iriscope use.
It may feel like cheating but
…..
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ OUR INSTRUCTIONS !
! ! !

THANK YOU
1) The complete
EyeRonec system is packed in the ONE case.
When you open the case place please note
where all the components fit so you can pack the case the same way.
There may be some items in the case now you
do not need to carry with you in the future. Please leave these at
home, that way there is less stress on the case.
The whole system has been tested before
shipping, all the items that need setting have been set. Some images
have been recorded for you and one has been printed. Please
note that these are test images and not always perfect as the test
is conducted only to check the integrity of the system by one of our
technicians .
The cartridge and the paper (provided by
Canon) have already been placed in the printer and we have used one
of the 5 test sheets provided by Canon. We have included a box of 36
prints with your EyeRonec system. Further supplies are available
from us.
2)Unpacking and
setting up:
Remove the monitor and fit the stand, by using the screws located on the
back of the monitor (indicated by coloured dots) and the small
screwdriver provided. Put the monitor with the screen faced down on
a clean, soft, flat surface. Make sure NOTHING is in between the
screen and the desk as this can damage the screen beyond repair. Two
screws will be ok to secure the stand. After use undo the screws and
place them in the holes provided for
storage.
Place the Monitor on
you desk in a way that you can see the screen as
well as the patient.
Plug the power cord
into the back of the monitor and plug the transformer plug into the
4 way power-board. (If your monitor has exactly the same plug as
the printer PLEASE
BEWARE) I have found, out the hard way, that interchanging the plugs
will be fatal (for the monitor) so you find labels on the end of the
cables. If not PLEASE mark the plugs.
Important NOTICE The monitor may be
severely damage if the printer plug is accidentally plugged into the
back of the monitor! (Sorry,
No guarantee)
Remove the camera from its
location in the case with the attached power
supply.
The camera will have
3 cables connected to it in total.
- The short cable
from the lens control box to the back or side of the
camera.
- The video cable
from the side of the camera to the (back) of the VIDEO
monitor;
(yellow plug to yellow socket on the monitor). (black plug
is for sound and is NOT used)
- The white USB cable
with the small plug is going to the side of the camera and the
larger plug to fit into the left side of the
printer.
There is a grey rubber grommet covering the
holes of the camera and printer, just open it
up.
Above
is just an example of a camera and the functions of all the
buttons.
Your
camera may differ in outlay but most buttons will be
similar.
The
“SET” button should have been called the “OK” button for
clarity.
DO NOT FIT BATTERIES
! Remove
them after using the camera away from your
office.
The EyeRonec lens
system is already been fitted for you. If you at a later date like
to use the camera for domestic use you may remove the special lens
and fit the plastic cover ring provided in its place. To replace the
EyeRonec lens or in the case the ring is still attached,
remove the plastic silver ring, located around the lens, by
pressing the button, located just to the side at the bottom of the
lens. The plastic ring is very light and it may need a little tap as
well as rotation for it to come off. Attach the EyeRonec lens
unit by lining-up the dot on the lens unit with the button on the camera. Now turn slowly
clockwise (to the right) until it locks into place. (You may hear a
feint click) DO NOT FORCE THE LENS ! You may remove the lens in
the reverse order if you at any time would like to take “Family
snaps” with this, high
quality, camera.
Now
remove the printer.
Plug the white plug
(lead from the camera) into the side of the printer after lifting
the rubber cover and then plug the power cord into the back of the
printer *Do NOT mix up
this plug with the monitor plug this can be fatal for the
monitor). This is the plug on the end of the little box (Power
supply) Plug the mains cable into the little box and the other end
into the 4 way power board. The printer has been prepared for you.
Remove the paper-tray from the case and if not fitted already, place
some paper into the tray. There are 5 sheets in the original test
packet. Slide and flip open the tray, place the paper with the
glossy side up and discard the cover sheet. Look at the back of the
paper, the stamp square goes into the tray first. By locating the
paper this way you will always have the pictures the right way up.
