IMPORTANT
With the U-UVF248A unit, the U-UVF248LB that is the manual type light source box is replaced with the
U-UVF248LBM that is the motorized type light source box. The U-UVF248LBM is capable of motorized
control of the opening/closing of the shutter and the adjustment of the light intensity.
The applicable scope is also changed to the MX61A motorized microscope frame, and additional mod-
ules and the MX2-BSW control software are newly necessary.
The present instruction manual pertains only to the information specific to the motorized operations. For
other information, please refer to the instruction manual for the manual type U-UVF248 unit (packaged
together with the U-UVF248IM).
Precautions on UV Light
1. The motorized shutter monitors the drive status of the MX61A to prevent accidental irradiation of UV light. However, care
is still required against UV leak from the revolving nosepiece and specimen surface.
2. To prevent unexpected irradiation of UV rays, be sure to close the idle objective positions of the revolving nosepiece by
attaching the caps provided with the revolving nosepiece.
3. Leakage of UV light can be prevented effectively by attaching the optional breath shield on the revolving nosepiece of the
MX61A.
4. Do not bend the UV light guide into a radius below 100 mm to prevent it from breaking. The UV light guide should be
inspected periodically to confirm absence of crack that may lead to UV leak.
