The Leica M525 OH4 surgical microscope may be connected to a grounded socket only.

Connect the power cable.Switch on the microscope.

Switch on the illumination at the control unit.

Leave the illumination on for at least 5 minutes, as otherwise luminosity will decrease rapidly.

Replace defective bulbs before the operation begins.Test all functions on the CAN handles and on the footswitch.Check the user settings on the control unit for the selected

user (see page 45).

Positioning at the OP table

Position the surgical microscope on the OP table as required, and lock the footbrake (see page 35).

Sterility

Fit sterile components and sterile drape if used (see page 36).

Warning 2

Danger of fatal electric shock

Operate the system only with all equipment in its proper position (all covers fitted, doors closed).

Preparation for operation

Installing optical accessories

Warning 3

Risk of injury through surgical microscope moving down!

Complete all preparations and adjustments to the stand before the operation.

Never balance or re-equip the instrument over the field of operation.

Always lock the Leica M525 OH4 in position before reequipping it.

Balance the Leica M525 OH4 after re-equipping it.Do not release the brakes when the instrument is in an

unbalanced state.

Locking the Leica M525 OH4 in position

The D-axis of the Leica M525 OH4 is locked in position with the locking device.

The locking device is principally for installation and re-equipping the Leica M525 OH4.

Pull out the locking buttons (1 and 2) and turn them until the two points (arrows) are aligned above each another.

Preparation for operation

Setting the tube

Set the interpupillary distance

Adjust the interpupillary distance to a value between 55mm and 75mm.

Using the adjusting wheel (1), set the interpupillary distance such that a circular image field can be seen.

This procedure has to be performed only once for each user.

The acquired value (2) can be stored for each user on the "User

Settings" menu screen under "Tube Settings" (see page 51).

Adjusting the tilt

Hold the tube with both hands.Tilt the tube up or down.

Preparation for operation

Setting the eyepiece

Determine/set the diopters for the user

The individual diopters can be adjusted continuously for each eyepiece from +5 to -5. Only this method will ensure that the image will stay in focus within the entire zoom range = parfocal. The treatment microscope ensures a high degree of fatigue resistance when the diopter setting is correct for both eyes.

A parfocal adjusted microscope ensures that the assistant´s view and monitor image will always remain sharp.

Set to the minimum magnification.

Place a flat test object with sharp contours under the lens at working distance.

Focus the microscope.

Set to the maximum magnification.

Focus the microscope.

Set to the minimum magnification

Rotary ring for adjusting the diopters

Without looking into the eyepieces, turn both eye lenses to +5 diopters.

Slowly turn the eyepieces towards -5 individually for each eye until the test object appears sharp.

Select the highest magnification and check the sharpness.

This procedure has to be performed only once for each user. The acquired values can be stored for each user on the "User Settings" menu screen under "Tube Settings" (see page 51).

Adjusting the pupillary distance

Eyecup

Rotate the eyecups up or down until the desired distance is set.

Checking parfocality

Place a flat test object with sharp contours under the lens at working distance.

Zoom through the whole range, observing the test object. The image sharpness must remain constant at all magnifications. If this is not the case, check diopter settings of the eyepieces.

Installing documentation accessories

Fitting the Leica 2D

See user manual Leica 2D (10708979).

Fitting the photo/TV dual attachment

Install the dual attachment on the beam splitter.

Equip the video camera (1) with the TV objective (2) and insert into the dual attachment.

Tighten the clamping screw.

Loosen the clamping screw and engage the video camera until it engages in one of the 45° increments depending on the available space.

Tighten the clamping screw.

Equip the photo camera (5) with camera adapter (4).Screw the photo lens onto the camera adapter (4).Fit the camera to the dual attachment.

Tighten the clamping screw.
