3.2 Connection to the projector
Connect the CAL4-E to your projector by using one of the four adapters with the fiber.
3.3 Starting the system
Use the brackets to place a test chart on the CAL4-E opening and turn on the projector's light source.

3.4 Endoscopy positioning
Please verify that:
•The image height includes the test chart height.
•The lens is precisely in the middle of the test chart
Not fulfilling these requirements will lead to a non-uniform illuminated field of view and might provide
questionable measurement results.
4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
4.1 Care instructions
•Do not touch, scratch, or pollute the diffuser.
•If there is any dust on the diffuser, clean it with an air blower.
•If the fiber is removed from the CAL4-E, the illumination is invalid
•Store and transport the CAL4-E only in the delivered hard case.
4.2 Disposal instructions
After the service life of CAL4-E, it must be disposed of properly. Observe your national regulations and ensure
that CAL4-E cannot be used by third parties after disposing of it.
Contact Image Engineering if assistance for disposal is required.