Now remove the cartridge from the bag and place it into the slot on
the right side of the printer after opening the door. Press all the
way home until it clicks into place and close the
door.
Prepare the 4 way power
board, but DO NOT
turn the power on as yet..
For our International clients the plugs will
look foreign; We have not changed these so that no-one can borrow
your equipment for other jobs, this way your iridology
equipment is always complete. The plug on the end of the 4 way
power-board has a plug or an adapter to fit your local mains socket.
In the case it is wrong you only have to change one
plug to a local type. The mains voltage of the equipment is
INTERNATIONAL everything
will work OK from 100 – 250 Volts (In fact test performed in
our lab reveals that the equipment will start up from 80 volts and
will operate down to 50 volts.).
A RCD electrical safety
switch may have been provided. Although Australian regulations state
that ALL new homes must have a safety switch in the mains supply,
some of the older homes and businesses may not have this protection,
so to protect you and your patients we may have fitted this
potentially life saving device. If there ever was a fault in any of
the electrical equipment the power will turn off within 30
milliseconds (less time than a single heartbeat).To turn ON the
power switch PRESS the
(GREEN) button, after you have switched ON the power outlet. To test
the proper operation of the unit press the (BLUE) TEST button.
(USA units have white buttons only)
Plug the power plug
into your mains supply and Press the RESET button on the RCD switch.
Next, press the power button on the MONITOR,
the
CAMERA,
and the PRINTER (a
light will illuminate on each unit to confirm that the power is
ON)
Select VIDEO on the
Monitor:
- Press the arrow
button on the monitor or the remote control and select VIDEO.
- (the letters AV
or V1 or something
similar will show on the screen) and press
SELECT.
Once set, the monitor will power-up in this mode.
- With the
camera turned
ON
(Green
light
ON) ,
- Slide the
mode lever down to PLAYBACK (the blue
symbol)
-
-
4)The monitor should now show one of the
recorded images
(If the
screen displays “NO
IMAGE” follow the
record instructions first .to “take a
picture”)
You can now
pull the zoom lever, on the right hand site of the
camera, once.
You will find that
the image is enlarged 2.5x. (The indicator on the left bottom of the
screen shows the relationship between the current screen (white
block) and the original photograph (the window).
Pull the lever again
to enlarge again and you can continue this until a 10x image is
displayed. This represents about 100s X the size of the Iris or
more. To move the image from right to left press < left
and > right. For Up and Down press
the top and bottom buttons (of the array of 4 buttons or one round
disc button (jock wheel)).
To bring the picture
back to normal size push the zoom lever back. If you press it back once
more you will see a screen full of 9 small images, one will have a
green border, you can move the border with the < and >
buttons. To select the highlighted picture pull lever once and to
enlarge the image pull again and repeat until the desired
enlargement is achieved.
To display the date,
time and photograph number press “Display”. Rh. Top shows the
Image number. Lh.
Bottom the picture number for example: No. 5 of a 17 image
“reel”.
To remove the
text press display button again. (2x)
To change the date
and time press MENU and follow the instruction book. We have set the
camera to print the date on all the pictures.
5) Printing:
To print
you must first display the image on the
monitor. When the correct image is shown on the monitor and after
the printer is turned
ON and the indicator light is on, so there is a
connection to the camera, the word “SET:” appears in the top left
hand corner of the screen.
When
the word SET shows on the screen press the SET button once and once
again for ONE print only or edit the number of copies to be printed
on the screen.
If your
camera has a blue light illuminated you can just press that button once only
to print ONE copy.
How to print an
enlarged image onto a
photograph:
To print enlarged
images press “SET” to enter the print menu Now use the arrows to light
up TRIMMING. To select (trimming) press SET; You
will now see a RED window over the screen image. The area inside
this window will be your print.
You may move the red
window (by using the jockwheel arrow buttons) or make the window
larger (for a smaller print) by pushing the zoom lever back
(left).
When you are
ready press SET. Now use the arrows again to light-up “PRINT” and press SET to
print.
