JOIMAX D-CAMSOURCE (01) PDF Document

The delivery for the JOIMAX D-CAMSOURCE includes the following items:

• 1 Control unit with integrated light source

• 1 Camera head

• 1 Camera light cable

• 1 60 W Solarc-HDI lamp

• 1 Power cable

• 1 FBAS connection cable

• 1 Y/C connection cable

• 1 User manual

Before turning on the unit, ensure that all cables are properly connected and the correct Power Input is adjusted.

1. Remove the device from its packaging. Before starting, connect all cables and assemble the unit.

2. Connect the Y/C and/or FBAS cable into the correspondingly marked ports on the back of the control unit and connect it to the monitor. Using the Y/C port will increase picture quality.

3. Connect the cable with a suitable ground.

4. Connect the connection cable of the camera head and the lighting cable to the front of the control unit. Ensure the plug is in the correct position (align the red point on the plug and bush) and the locking socket is engaged forwards.

5. To disconnect the plug, the locking socket must be pushed backwards to unplug the locking device.

6. Plug the power cable into the JOIMAX D-CAMSOURCE. Use the power cable supplied.

7. Turn on the camera, light source, and monitor (the power switch is located on the back).

1. Move back the locking device ring, while holding the camera head by hand.

2. Insert the optic with minimal pressure into the locking device of the adapter. Then release the locking device ring and install the optic with increased pressure until the locking device engages audibly.

3. To withdraw the optic, move back the locking device ring and simultaneously draw out the adapter, while holding the camera head by hand.

After the main plug has been put in and the power supply switched on (on the back), the unit starts up in stand-by mode, showing a circulating light. Press the power switch on the front panel to put the unit into operation. By pressing the power switch again, the unit returns to the stand-by mode.

A white balance is necessary to guarantee optimal and natural color reproduction, especially after changing an endoscope. To obtain an optimal color reproduction, a white balance is necessary after each change of endoscope.

The half automatic white balance has to be made as follows:

• Put the unit into operating condition.

• Adapt the endoscope to the scop-coupler.

• The endoscopic picture has to be brought into focus on a white object, keeping a distance of approx. 2 to 5 cm between the distal end of an endoscope and the white surface.

• Press the key “white balance” shortly until the LED shines. The monitor will show the color reproduction conforming to the original white color.

• After approx. 4 seconds the LED goes out and the white balance is finished. The color reproduction thus installed remains until a new white balance is made.

To find the optimal “white point,” it may be helpful to slightly vary the distance between the distal end of the endoscope and the white object.

To guarantee an optimum of brightness control, a so-called window can be opened with the window-key. The manufacturer installs this window in a way that an optimum of picture quality is realized.

Aperture

To adjust the contrast individually, you can vary the depth of focus with Aperture + and -. The contrast thus installed remains until a new focusing is made.

Brightness

In order to adjust the brightness individually, you can use the brightness + and – keys. This brightness remains until a new focusing is made.

If the unit is in operation, the lamp can be switched on by pressing the light key. Please wait approx. 1 minute to allow the lamp to obtain the necessary color temperature. If the lamp is put out, the signal still shines for approx. 30 seconds. During this time, the lamp cannot be switched on because it has to cool off. Thereafter, the lamp can be switched on again.

Caution: Before replacing a damaged lamp, the power cord must be unplugged, and the lamp and light insertion must be cooled off.

Change of lamp as follows:

• Turn the unit off.

• Unplug the unit.

• Open the locking device by turning it to the left.

• Pull out the insertion up to the stop from the front.

Do not touch the inside of the reflector lamp!

• Put the new lamp into the holding device downwards. The marking of the lamp located on the reflector box must show upwards and fit in the recess of the holding device.

• Connect the plugs with the lamp contacts.

• Return the light insertion into the box and close the locking screw by turning right.

Caution: Use only lamps of the following specification: (Solarc-HDI Lamp AL5060 W.A-AL50/60, delivered by joimax® GmbH)

WARNING! Before cleaning or disinfecting the unit, it must be turned off, unplugged, and disconnected from any other units under electric current.

Control Unit

The smooth surfaces on the front side of the control unit can be cleaned carefully with a mild disinfectant cleaner and a soft cloth. Make sure that no fluid enters the control unit.

Cable with integrated camera head and scop-coupler

To clean the control unit, remove the camera and lighting cable. Clean the camera head, coupler, and cable only with a disinfecting fluid. The dirty surface of the scop-coupler can be cleaned carefully with an alcoholic wadding. Never use sharp-edged objects for cleaning!

• Do not clean the camera head by supersonic.

• Do not sterilize the camera head by an autoclave or with plasma.

The use of a sterile disposable unit protection is necessary.

If there is no picture, check the following:

• Is the monitor and camera turned on?

• Check the Control Monitor Screen set-up.

• Is the video cable properly connected?

• Check the cable connection of the camera head and the control unit.

• Check fuses.

If the picture is dark or out-of-focus, check the following:

• Check the scop-coupler.

• Check if the optic or camera head is foggy.

• Check monitor controls.

If the picture shows unnatural colors, try the following:

• Perform a white balance.

• Adjust the monitor colors.
