1. Introduction

The OPTIM Incorporated FreedomView® SD LED Fiberscope Inspection Kit is a simple, nondestructive visual
inspection system. It enables the user to observe inaccessible, interior portions of structures in a wide variety of
applications.

This fiber optic viewing instrument is constructed of high quality, durable materials and is desig ned for simplified
integrations with complimentary components.

Read this manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with all components prior to the first use. The manual contains
care and handling information which will help extend the life of the instrument.

NOTE: Read this manual completely.

All WARNINGS and CAUTIONS are printed in BOLD LETTERS.

2. Fiberscope Description

Control Body:
Eyepiece: The eyepiece allows the user to visualize the image directly or to connect a standard video camera, still

photography system, or teaching attachment to the endoscope. The eyepiece is compatible with most C-mount
adapters and video camera systems. Call OPTIM Incorporated at +1.508.347.5100 or 800.225.7486 for information
on video adapters, cameras, processors and monitors.

Focus Ring: The focus ring adjusts the image to the user’s eyesight. Adjust the focus by rotating the Focus Ring
(also known as the Diopter Adjustment Ring) clockwise or counterclockwise until the fiber pattern is in clear focus.

Diopter Markings: If using a video camera, still photography system, or teaching attachment, the white dot on the
Control Body must be aligned with the white dot on the Focus Ring (Diopter Adjustment Ring). The colored lines
provide reference markers for various users of the same endoscope.

Articulation Lever: The articulation lever controls the angular deflection of the Distal Tip.
Light Switch Lever: The light switch lever controls the on / off and intensity of light output. Moving the lever

towards the wider end of the intensity indicator increases the light intensity; moving the lever towards the narrower
end of the intensity indicator decreases the light intensity.

Battery Door: The battery door seals the battery and electronics wi thin the control body.

3. Operating the FreedomView® SD LED Fiberscope Inspection Kit

• Hold the fiberscope so that the control body fits comfortably in one hand, allowing easy manipulation of the
articulation lever with the thumb. Use the other hand to manipulate the Insertion Tube of the fiberscope.

CAUTION: Avoid excessive bending or twisting of the fiberscope insertion shaft. While designed to
bend, excessive pressure can damage the fibers and internal components. Do not manually bend the
distal tip; always use the articulation lever to articulate the tip up or down.

• When using a video camera or still photography system, be sure the white dot on the Control Body is
aligned with the white dot on the Focus Ring.

• Turn on the light by rotating the lever on the side of the Control Body near the Articulation Lever. Adjust the
brightness to the desired level by the rotating lever.

• At the completion of the inspection, remove the fiberscope under direct visualization and with the
Articulation Lever in the neutral position.

SAFETY RULES

1. Do not attempt to use this device for any application in which the operator is untrained or unfamiliar.

2. Do not tamper with the power supply.

3. Provide adequate ventilation for the battery charger to prevent overheating.

4. Avoid damage to the power cords. Never carry the scope or charger by the cord. Keep the power cords
away from heat, extreme cold, oil, solvents and sharp edges.

5. The handle assembly contains electrical components. DO NOT use in an explosive environm ent. DO
NOT immerse or expose the handle assembly to liquids of any type.

6. The high intensity light at the tip of the scope is extremely bright. To minimize the risk of injury, avoid
direct viewing of the light.

When illumination is not required, even for short intervals, turn the light source power off. This will extend battery life
and reduce heat build up.

FIBERSCOPE

Before proceeding with your internal inspection, obtain a sample or cut-away section of the item to be
inspected. Practice the inspection several times outside the object. Familiarize yourself with the operating
characteristics of the FreedomView
observations. It is not uncommon to experience difficulty in positioning the objective end of the LED
Fiberscope during initial inspections.

A. Focusing the FreedomView

FreedomView

®

LED Fiberscope has two distinct features involved in focus.

1. Diopter Adjustment within the Eyepiece:
The diopter adjustment allows an operator to focus the eyepiece. Rotate the diopter ring, in
either direction, for desired focus.

2. Objective or Target End of the LED Fiberscope:
The objective end of the FreedomView
with a fixed range (Please refer to Specifications Section 7).

The optimal image focal distance (Please refer to Specifications Section 7). The lens system is capable of
imaging targets as far away as fifteen (15) feet. Target magnification is determined by the objective lenses
field of view and distance from the target. The FreedomView
(1:1) magnification ratio at 25mm (1 inch) from the target. Moving the Fiberscope’s objective end closer to
the target increases target image size. Moving it away from the target decreases target image size.