6) HOW TO
RECORD, “TAKING PICTURES”
Set the mode switch to Shooting ^ (UP
ARROW).
A circle is visible in the centre of the monitor, the rest is
black.
(Do NOT take pictures
this way, the camera will focus on the eye lid instead of the
iris)
Pull
zoom lever until the motor stops and you see a full screen.
!!!!!!!
Some Camera Models produce an iris image
larger then the screen and some of the iris may be cut off.
You can reduce the image by using the zoom
lever. A slightly smaller image will appear sharper as well.
1) Set the selector wheel to
“P” the “No Flash” icon should show.
( A crossed lighting bolt
symbol on the right hand top of the
screen.)
On the P setting the “No Flash”
selection will remain unchanged, so there is no need to set this
each time.
(To
obtain the most natural,
white, colour we have already set the white level so NATURAL
colours will display when you use the P
setting.)
(Please
note that on the AUTO setting the colour will be too blue due to the
daylight colour of the lights. Use Auto
for your family pics, without the EyeRonec lens
fitted)
2) You MAY
have to press the down arrow button to set
“macro” ( a tulip symbol appears on the
screen) However many
camera models will focus OK without the macro set! This is explained
further on.
* A
blurred image may indicate that the setting needs changing.!!
Place your finger in
front of the lens. The lights should be ON (2 for blue eyes, 4 or 6
for dark brown eyes)
and you should clearly see your finger print in focus, when you
press the shutter release ˝ way down.Or place the eyecup on your
clothing, you will see the fine weave come
into focus when you press the shutter button 1/2 way
down.
Please note that there is NO
need to look at the camera you look at the MONITOR while adjusting
the camera to get the eye in
the centre of
the screen.
To take the
iris picture you place the lens-eyecup
over the eye and press the shutter button
1/2 way down until the image is in focus and centered. You may need
to move the camera a
little to centre the image and press the shutter button ˝ way a few
times until the iris is in focus. When in focus hold the button ˝
way and Now press the shutter button all the way down
without releasing the button and without moving the
camera. One
or more GREEN squares may appear on
the screen when you are taking a picture, this shows the area that
the camera is focusing on. If the focus is clear
and the image is centered, the middle square will
go green. If the overall picture
is in focus 3 squares will show, although this would be unlikely for
an iris, which is a round, ball shaped image. A beep maybe emitted
when in focus. If a green square is
located on the eyelid the iris will most likely be out of focus.
(As the focus point was
the eye lid not the iris)
After you have taken
the picture the image will be displayed for 10sec (this is called preview ),
if it looks OK
take the next
iris photo.
The EyeRonec
lens unit is designed to allow for Caucasian (deep set) as well as
Asian eyes by moving
the eyecup ring forward. The knurled ring will extend and reduce the
length of the lens and thus the distance between the eye and the
camera lens.
The
current model has an rotating eye-cup ring, just rotate the rubber
eye-cup to suit right or left
eye.
The Knurled ring controls
the distance from the eye to the lens and needs to be set at the
correct distance, once set it will be OK for most irises. Most
cameras will focus O.K. without
the MACRO set at the half way to full
extension of the lens and WITH
MACRO set the lens
needs to be short. (All the way
in) Please experiment with theses settings so
you know the best position to take photographs (Before trying it out
on patients)
When taking
iris photographs it is good practice to always start with the right
eye.. The eye-cup rotates and the flap should
face away from the nose and thus block out ambient light. So after taking the right
eye rotate the cup to
turn the eyepiece to the right, to photograph the patient’s left
iris. If at any time
the image does not focus correctly, and the image gets clearer when
you pull the camera back (towards you) a little, you need to extend
the lens ring by using the knurled
ring. Should you pull the
ring out of the barrel then this is not
a problem as the ring
is held in place by a spring loaded ball, which allows you to
push the ring back in. Practice a little and you will find that the
action is quite nice and needs not much pressure.
The rubber eyecup may be cleaned with
alcohol or methylated
spirits between patients.
