IMPORTANT
The reflected fluorescence system is designed to be mounted on the CKX41 culture microscope
to enable the transmitted light observation and B/G-excited (U-excitation optionally available)
fluorescence observation by switching them using a slider.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1 . Make sure that the main switch of the power supply unit is set to "
power cord to the AC outlet.
2 . The power supply unit contains high-voltage components. Never attempt to disassembly the unit, or
you may run the risk of electric shock.
3 . Always be sure to ground (earth) the equipment. Otherwise, Olympus will no longer warrant the
electrical safety of the equipment.
4 . The reflected fluorescence system should be installed on a flat surface so that the ventilation opening
on the bottom panel is not blocked.
Do not install the system on a surface which is soft or which may collapse under the weight of the
microscope, for the subsequent blockage of the bottom panel ventilation opening could create a fire
hazard.
5 . The high-pressure mercury burner used should be the HBO50W/AC (OSRAM) or CS50W4 (PHILIPS).
6 . Before opening the lamp housing for replacement of the burner or any other internal part, set the
mains witch to "
power supply unit, and wait 10 minutes or more until the lamp housing cools down.
7 . Do not open the lamp housing while it is turned on or for at least 10 minutes after it has been turned
off. Lamp housing parts are extremely hot and cause burns if touched (see page 13).
8 . Do not remove the lamp housing while the burner is lit.
Also, do not turn the burner on while the lamp housing is removed.
9 . Do not install the lamp housing upside down or at an angle.
The lamp housing surface becomes very hot during operation, so ensure that there is ample free
space around the lamp housing, especially above and below.
10 . If the microscope power cord comes in contact with the lamp housing or its surroundings, the cord
may melt and subsequently cause electric shock. Be sure to position the power cord at a safe
distance from the lamp housing.
11 . A used mercury burner should be disposed of in compliance with the ordinances or regulations of
your national or local government.
12 . To replace the lithium battery (for the hour counter) built into the power supply unit, consult Olympus.
As the power supply unit incorporates a lithium battery, it should be disposed of in the same way as a
used mercury burner, i.e., in compliance with the ordinances or regulations of your national or local
government.
13 . Before placement of the dust cover for protection after operation, wait until the lamp housing cools
down sufficiently and unplug the power cord.
