General information
Use the User Manual, SAP No.: 1165-216, as additional literature on the VISUCAM lite fundus
camera. You must be familiar with the contents of the user manual to be able to work with the
service instructions.
The service manual mainly covers the defined spare parts and the description of how the most
important components are replaced.
The replacement modules have been chosen in such a way that replacing them should be
possible without a special training. If in-depth work on the unit is necessary, you should attend
the appropriate service training.
The VISUCAM lite fundus camera does not have to be installed by service staff. For this reason,
no Service Report is necessary.
No fastening components are allocated to and supplied with the spare parts. For this reason,
the fastening components provided in the unit must be re-used when modules are replaced.
Caution:

After the unit has been opened, hazardous voltages are accessible. Take the
necessary precautions against the coming into contact with hazardous voltages and
comply with the applicable work instructions.

Cleaning Care and Servicing of the unit

Also see the Care and Maintenance chapter in the user manual.
The unit requires almost no servicing. We recommend having the unit serviced once a year on
the basis of an appropriate support contract.
The points listed in the "System check" chapter represent a work plan which must be completed
when a unit is serviced.
The optical surfaces can be cleaned using an ether-methylated spirits mixture (9:1), a special
optics cleaning mixture (SM-30-8005-32) or methanol.

Adjusting the focus of the finder camera

Switch on VISUCAM lite and start the program (also see the user manual).
Create a test patient file and start the image capture mode.

The finder camera's field of view is visible on the bottom left of the
screen.
Attach a piece of paper displaying centering circles to the headrest.
Adjust brightness as required for observation. Center and focus the
illuminated ring on the centering circles. You can see then structures
of fiber optic.

The rings must be displayed sharply defined. If the rings are

blurred, turn the focusing ring on the finder camera until you have
obtained a sharply defined image.
This completes the mechanical alignment.
Close the camera head (see: Opening

The rings should be centered on the field of view. The shadow (visible at the top of the picture)
should not be larger.
If you detect any deviations, the position of the rings can be adjusted in the x and y directions.
The height and width of the image can be adjusted as required.
Open the Windows Explorer (see: Opening the Windows Explorer).
Click the VISUCAM lite software window to bring it to the front of the screen.
Using the ALT + F4 key combination, close the VISUCAM lite program.

Now the Explorer is visible.

Note: The file VECtrl.ini has to be copied and saved before due any changes in it.

Open the VISUCAM

directory.
Open the VECtrl.ini file.

By changing the values of

the marked positions
(arrows), you can change
both the position and the
size of an image.
Tip: changes in the image
do not become visible until
you change the values by 10
to 20.

Save VECtrl.ini.
Start VISUCAM lite
program by clicking the

VISUCAM directory.
Check the position of the finder camera picture.
If it is necessary, repeat the procedure again.
