Mounting and adjusting the
HAL 100 halogen illuminator
The HAL 100 halogen illuminator may serve as a
light source for transmitted light and reflected light
procedures (except fluorescence light) as long as
either the lower or upper part of the stand is
equipped with the appropriate connection piece.
When mounting the halogen illuminator, no
difference is made between reflected light and
transmitted light procedures.
3.1.19.1
Mounting the HAL 100
ATTENTION
Before switching on the halogen
illuminator, remove the tools
(
7
) included in the illuminator
case to prevent them from being
damaged by heat.
•
With the Allen wrench (AF 3) loosen the
clamping screw of the respective illumination
connector (lower for TL (
8
), upper for
RL (
1
)) on the back of the stand.
•
Insert the lamp case (Fig. 3-29/
7
) with the dovetail ring into the connector (
2
or
3
).
Now fixate it by tightening the clamping screw (Fig. 3-29/
1
or
8
) with the Allen wrench.
NOTE
Due to the lack of ground clearance it is important to avoid tilting the illuminator when
inserting it into the lower stand part. Check for straight and correct fit.
•
Connect the 3-pin lamp plug (Fig. 3-29/
6
) to the respective socket on the back of the external power
supply unit (suited for two lamps) (Fig. 3-29/
5
): plug the TL illuminator into the lower
TL
socket, plug
the RL illuminator into the upper
RL
socket.
•
Connect the cable (Fig. 3-29/
4
) for illumination intensity control (see section 3.3.2).
NOTE
If this cable is connected to the stand, the illumination intensity of the HAL 100 in use can be
varied by rotating the Intensity/LM knob (Fig. 2-2/
6
).
If this cable is not connected to the stand, the illumination intensity of the HAL 100 in use can
be varied by rotating the adjusting wheel of the external power supply unit.
To switch between the illuminators for reflected and for transmitted light, flip the toggle
switch of the power supply unit to
TL
for transmitted light or to
RL
for reflected light (see
section 3.3).
