Light intensity is low
Foreign material or film on HLS
window or attached endoscope.
Clean window with a cotton swab wet with isopropyl
alcohol until the debris or film is cleared off. Dry with
compressed air or gas.
Light source becomes hot after
prolonged use at full power.
Light source has been left on for more
than 30 minutes at full power.
Turn the light source to a lower intensity setting if the
examination must continue past 30 minutes. Or, turn the
light source off for a few minutes to permit adequate
cool down of the light source body.
Note:
The standard light guide post consists of a snap-
ring groove for an ACMI fitting connection, a Wolf
adapter thread, and a Storz adapter thread. The HLS
attaches to the Storz adapter thread if marked
“
UNIVERSAL
” or the ACMI if marked “
ACMI
”. If an
adapter sleeve (see Figure 8 below) is installed on the
light guide post, it must be removed prior to connecting
the HLS. Unscrew the adapter sleeve to remove it if it
is present. If the HLS is equipped with the Wolf Scope
Adapter, it will fit the wolf style light post.
