Assembly
1Remove the body of the microscope and place it on a sturdy, dust-free surface. Remove the plastic plugs in the nose piece. Install the objectives in such a way that when you turn the nosepiece clockwise, you are moving from the 4x,
2Remove the microscope head from the Styrofoam carton and pull off the protective covers from the eyepiece tubes and head mount. Insert the head mount into the upper arm of the body. Using the head retention screw, secure the head in place. Note: Do not over-tighten.
3Insert the 10x eyepieces.
4For protection during shipping your Rev III is shipped with the stage locked in low position. To disengage the lock, pull the STAGE LOCK LEVER towards the rear and downward. The stage should now move upward freely.
5Attach the power cord.
Lamp Replacement
*Halogen only
Caution: Unplug the microscope and let it cool down if recently in use before opening the base of the microscope. When handling a new quartz lamp, be careful not to touch the new lamp with your fingers. Oil and sweat on the bulb may cause it to explode or shatter as it heats up.
Turn the scope on its side. (We recommend that you place a cushion or soft cloth under the microscope to protect against damage.) Loosen the silver thumb screw located on the lamp compartment door until the door swings open. Gently pull the old bulb out and discard.
Using a lint-free tissue or piece of cloth to hold the new lamp, install the bulb. Close and lock the bulb door, and plug the microscope in to the appropriate AC outlet. Ensure that the new bulb is perfectly centered below the lens assembly by turning the light on to the dimmest setting and looking upward through the vent holes in the bulb door.
Power
The circuit board, in the base of the unit, contains all the electrical functions. There are no user repairable parts on the circuit board. If you suspect a faulty board, call LW Scientific’s technical service department at 800-726-7345.
INPUT: AC 110 or 220 / 50-60 HZ.
OUTPUT: 12v output supports from 20w quartz halogen G-4 bulb (LWS replacement part R3P-BLBH-1220)
FUSE: One 0.5-amp fuse protects the circuit board from electrical overload. The fuse is located on the bottom of the scope. Spare fuses were included with your scope. When replacing the fuse, always install a new one of the same size and amperage.
