Warning
6. Cautions on the power cord
Be sure to use the specific power cords for the AC adapter and the power supply device. Use of
other power cords may result in malfunction, overheat, or fire.
•
See Chapter 7, “Specifications” for the specified power cord.
•
To prevent electric shock, turn off the power switches on the Ti-E or Ti-E/B microscope body
and on the power supply device before connecting or disconnecting the power cord. On Ti-E
and Ti-E/B, set the POWER switch to the “OFF” side. On the power supply, set the POWER
switch to the “O” side.
•
Note that the power supply device is classified as Class I for electric shock protection. Be sure
to connect it to a protective ground terminal.
7. Check the combination of dia pillar illuminator, lamp, and power supply device.
The combination of the dia pillar illuminator and the power supply device is specified based on
the lamp ratings (12V/100W or 6V/30W) and the power voltage. Use them in the correct
combination according to the instructions on page 55. Use of the devices in a wrong combination
may result in malfunction, overheat, or fire.
8. Cautions on heat from the light source
The lamp and the lamphouse become extremely hot when the lamp is turned on. Follow the
cautions below to prevent burns and fire.
•
To avoid burns, do not touch the lamp and the lamphouse while the lamp is on or for
approximately thirty minutes after it has been turned off.
•
To avoid the risk of fire, do not place fabric, paper, or highly flammable volatile materials (i.e.
gasoline, petroleum benzine, paint thinner, and alcohol) near the lamphouse while the lamp is
on or for about thirty minutes after it has been turned off.
•
Do not block the air vents on the lamphouse. If any obstacle covers the lamphouse or
something is placed on the lamphouse, the heat dissipation is inhibited and the lamphouse
becomes abnormally hot.
•
The bottom of the power supply device becomes hot during use. Do not cover the air vents on
the side of the power supply device.
9. Cautions on lamp replacement
•
When replacing the lamp, wait approximately thirty minutes after turning off the lamp, and
make sure that the lamp and the lamphouse have cooled sufficiently.
•
To prevent electric shock and product damage, turn off the power switch on the power supply
(set the POWER switch to the “O” side) and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before
replacing the lamp.
•
After replacing the lamp, close and secure the lamphouse cover. Never use the product with
the lamphouse cover left open.
•
Do not break the used lamp. It should be disposed of as an industrial waste, according to the
local regulations and rules.
