Safety
ELTROTEC Panoramascope
1. Safety
The operation of the system requires knowledge of the instruction manual.
1.1 Symbols Used
The following symbols are used in this instruction manual.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which can result in serious or fatal injuries if not
avoided.
CAUTION Indicates a hazardous situation which results in minor or moderate injuries if not
avoided.
NOTICE
Indicates a situation which may result in property damage if not avoided.
Indicates a user action.
iIndicates a user tip.
1.2 Warnings
The probe is electrically conductive. Avoid contact with live parts.
> Death by electric shock
> Danger of injury
Never look directly into the aperture of the endoscope or into the optical fiber if these are connected to a
switched-on light source.
> Danger of injury, blinding, damage to the eyes
Never bend or crush the endoscope.
> Damage to or destruction of the endoscope
Always place the endoscope down carefully; do not let it fall.
> Damage to or destruction of the endoscope

Safety
ELTROTEC Panoramascope
Avoid hard knocks to the rigid probe.
> Damage to or destruction of the endoscope
Keep the endoscope away from acids, bases, oil and gasoline. Do not use it in the vicinity of flammable/vola-
tile vapors.
> Damage to or destruction of the endoscope
Do not place items on top of the endoscope, posing a mechanical load.
> Damage to or destruction of the endoscope
1.3 Proper Use
The ELTROTEC panoramascope is used to monitor and inspect the inside of machines, equipment and cavity
walls.
- The ELTROTEC panoramascope is not suitable for medical purposes.
- The system may only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see Chap. 2.2.
- The ELTROTEC panoramascope must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or ma-
chines are damaged in the case of malfunctions or total failure.
- Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention for safety-related applications.

1.4 Proper Environment
- Operating temperature:
Endoscope probe: 6mm: -20 °C to +70 °C (-4 °F to +158 °F)
11 mm: -20 °C to +100 °C (-4 °F to +212 °F)
Entire endoscope: -20 °C to +50 °C (-4 °F to +122 °F)
- Storage temperature: -20 °C to +50 °C (-4 °F to +122 °F)
- Humidity: up to 95% at 40 °C (+104 °F) (non-condensing)
- Ambient pressure: up to 3 bar
The maximum continuous service temperature of the endoscope probe must not exceed -20 °C to
+70 °C (-4 °F to +158 °F) (6 mm) and -20 °C to +100 °C (-4 °F to +212 °F) (11 mm) as the adhesives
used in the interior of the endoscope would evaporate.
> Destruction of the endoscope
The panoramascope is not watertight as the panorama lens is exchangeable.

2. Functional Principle, Technical Data
2.1 Short Description
The ELTROTEC panoramascope, see Fig. 1, is a high-quality optical instrument. It is ideal for the inspection
of cylindrical cavities in industrial sectors.
Fig. 1 Rigid endoscope, model ELTROTEC panoramascope
The panoramascope is designed for time-saving inspection of hollow bodies due to 360° all-round view in
one workflow and therefore ideally suitable for automatic image processing.
Use the knurled ring on the eyepiece to focus the image.
The cladding tube of the endoscope consists of corrosion-resistant stainless steel which protects the optics
against the strain of everyday use. The cladding tube of the endoscope consists of corrosion-resistant stain-
less steel which protects the optics against the strain of everyday use.
Objects are illuminated by an external light source from our accessory range, see Chap. A 1.1. The light
source is connected to the endoscope through optical fiber. Depending on the required light intensity, halo-
gen, LED or xenon light sources can be employed, which thanks to optimized optical fibers provide optimum
illumination of the field of view.
The ELTROTEC panoramascopes may also be connected to a camera system, see Chap. A 1.4.
