Warning and Precautions
DIRECT VIEWING OF EXITING LIGHT CAN BE HARMFUL!
The light at the front of the light source and at the tip of a connected fiber-optic bundle is of high intensity and can result in very high temperatures. To minimize the risk of injury, avoid direct viewing of the light or contact with surrounding surfaces. Light includes UV wavelengths which may cause skin or eye irritation from direct exposures exceeding 15 min./day.
TO PREVENT TEMPORARY BLINDING and contact with heated parts, always plug the fiber optic bundle into the light source before turning the power on.
ALWAYS PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION to prevent overheating. Do not cover the light source or place the unit within 7.62 cm (3 in.) of a solid object.
DURING OPERATION, THE LAMP SHOULD BE ENCLOSED in the light source to prevent injury in the occasional circumstance of the lamp shattering.
USE CAUTION WHEN REPLACING LAMP. Allow lamp to cool. Use only GE Inspection Technologies replacement lamp #SPL-600. For optimum performance, avoid handling the bulb or reflector. Fingerprints or other contami­nants on the glass may result in performance degradation.
DO NOT SWITCH THE LIGHT SOURCE ON AND OFF IN RAPID SUCCESSION. Doing so will dramatically shorten lamp life. After turning off, wait 15 seconds before turning on again.
The supplied detachable power cord is the means of disconnect from the power source.

AVERTISSEMENTS ET PRECAUTIONS
L’intensité lumineuse du générateur de lumière et à l’extrémité du guide de lumière, induit unc température élevée et une forte luminosité. Pour minimiser les risques de blessures, éviter tout contact direct avec les yeux et la peau.
Afin d’empêcher un aveuglement temporaire et toute brûlure, ilest recommandé de con­necter le guide de lumière au générateur avant la mise en marche de ce dernier.
Ne pas allumer et éteindre le générateur de lumière successivement. Ceci réduirait con­sidérablement la durée de vie de la lampe. Après l’avoir éteint patienter 10 à 15 seconds avant de le remettre en marche.
ATTENTION:
utiliser une ventilation adéquate pour éviter toute surchauffe du générateur. Si vous le sortez de sa sacoche : ne pas l’envelopper dans un tissu et ne pas le placer à moins de 8 cm de tout objet.
PRECAUTIONS:
à prendre lors du remplacement de la lampe : laisser la lampe refroidir. Utiliser la lampe GE Inspection Technologies Réf: #SPL-600.

ELSV-60 Light Source 5
System Description
The ELSV-60 Hi-Lux Light Source provides high quality, white light for industrial borescope and fiberscope inspections. It incorporates a patented and field-proven lamp technology that has much greater efficiency than halogen or xenon lamps when transferring light into a small fiber bundle, such as that found in borescopes and fiberscopes. This greater efficiency allows the lamp to run at only 60W, which then enables a small and lightweight light source design. The high efficiency also enables the light source to provide high intensity light without getting very hot, which is an advantage in user safety.
Video inspections are also easy with the ELSV-60. A special video channel makes setup and operation with our BCAM 1000 C-Mount Camera simple. A single cable connection provides power to the camera and carries the video signal from the camera back to the light source. Video outputs carry the signal to a monitor or other video peripheral devices for image display and/or recording.

System Setup and Operation
CAUTION:
1. Verify that the supply voltage is within the 100-240VAC range specified for this product.
2. To prevent temporary blinding, insert light guide into socket before turning power ON.
3. The light guide tip and light source socket will be hot when light guide is removed.
CONTROLS & PORTS
ON/OFF Switch
A two position rocker switch is used to turn the unit on or off. Depressing the side marked with a ( I ) turns the unit on, while depressing the side marked with an ( £ ) turns it off.
Light Intensity Control Knob
This knob on the front panel rotates to adjust the amount of light transferred into the light guide. Rotating the ring clockwise will increase the amount of light in the image and rotating the ring counter clockwise will decrease the amount of light. This manual control is helpful when trying to better illuminate one part of the image or when trying to reduce blooming.
Light Exit/Light Guide Socket
Socket will accept Olympus style adapter.
Video-In Camera Port
When using a borescope with the BCAM C-Mount Camera, the BCAM power/video cable con­nects to the light source here. It carries power from the light source to the camera, and brings the camera video back to the light source video channel. It can not be used with cameras other than the BCAM.
Video-Out Ports
When using a borescope with the BCAM C-Mount Camera, the camera video is accessed at either of these ports. Connect either an S-Video or composite BNC cable from the appropri­ate output port to a monitor for display, or other peripheral device for recording.

System Setup and Operation (continued)
Setup
1. With the power switch in the OFF position, plug the AC power cord into the power input port on the back of the unit and then into a grounded receptacle.
2. Plug a light guide with appropriate adapter installed into the light exit socket.
Note: The light guide is fully inserted when the light guide spring snaps into the
groove cut into the socket.
3. Turn the power switch ON and wait 15 seconds for the lamp to complete the warm-up cycle.
Note: If the power has just been turned OFF, allow 15 seconds for complete discharge
before turning ON again.
4. Set the light intensity to the desired level by turning the Light Intensity Control Knob.
