Be careful of light-emitting diode radiation
when using the LED illuminator. Do not look
directly into the illuminator with your bare eyes
from a short distance. When adjustments are
required, the intensity must be reduced
accordingly via the potentiometer, or a suitable
attenuator must be used.
☞
The operation life with battery operation
strongly depends on the brightness set and the
loading capacity of the battery.

Attaching LED illuminator
•
Insert LED illuminator (2-15/
3
) in the
condenser carrier (2-15/
1
) in the same way
as the Abbe condensers.
•
Tighten both centering screws (2-15/
2
) until
the LED illuminator lies approximately in the
center of the beam path.
•
Use condenser drive (2-15/
4
) to move the
condenser carrier into the topmost position.
Power to the LED illuminator can be supplied
either via the line power unit or, independent
of the line, via a commercially available 9 V
Alkaline battery (9 V / Ni Cd battery block) in
the integrated battery compartment, or via an
external voltage source ranging from 11 to
14 V DC (e.g. 12 V car battery or battery
pack
C). The external voltage source must
permit a constant current of up to approx.
120 mA to be loaded.
The LED illuminator provides pleasant, color-
neutral white light with a constant color
temperature (approx. 7500 K) independent of
the set brightness. It is suitable for objectives
ranging from 2.5x to 100x. The light-emitting
diodes have a long life and cause only minor
operating costs.
Operation with power unit
•
Insert country-specific adapter (2-16/
10
)
into the power unit (2-16/
9
).
•
Insert angled connector of the power unit
(2-16/
9
) into the +12 V socket (2-16/
2
) of
the LED illuminator (2-16/
1
).
•
Connect power unit to the line.
•
Attach the cable to the back of the stand
with the self-sticking cable ties included.
