Adjusting the supension system
S88 floor stand with lifting column -
Setting the ergonomic working height
Bring the surgical microscope into a position convenient for you before
each surgical procedure, and set the optimum ergonomic working height
of the suspension system via the lifting column (without patient!).
As long as you keep switch (2) pressed down, the lifting column (1) in the
stand base moves upwards or downwards, depending on the position of
the switch. When you release the switch, the lifting column stops immedi-
ately.
The switching technology causes a dead time of approx. 2 seconds at the
upper and lower end positions of the lifting column. After this time, you
can move in the opposite direction again by activating switch (2).
Note:
The lifting column is used to move the microscope into position for surgery
prior to the surgical procedure.
Do not constantly move the lifting column up and down, since a thermal
cut-out will then automatically deactivate the drive motor. If this occurs,
the lifting column cannot be moved until the motor has cooled down.
Warning!
– Do not activate the lifting column during surgery!
– Do not use the lifting column for focusing.
– by the motorized movement of the lifting column,
– by the motorized focusing system,
– by the movement of the suspension arm.
