Duo torch with poor radial view intensities

Environment

iCAP 6500 Dual
iCAP 6300 Dual

Resolution

Verify torch assembly alignment and that the Duo's Radial view hole in the torch is centered in the side arm "bucket".

Verify periscope cover condition; as well as the o-ring; check the Duo torch sleeve or side arm "bucket"; if found etched and opaque, clean and/or replace the duo torch sleeve (p/n 842312051591, Sleeve for Duo Torch), periscope cover and o-ring (p/n 842312051401, Sampling O-Ring Kit). Also replace the gas line o-rings on the metal torch base and cleaned the fore-optic slide window.

Intensities came back up to where they were several weeks previous.