To take SCEROLOGY pictures remove the
front ring so that the patient can hold the eyelid down with a
finger while you take
the picture. ( Look up, look down, look left and look
right)
To display the
image on the screen turn mode lever downwards. (blue icon)
* If at any time the
screen goes blank, pull the zoom lever or press any other
button to wake up the camera.
This auto sleep
function can not be turned off in record mode; Canon has
set this so that if one forgets to turn the camera off the batteries
do not run flat. Although we do not use batteries this feature
is fixed.
*If
the the monitor is blank try to press “Display”on the
camera, you may have accidentally pressed this button. The
camera WILL always go to sleep if there is no movement in the
record mode and the monitor may go to sleep if there is no
input signal, but will wake when signal appears.

GUARANTEE
Canon
Australia can provide an extended warranty (total of 3 years)
however we must arrange this for you. You will receive a
CERTIFICATE. We require the camera and printer
serial numbers and all your name and address details and if the
extended service was not included in the purchase we need a payment
of $ 95.- But only if your
purchase does not include the extra
guarantee.If the guarantee IS included
you need to provide the details to EyeRonec, we will arrange the
extended service and payment to Canon.
This
must be arranged within 30 days of purchase of the equipment so
please return the yellow sheet to us ASAP.
Overseas
clients have 1 year guarantee unless they have an Australian
address.
The Video monitor has
a separate (1 year) guarantee.
Contact the service
centre listed on the video Monitor’s paperwork if service is
required at any time.
Please do NOT send us any suspect
equipment, instead CALL us first, we may be able to assist
you.
LCD monitor
screens are made with some 2 million transistors. The reliability of
manufacturing is very good nowadays and only a few transistors
will
fail, which will show as black or white dots. The industry standard
is to pass equipment with
a maximum of 8 faulty transistors.
Some may be DEAD and show a black dot and some will be fully
ON and show a white or coloured dot. These will be only
visible on an empty screen and depending on the background colour.
This is quite normal and does not effect the operation or
viewing of the unit and is not covered by any
guarantee.
10) Portable
Unit instructions
If your system has
the screen located inside the lid of the silver case, you must take
care to protect the screen against damage.
Place the screen
towards the lid (upside down for the SAMSUNG and KROSS (Sharp) unit,
upright for the LG monitor) and lock it in place.
Some monitors
have a very tight fit and some minor scratches may appear on
the top of the monitor after removing and replacing the screen into
the lid. (There is just no room for extra padding)
Do NOT
PLACE ANYTHING BETWEEN the screen and the
lid.
The soft carry bag also needs
care. Please take care of the screen it is very fragile !
The monitor
goes in the bag upside down and the screen facing inward. A stiff
cardboard sheet has been provided in the front pocket to further
protect the screen.Mechanical damage to
the screen is NOT covered by any guarantee so take extra care and
always pack and handle the case yourself and if you fly place the
bag or case in the overhead locker. Do NOT let the bag/case go
through as cargo (Checked baggage)
The KROSS (Sharp)
monitor must have the stand removed for transport; Remove the cover
lid (if fitted) and undo the 4 screws, take off the stand and put
the screws back into the holes so you don’t loose them. We have
marked the spots with coloured dots.The stand stores in the centre
compartment in the silver case or the front pocket of the black
bag.
When stored in the
silver case always put the cover plate in place so that you can
secure the unit for transport by clipping the strap over the turn
button. The luggage type "Roll-on-board" case with wheels has the
monitor in the lid as well and it is secured by means of the 2
straps.
It
is good practice that before you OPEN the silver case you sit it on
a chair or close to a wall so that the lid is supported and the case
is steady. The
monitor in the lid could make the unit top heavy and the whole case
may tilt back unexpectedly.
These are the
main instructions for the CANON EyeRonec equipment used as an
digital iriscope.
If you
have any suggestions that can help others please pass them on to us
by emailing Leo@care.cc
Further information
and features of the equipment may be found in the manufacturers
instruction manuals and CD’s that are provided with the
system.
Thank
you.
