Warnings

Warning engravings are placed at parts where special precaution is required when handling and using the system.

Always heed the warnings.

Getting Ready

1. This manual pertains only to the operations of the motorized reflected fluorescence system. Also read the instruction

manuals of the BX microscope and associated options to obtain general understanding on the system.

2. Do not attempt to operate the motorized parts manually. They may be destroyed by excessive force.

3. The motorized reflected fluorescence system is composed of precision instruments. Handle them with care and avoid

subjecting them to sudden or severe impact.

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

5. To enable ventilation for the lamp housing and power supply unit, reserve spaces of more than 10 cm around them.

6. The power cord can be used to shut off power supply in case of emergency. To enable this function, install the power

supply unit so that its power cord connector (on the rear of the power supply unit) or wall power outlet can easily

accessed and unplugged in case of emergency.

Maintenance and Storage

1. Clean all glass components by wiping gently with gauze. To remove fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe with gauze slightly

moistened with a mixture of ether (70%) and alcohol (30%).

Since solvents such as ether and alcohol are highly flammable, they must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep

these chemicals away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks –– for example, electrical

equipment that is being switched on or off. Also remember to always use these chemicals only in a well-venti-

lated room.

2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the system components other than the glass components. To clean

them, use a clean cloth. If they are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.

3. Never attempt to disassemble any part of the system.

4. When the hour counter on the power supply unit indicates 200 hours (USH102D) or 300 hours (HBO103W/2), set the main

switch to "

" (OFF), wait for more than 10 minutes for safety, then replace the mercury burner (see page 33). Unlike

fluorescent lamps, the mercury burner incorporates high-pressure gas sealer inside it. If the burner is used far beyond the

service life, the distortion will accumulate in the glass tube, which may explode in worst case.

Applicable Intermediate Attachment

The BX-RFAA motorized reflected fluorescence illuminator can be used in two-stage stacked configuration by attaching

an intermediate attachment on it.
