Mounting or replacing the 35 W
halogen lamp or the 10 W LED
illuminator for reflected light
Axiolab 5 stands are equipped with a 10W LED
white light for reflected illumination. The LED
illuminator can be alternatively changed to a 35W
Halogen lamp.
To insert or replace the halogen lamp/LED
illuminator, proceed as follows.
Removing the cover
•
Switch off the microscope, remove the power
cord on the microscope and allow it to cool
down at least 15 min.
•
Loosen the screw (Fig. 3-20/
1
) in the cover.
•
Swing the cover (Fig. 3-20/
2
) slightly upwards
and apply pressure from below to remove it
from the stand.
Changing the halogen lamp
•
Remove the lamp plug (Fig. 3-21/
3
) from the
halogen lamp (Fig. 3-21/
2
).
•
Press the loops on the securing clips
(Fig. 3-21/
1
) of the lamp holder together and
swing them out to the front.
•
When changing the lamp, remove the old one
(Fig. 3-21/
2
).
•
Position the new halogen lamp on the contact surface of the lamp holder (the lamp will be held
securely by the groove).
•
Press the securing clips (Fig. 3-21/
1
) on both sides of the lamp holder and swing them upwards until
the securing clips are seated against the halogen lamp. Slowly release the securing clips so that they
open and engage in the retaining elements to the right and left.
•
Check that the halogen lamp is correctly seated and push the lamp plug (Fig. 3-21/
3
) onto the pins of
the lamp. Ensure that it engages properly to avoid bending the pins.
•
Insert the cable of the lamp plug into the stand so that it is not damaged when the cover is attached.
