(3) Separate the vertical tube part, which

includes a lens, and the lamp house
connector part of the lamp house adapter.
Insert the vertical tube part only in place of
the optical fiber adapter. And then, fix the
vertical tube part with three M3 hexagonal
socket head bolts.

(4) Attach the lamp house connector part onto

the vertical tube part and fix them with four
M3 hexagonal socket head bolts.

(5) Insert the lamp house into the lamp house

connector part and fix it with the clamp
screw on the upper side of the lamp house.

Replacing lamps

* For information about replacing lamps for the LS-DWL-N halogen light source for the optical fiber

illumination, refer to the instruction manual provided with the light source.

(1) Check that the power switches on the power supply and the optical fiber light source are

turned off (the switches are pushed to the "O" side).

(2) Use the hexagonal wrench to loosen the

lamp house clamp screw on the upper side
of the lamp house, then remove the lamp
house cover.
