Attaching the stereo optical adapter
See also “3.6 Inspecting the optical adapter” (page 35) for more information on
attaching stereo optical adapters.
1
Make sure that the O-ring in the insertion tube distal end or in the
optical adapter is properly attached.
NOTE
•
See “Inspecting the O-ring” (page 33) for information on how to check the O-ring.
2
Attach the adapter so that there is no movement of the adapter
main body. Rotate the optical adapter in the direction of the arrow A
shown in the figure. Keep the adapter rotated completely and turn
the nut of the optical adapter in the direction of the arrow B shown
in the figure until it is tight.
CAUTION
•
Tools or excessive hand force should not be used to secure the tip adapter to the distal end.
•
Whether or not the adapter rattles or is loose when it is attached, if it is not firmly attached by
rotating in the direction of arrow A completely, the measurement accuracy deteriorates.
•
After installation of the optical adapter, if the distal end of the insertion tube is handled by
grasping the optical adapter, it may turn in the opposite direction of arrow A in the figure even
when the nut is tightened securely. This could result in lowered measurement accuracy.
When handling the distal end of the insertion tube, do not hold it by the optical adapter,
always grasp the insertion tube. However, do not hold it by the angulation section.
•
When the distal end of the insertion tube is subjected to a large extraneous force or vibration,
the optical adapter installation may be jolted, loosened or turned. Even if you leave the
optical adapter attached to the insertion tube, always check the installation condition before
inserting the insertion tube into the subject.
