A15.0908 Series 

 

1. Operation Notice

 

1. As the microscope is a high precision 
instrument, always operate it with care, and 
avoid physical shake during the operation. 
2. Do not expose the microscope in the sun 
directly, either not in the high temperature, damp, 
dust or acute shake. Make sure the worktable is 
flat and horizontal. Following environment is 
required when operating: Indoor temperature: 5

℃~

40

, Max relative humidity: 80%. 

3. When moving the microscope, use one hand to 
hold its front base and the other hand to hold its 
arm, and lay it down carefully (See the Fig. left). 

  It will damage the microscope by holding 

the stage, focusing knob, head or light source 
when moving. 

4. When working, the surface of light source will 
be very hot. Make sure there is enough room for 
the heat dissipating around the light source. 
5. Connect the microscope to the ground to avoid 
lightning strike. 
6. For safety, make sure the power switch is at 
“O” (OFF) and power it off before replacing the 
bulb or fuse (See the Fig. left), and wait until 
both the bulb and bulb holder have cooled down. 

Bulb selected only: 12V/50W Halogen bulb. 

7. Wide voltage range is supported as 100~240V. 
Additional transformer is not necessary. Make 
sure the voltage is in this range. 
8. Use the special wire supplied by our company. 

2. Maintenance 

(1) Wipe the lens gently with a soft tissue. Carefully wipe off the oil marks and fingerprints on 
the lens surfaces with a tissue moistened with a small amount of 3:7 mixture of alcohol and 
ether or dimethylbenzene. 

  As the alcohol and ether is flammable, don’t place these chemical near to fire or fire 

source. For example, when turning on/ off the electrical device, please use these chemical in 
a ventilated place. 

(2) Don’t use organic solution to wipe the surfaces of other components. Please use the neutral 
detergent if necessary. 
(3) If the microscope is damped by liquid when using, power it off immediately and wipe it dry. 
(4) Never disassemble the microscope, otherwise the performance will be affected or the 
instrument will be damaged. 
(5) After using, cover the microscope with a dust cover. 

3. Safety Sign
