Getting Ready

1. This manual pertains only to the reflected fluorescence system. Before using this system together with the BX3 microscope

and associated options, make sure that you have carefully read and understood their manuals, and understand how the

system should be operated together.

2. The reflected fluorescence system is composed of precision instruments. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to

sudden or severe impact.

3. Do not use the system where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations.

4. To allow heat from the unit to dissipate well, reserve clearances of at least 10 cm around the lamp housing and power

supply unit.

5. The power cord can also be used to cut the power supply in case of emergency. To make this possible, the power supply

unit should be installed so that the power cord connector (on the rear of the power supply unit) or the power outlet is

easily accessible for unplugging in case of emergency.

6. Before igniting the burner, make sure that a mercury burner is attached and the cords are connected properly.

7. Avoid turning the lamp on-off repeatedly as this reduces the burner life considerably. The average service life of a mercury

burner is about 300 hours (USH103OL) with operating cycles of 2-hour ON and 30-minute OFF.

Indicates the presence of high voltage (1 kV or more). Take caution to guard against electric

shock.
