Re. M695 surgical microscope in conjunction with multifocus objective 445 944
Leica AG
CH-9435 Heerbrugg
(Switzerland)
Restriction of illuminated area
lnspect the illumination
Multifocus objective on M695:
Readjustment of the illumination
When the multifocus objective is used with the M695, the illuminated area available to the surgeon may be shadowed or vignetted even when the the lamp is correctly adjusted.
When you use the multifocus objective for the first time, inspect the illumination:
•Engage the shortest working distance (the shortest focal length).
•Engage the lowest zoom position (7).
•Inspect the illuminated fields produced by both of the lamps in the lamp changer.
•If the illuminated area is noticeably restricted, readjust the lamps.
Readjusting the lamp |
The illumination of the field of view is influenced by the distance |
|
between the lamp and the condenser lens. This distance can be changed |
|
by means of the eccentric stop cam on the lamp changer. To obtain |
|
uniform illumination, reduce the distance between the lamp and the |
|
condenser lens. |
|
Adjust the eccentric stop cam for both lamps in the lamp changer: |
|
1. Remove the multifocus objective and push the filter slide of the |
|
M695 optics carrier towards the objective. Beneath the filter slide |
|
you will find the adjusting screw for the eccentric stop cam. |
2 . Using a screwdriver, displace the eccentric stop cam by about oneeighth of a turn so that the lamp can be moved in the direction of the objective.
CAUTION: The lamp may be hot.
3.Switch to the second lamp, and carry out point 2 for this lamp.
4.Refit the multifocus objective and inspect the illumination as described above.
5. If necessary, repeat the adjustment procedure (points 1 - 3).

M690 |
optics carrier Mitaka |
445 543 |
M695 |
optics carrier |
445 560 |
M695 |
optics carrier Mitaka OH 445 841 |
Since March 1995 an improved version with the same No. has been delivering. The two versions can be distinguished easily according to the drawing on page two.
The concerned customers are already informed by your Management.
The faulty products have to be replaced, please contact your Marketing responsible for SOM products.

Changes and modifications
M680 control unit (MEL61/62) is compatible with
M695 surgical microscope
. . . from control unit the MEL61/62 can also be used for the M695, provided that earlier lamp serial number 011193001 control PCBs are subjected to a slight modification. This modification was
onwards introduced from March 1993 onwards (Index C on board) (355 980 C).
The functions ZOOM SPEED B, XY-SPEED and POSITION 1/2 are not required for the M695. The positions occupied on the control panel by these switches or potentiometers will be covered over. The covers, and instructions for fitting them, accompany the control unit.
From March 1995 onwards, only the MEL61/62 control unit will be used for the M680 and M695. The previously-used MEL64/65 control unit will no longer be manufactured.
Modification of the is required if both of the following conditions are met: lamp-conbol PCB
1.The MEL64/65 control unit is replaced by an MEL61/62
2.The M695 was despatched before March 1993. The lamp control PCB therefore bears an earlier index than C.
Under these conditions the hand-/footswitches will not react at the control input A or B respectively, depending on the position of the switch "Position 1/2".
Modification: On the soldered side, bridge pins 10 and 12 of P20 with a 100 Ω resistor (1/8W). The resistor shall not come into contact with the housing cover.

Description of functions
MEL64/65 control unit
The description is subdivIded for the main groups:
•Control unit MEL64/65 - Section 5
•Swingarm MSV136/137 - Section 6
•M695 microscope - Section 7
The control circuits for zoom, focusing and XY-gear
are located partly in the control unit and partly in the microscope itself. Their functions are described in the following sections 5 and 7.
The swingarm cable
is the electrical link between the control unit and the microscope, and is therefore the ideal place to start looking for faults at the level of the main groups.
The test box is introduced between the swingarm and the microscope. It can be used to study the supply voltages, control signals and control levels, all of which are transmitted through the swingarm cable. Section 6 includes a list of these signals.
