Hints on Maintenance and
Care
To enable the microscope illuminators to
function perfectly, it is necessary to use only
components and spares marketed or admitted
by us. When in doubt, please contact our
service staff.
With the exception of the work described in
this manual, the user must not perform any
repairs or changes himself.
We would like to emphasize that all other
changes and repairs must be performed by
specially authorized personnel.
Defective instruments or components may only
be repaired and maintained by our service
department.
−
After expiry of the
average operating time
(
see data sheets from the lamp
manufacturers
), the lamps must be
exchanged; there is a
risk of explosion
!
The operating time of the HBO 103 and XBO
75 can be checked on the counter of the
relevant transformer.
(Fig. 5/Fig. 8)
The intensity of the lamps decreases when
the operating time increases, i.e.
homogeneous illumination of the object field
can then no longer be guaranteed.
−
The lamps must be exchanged as described
in
chapters 3.1/3.2
.
−
Before each lamp exchange, make sure to
allow the N HBO 103 or N XBO 75
microscope illuminator to cool down
sufficiently long in order to reduce the
pressure; wait at least for
15 minutes
!
−
Always disconnect the instrument from the
line before each lamp exchange or any other
work inside the instrument.
−
The safety regulations of the lamp
manufacturer must be observed when the
XBO 75 is changed.
−
Check the cables of the N HBO 103 and N
XBO 75 when changing the lamp.
−
Clean the housing of the microscope
illuminator when it is dirty.
Do not use any solvents.
Soak a cleaning cloth in a mixture of water
and washing-up liquid, remove the dirt and
dry the housing using a clean cloth.

Hints on Disposal
Used HBO 103 and XBO 75 lamps and defective

the legal regulations.
When in doubt, please contact the Carl Zeiss
microscopy service.

Hints on Warranty
The instrument manufacturer is not liable for
damage caused by unauthorized operation,
particularly the removal and exchange of
components, or the use of accessories from
other manufacturers. This forfeits all the claims
against warranty.
