SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Fig. 1)
IMPORTANT
This microscope employs a UIS2 (Universal Infinity System) optical design, and should be used only with
UIS2 eyepieces, objectives and condensers for the BX2 series. (Some of the modules designed for the BX
series and objectives/eyepieces for the UIS series are also usable. For details, please consult Olympus
or the catalogues.) Less than optimum performance may result if inappropriate accessories are used.
1. After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen that
is accompanied with a potential of infection, clean the parts coming in
contact with the specimen to prevent infection.
· Moving this product is accompanied with the risk of dropping the spe-
cimen. Be sure to remove the specimen before moving this product.
· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly
take the infection prevention measures.
· Follow the procedures described in Chapter “Getting Ready” (see on
page 2) prior to using the accessories of this product. Otherwise, the
stability of the device will be lost and the dropped specimen will cause
the possibility of infection.
2. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench.
3. Be careful not to tilt the microscope too much. Otherwise, the mobile
parts such as the light path selector knob may move in unintended
directions.
4. The surfaces of the lamp housing on the rear of the microscope will
become extremely hot during operation. When installing the microscope,
make sure to allow ample free space (10 cm or more) around and in
particular above the lamp housing.
5. When installing the microscope, route the power cord away from the
lamp housing. Should the power cord come in contact with the hot lamp
housing, the power cord could melt and cause electric shock.
6. To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the light
bulb, set the main switch @ to “ ” (OFF) then disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet in advance. Whenever you replace the bulb during
use or right after use, allow the lamp housing, and bulb to cool before
touching. (Fig. 1)
Designated bulb
12V100WHAL (PHILIPS 7724)
Always use the designated lamp bulb. Using other bulb may
cause malfunction.
7. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If no power cord is
provided, please select the proper power cord by referring to the section
“PROPER SELECTION OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD” at the end of this
instruction manual. If the proper power cord is not used, product safety
performance cannot be warranted.
8. Always ensure that the
grounding terminal
of the microscope and that of
the wall outlet are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded,
Olympus can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the
equipment.
9. Never insert metallic objects into the air vents of the microscope frame
as this could result in electrical shock, personal injury and equipment
damage.
10. The standard service life of the lamp housing is eight (8) years of use or
20,000 hours of total power ON period, whichever is the shorter period.
