Safety Precautions 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Warning 

 

 

1.  Intended application of the product 

The product is intended mainly for microscopic observations and micromanipulations of living 
cells and tissues under diascopic or episcopic illumination. It is designed for the purposes of 
experimentations and observations at hospitals or laboratories in the fields of genetics, 
immunology, physiology, pharmacology, neurology, cellular biology, and molecular biology.   
The product is classified as an in-vitro diagnostic medical device.   

2.  Do not disassemble. 

Disassembling this product may result in electric shock or malfunction. Malfunctions and damage 
due to such mishandlings will not be warranted. Do not disassemble any part that is not indicated 
in this manual. If you experience problems with the product, contact Nikon.   

3.  Read the instructions thoroughly. 

To ensure safety, thoroughly read this manual and the manuals for other equipment to be used 
with this product. In particular, be sure to follow the warnings and cautions at the beginning of the 
manuals.  

4.  Check the input voltage. 

The dia illumination lamp uses one of two types of power supply devices.   

•  TI-PS100W Power Supply: 

The TI-PS100W Power Supply device can be used with 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, and can 
be used with most wall outlets in the world. Under normal use, you will not need to pay
particular attention to the supplied power voltage.   

•  TE-PS30W Power Supply A or TE-PSE30 Power Supply A: 

The input voltage ratings are indicated on the rear panel of the power supply device. Before 
connecting the power cord, check that the indicated input voltage matches the voltage of the
wall outlet. If the indicated input voltage does not match your regional voltage supply, do not
use the power supply device, and contact Nikon. Use of a power supply device with the
inappropriate voltage rating may result in overheating or fire due to overcurrent, and may also
cause damage the power supply device and connected devices.   

5.  Cautions on the power cord 

Be sure to use specified power cord for 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 switch (press the “O” side of the POWER 

switch) on the power supply device before connecting or disconnecting the power cord.   

  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.
