Plug the Nanodyne illuminator into the recepticle in the same way as the original.
The red line drawn in on the above photo shows the desired path of the intensity
adjust cable, coming from the adjustment pot on the plate, and ending where it is
plugged in to the bottom of the illuminator. Secure the cable in place with the tape that
is provided.
NOTE - This photo shows a BX41 installation. It is the same as a BX40 installation,
except the intensity adjustment cable goes to the adjustment pot near the front of the
microscope, rather than the plate near the back of the microscope as on the BX40. The
cable in the above photo is an older version that came out of the illuminator. The
current cable is shown in the photos to the right.
The plug should go in this far with no
resistance. If there is any resistance turn the
plug around. If there is still resistance inspect
for damage or obstruction.
After partially inserting the socket to the
mating socket of the illuminator with your
finger, use other mechanical tools such as
driver or tweezer to firmly insert the socket all
the way by pushing back edge of the socket
as indicated with the red arrow in the image 2.
Fully insert the plug by pushing on the wires.
You should feel a slight snap as it engages.
The wires can be bent at 90 degrees near the
plug to keep them close to the illuminator.
The socket cannot be fully engaged by
pushing on the wire attached as the wires
would just collapse.
If you want to pull the socket out, pull the wire
straight out by firmly gripping the black heat
shrink tubing.
