IMPORTANT
The IX81 microscope can be used in stand-alone mode (operated from the U-HSTR2 hand switch) or can operated from a
PC when the IX2-BSW software (Ver. 01.03, compatible with Windows 2000/Me) is installed in the PC.
Be sure to prepare the U-ZPCB (T2) Z-board and attach it to the IX81, and set the DIP switch (see page
50) before connecting the IX2-UCB control board to the IX81.
This microscope employs a UIS2/UIS (Universal Infinity System) optical design, and should be used only
with modules designed for the IX2 or BX2 series (which belong to the Olympus IX or BX series).
For the applicable modules, please consult Olympus or the latest catalogues. Less than optimum per-
formance may result if inappropriate module combinations are used.
Configuration of Instruction Manuals
Since this microscope is expandable to a variety of systems, separate instruction manuals are prepared so
that the user has to read only the manuals according to the user’s own system.

Precautions When Unpacking the Microscope
Releasing the Transport Lock of the Motorized Revolving Nosepiece
# Never attempt to turn the system on without removing the clamping
rod. Otherwise, the focusing mechanism may be damaged.
1. Loosen the screw
@
of the clamping rod using the Allen screwdriver
provided with the microscope frame.
2. Turn the nut ² of the clamping rod in the direction of the arrow until the
nut reaches the lowest height.
3. Likewise, turn the clamping rod ³ in the direction of the arrow until the
rod reaches the lowest height.
4. Insert the Allen screwdriver into the hole on the clamping rod mount
4
and turn the screwdriver in the opposite direction to the dial to remove
the clamping rod.
5. Attach the provided seal (10 mm dia., white) on the hole made after
removing the clamping rod to prevent penetration of dust through the
hole.
}Retain the clamping rod carefully because it will be used again the next
time the microscope is transported.
