1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Galiso OPTI-LITE has been designed to provide a consistent, intense white light for
internal inspections of cylinders. A wide variety of Light Guides are available allowing for
a wide variety of lengths and output of light strength.
The light source provides up to 150 watts of radiometric output from a 21 volt tungsten
halogen lamp. The adjustable voltage supply governs output from 0 to 21 VAC. The
light source is CSA listed to UL-1571 (120 V version).
The updated OPTI-LITE features an ergonomic Handle, a Nosepiece Adapter with
locking design to keep Light Guides steady, and Intensity Control from 0-100 %.
Additional Nosepiece Adapters are available to provide capabilities of numerous
diameter Light Guides.
The OPTI-LITE light box also has a high output fan, lamp baffle, and unique Nosepiece
design to provide maximum airflow while restricting stray light from heating outer
surfaces.
This innovative design allows quick, and user-friendly, replacement of the Lamp. See
section 5.1, Lamp Replacement for more information on Lamp replacement.

2.0 SAFETY
Read all instructions before attempting to install or operate this machine. GALISO,
INCORPORATED IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE OR INJURY CAUSED BY
UNSAFE USE, MAINTENANCE, APPLICATION, MODIFICATION OR IMPROPER
INSTALLATION OF THIS MACHINE. Please contact Galiso, Inc. at [phone] for
guidance when you are in doubt as to the proper safety precautions to be taken when
installing or operating this machine.
2.1 General Safety
!WARNING!
Damage to eyesight will occur by looking directly into the Fiber Optic Port or
Light Guide when the power is on. NEVER look directly into the Light Guide or
the Lamp when they are lit.
A. Do not use this unit near water or in an area with excessive water.
B. Do not place flammable materials near the unit. This unit should not be used
near flammable gases!
C. This unit may generate and transmit and/or radiate electromagnetic energy. Do
not place the device next to other sensitive electronic devices. Failure to do so
could result in errant operation of the nearby device.
D. Avoid using or storing the OPTI-LITE in, or on, areas of excessive vibration.
Vibration of the lamp could cause shortening of the life of the Lamp.
E. Do not operate the unit without mounting feet in place. If the mounting feet are
removed, air vents will be blocked.
Notice: Improper ventilation of the OPTI-LITE can cause intermittent operation
and/or failure of the electronics.
F. Do not block ventilation openings on the unit. Do not impede airflow. Always
be certain that the OPTI-LITE has proper clearance of the unit to allow for
ventilation to prevent overheating (see Assembly Sec. 3.0, for accurate
clearance requirements).
CAUTION:
Dust accumulation will restrict air flow which can cause damage the unit. (See
maintenance section for cleaning recommendations.)
G. Do not use unapproved Fiber Optic Light Guides (such as any form of plastic
fibers), as they may not be suitable for the high temperatures generated by the
focused beam of high intensity light and could cause a fire.

2.0 SAFETY, continued
2.1 General Safety, continued
H. Always turn off and unplug the unit for a minimum of 15 minutes before
attempting to open the Lamp Replacement Door. Never operate the unit with the
Lamp Replacement Door removed.
I. Do NOT touch the reflecting surface of the Lamp at any time. Oils from skin can
cause “hot spots” that will reduce the life of the Lamp.
!DANGER!
High voltage is present internally. This unit contains potentially lethal voltages!
Observe all safety procedures set forth in this manual. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury or death.
J. Do not direct wire for power or use any other power cord. Only use the 3-Prong,
grounding power cord, supplied with the unit. Route cord so that it will not be
pinched, severed or walked upon.
K. In the event of loss of power, the OPTI-LITE will remain off when power is
restored to the unit. When power is returned, turn the Intensity Knob to OFF and
then slowly turn up intensity until light is returned.
L. Do not defeat the purpose of the fuses. Replace only if necessary and only
replace with the fuse type described in Maintenance Section 5 - 1, or as marked
on the unit.
M. Take care when removing the Light Guide from the Opti-Lite. The Lamp and
surrounding surface may be hot or warm to the touch.
N. Do not attempt servicing the unit beyond the procedures described in this
manual.
O. Use only approved parts (Lamps, Fuses, Light Guides, etc)! Failure to do so
could result in malfunction and/or fire. Do not make any technical modifications
to the unit.
P. If liquid spills on the unit, do not operate and immediately remove power to the
machine. Allow to thoroughly dry before plugging in and operating.
Q. To disconnect the Power Cord, always grasp the cord itself – never pull the
cord/wires as this can cause internal damage to the cord.

3.0 ASSEMBLY
Read all instructions and familiarize yourself with the safety, assembly, and operation
procedures before assembling or operating the OPTI-LITE.
3.1 Receiving and Placement
A. Select a space for the assembly and operation of the OPTI-LITE. The location of
the machine should allow adequate clearance for ventilation (see Table 3-1
below, Minimum Clearance). Make certain that the mounting feet are on the
bottom of the illuminator box. The location selected should be an area that does
not have excessive vibration. The location should also be away from any
flammable items or gases.

Table 3-1, Minimum Clearance
B. Ensure the Lamp has not been dislodged from the Lamp Holder during shipment
by opening up the Lamp Replacement Door, and visually inspecting the Lamp.
The Lamp should fit symmetrically within the Lamp Holder.
C. Loosen the Locking Thumb Screws counter-clockwise to allowing the Light
Guide to be inserted into the Nosepiece.
D. Insert either end of the Light Guide into the Nosepiece on the Illuminator Box
and retighten the Locking Thumb Screws. Do not over tighten the Locking
Thumb Screws, only “hand-tight”, is necessary.
E. Make sure the Intensity Control Knob is in the OFF position.
F. Plug the Power Cord into the Illuminator Box and into the appropriate voltage
wall outlet. The OPTI-LITE is now ready for operation.
If at any time, during assembly or operation, a question should arise call or contact
Galiso, Inc. at [phone] or online at www.galiso.com

4.0 OPTI-LITE OPERATIONS
4.1 Operation
A. Once the Light Guide has been inserted and Illuminator box is plugged in,
turn the ON/Off Intensity Control Knob to power on.
B. NOTICE: When switching on a cold Illuminator Box, leave the intensity control
at low intensity for a minimum of ten seconds before increasing to full
intensity. This will allow the Lamp to warm-up, helping to extend the Lamp
life. After using the OPTI-LITE, return Intensity Control Knob to low and allow
a cool down time of one to two minutes before turning the unit off.
C. After the above steps have been performed, the Light Guide can be inserted
into the cylinder neck to proceed with inspections. Always avoid looking
directly into the Light Guide once the unit has been turned on.
4.2 Intensity
A. Although halogen lamps are an inexpensive and effective light source, they
can degrade by an average of 15% over the lifetime of the lamp. Furthermore,
new lamps of the same brand and model number may vary +/- 20% in
maximum intensity, depending on the batch.
B. Under normal conditions, lamp manufacturers recommend halogen lamps be
operated above 80% of their rated intensity for optimum and stable lamp
performance.
