MOUNTING TO THE SO-311 FLOOR STAND

Assemble the floor stand according to the instructions provided with it.
2.
Clamp the power supply assembly to the mounting plate at the top of the floor stand.
3.
Continue assembling the microscope from step 2 of the instructions for table mounting.
CAUTION:
•
Scan Optics advise caution when using the SO-311 floor stand with this microscope. To
prevent over-balancing, use sandbags or a similar method to weigh down the floor stand
legs. Try to use the fixed arm and pantograph arm in a compact orientation to minimize the
moment arm acting on the floor stand.
BATTERY CONNECTION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY
Scan Optics recommend the use of sealed rechargeable lead-acid 12V batteries such as Scan
Optics Cat Nos. SO-251 (small, light, lower (7Ah) capacity) and SO-9210 (large, heavy, higher
(35Ah) capacity). These batteries are
maintenance -free
and can be operated, charged or stored in
any position without leakage.
1.
If the power supply is to be connected to a 12-volt dc supply, remove the battery cable from
the carton and connect the cable to the 3-pin plug on the underside of the power supply.
2.
Connect the red battery clip to the positive battery terminal, and the black clip to the
negative battery terminal. The power supply will not operate if the terminals are reversed
CAUTION:
•
The 12-volt supply must be direct current. The power supply will not operate with 12 volts
alternating current.
•
Do not charge these batteries in a sealed container.
•
Avoid short-circuiting batteries.
•
Old lead-acid batteries of any type must be disposed of correctly. It is recommended that
they are recycled by an appropriate establishment who recycle car batteries. Lead acid
batteries should not be disposed of with ordinary household or medical waste, as lead
poisoning or acid trauma may result.
•
Where battery backup is used, Scan Optics recommends a periodical check of the battery to
ensure it is charged and functional.
