7 Maintenance

Inspecting and Cleaning the SystemInspect and clean the XL Lv system before and after each use with a soft cloth and a 70% alcohol-to-water solution. If using the system in a dirty environment, clean the components more frequently, as needed.

If damage is found, contact GE Sensing and Inspection Technologies for return instructions and anRMA(returnmaterialauthorization)number.Earlydetectionofminorconditionscanpreventcostly repair.

Cleaning Optical TipsDirty optical tip surfaces cause distorted or blurred images. For best image quality, clean the optical tip and camera head frequently.

To clean the probe tip, including the lens on the camera head, use glass cleaner or 70% alcohol-to-watersolutionandapointedcottonswab.Threesurfacesneedcleaning:theheadcan optics, the outside of the tip, and the inside of the tip.

E. Environmental Compliance

The equipment purchased has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment.

In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in the environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage the use of appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of end-life equipment in a sound way.

The cross-out wheeled bin symbol encourages the use of those systems.

If more information is needed on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please contact the appropriate local or regional waste administration.
