting knobs. (Setting range: 7 to 22 
mm.)

WARNING

 

Risk of Burn Injury 

There is a risk of burn injury. When checking the plasma stand, do NOT touch the 
plasma stand interior for 3 minutes after the plasma is extinguished.
