Safety Precautions
7. Ultraviolet light
WARNING
A mercury lamp radiates ultraviolet light that is harmful to the eyes and skin when the lamp is turned on. Direct
viewing of light from the lamp may result in snow blindness at a light case or blindness at the worst case. To
prevent injury, follow the guidelines below:
• Use a filter or a collector lens with UV cut specification in the optical path of the microscope or the
illuminator unless UV excitation light is necessary for epi-fl microscopy.
• When performing the epi-fl microscopy by using the UV excitation light, attach the filter cube dedicated to
the UV excitation light. And then, if you must see the objective or its surroundings, be sure to see through
the ultraviolet light shield.
8. For safety
While the mercury lamp is lit, it emits the very strong light beam, which includes ultraviolet light and is harmful to
human eyes and skin, through the light guide fiber connected to the product. The beam is so intense that there
are possibilities of danger, such as fire or burn, and especially, leading to blindness if one sees the beam directly.
In order to avoid an accident, the following instructions must be always observed:
• Attach the light guide fiber to the microscope before turning on the lamp.
While the mercury lamp is lit, it is strictly prohibited that removing the light guide fiber from the microscope
or looking into the light guide fiber tip.
• Before removing the light guide fiber from the product, turn off the lamp.
Also, before removing the light guide fiber from the microscope, turn off the lamp.
• Before turning on the power of the product, connect the light guide fiber correctly.

Safety Precautions
9. Mercury lamp (HG lamp) burst and gas leak
WARNING
If the lamp is scratched or used over the life, the lamp may burst or gas may leak from the lamp.
If the lamp bursts, the broken glass may be scattered and hurt human beings and/or the product. Besides, the
gas inside the lamp (vaporized mercury and Ar inert gas) is released into the air bringing about the danger of
inhaling the gas. To avoid these dangers and to cope effectively with these abnormal situations, please read
the articles below before using the product. For details about the lamp handling, refer to page 7, "3. When
handling mercury lamp" and follow the instructions.
• The inorganic mercury is said to be less harmful and less absorbed by human beings than the organic
mercury (methyl mercury), but sill is harmful and an utmost care is needed in handling them.
• If the lamp bursts or the gas leaks, all the personnel must immediately leave the room so as not to inhale
the mercury vapor. Further, thoroughly ventilate the room for at least 30 minutes.
• If you happen to inhale the mercury vapor, immediately rinse your mouth and throat with a plenty amount
of water. If mercury or mercury vapor contacts on your skin or gets into your eyes, wash it off with a plenty
amount of water likewise. If you feel sick, or notice any sign of illness, please at once consult your doctor.
• Before cleaning up the mess, wait till the lamp and the surrounding parts cool down.
• To gather the scattered liquid mercury, use a special material for absorbing the mercury (available from vendors
handling experimental materials). Dispose of them as the special industrial waste or dispose of them according
to the laws or rules of your local waste system.
• Pick up the broken pieces of glass with the greatest care so as not to cut your fingers. Put the broken
pieces of glass in a hard container and dispose of them as the special industrial waste or dispose of them
according to the laws or rules of your local waste system.
• Because safety is a top priority in the design of Nikon products, the hazards described above should not
pose any danger as long as you heed all of the warnings and cautions in the manuals and use the system
only for its intended purpose. However, the hazards described above could lead to an accident if you fail to
heed all of the warnings and cautions in the manuals, if you strike the system, or if you attempt to
disassemble the system. Therefore, always be sure to heed all of the warnings and cautions.
• If the lamp bursts, contact your nearest Nikon representative immediately. Never continue to use the
product in "as is" condition, because some glass shreds may remain in the product.

IV Troubleshooting
Safety protection circuit
This equipment is provided with a safety protection circuit. The safety protection circuit is activated in the following cases:
• The lamp replace cover plate is opened.
• The temperature around the lamp rises abnormally.
• The number of revolutions of the cooling fan for the lamp mounted in the equipment drops below a predetermined
level.
• The number of revolutions of the cooling fan mounted on the rear panel drops below the predetermined level.
If the safety protection circuit is activates, the following procedures are performed: the mercury lamp turns off, the lamp
indicator turns off, and the power indicator flashes. For C-HGFIE (motorized type illuminator), an electronic sound beeps
and the ND indicator on the HG controller displays the detected problem. (See the followings.)
Indication of detected abnormality (only for C-HGFIE)
In case of C-HGFIE (motorized type illuminator), when the safety protection circuit is activated, one of 1, 2, 4, or 8 ND
indicators on the HG controller lights up to indicate the cause of the problem.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning optical parts
Do not let dust, fingerprint, and such get on the tip of the light guide fiber. Dirt will adversely affect the view of image. If
the tip of the light guide fiber gets dirty, clean it as described below.
• Brush away dust with a soft brush, or else gently wipe it off with gauze.
• Only if there are fingerprints or grease, dampen lightly a piece of soft, clean cotton cloth, lens tissue, or gauze with
absolute alcohol (ethyl or methyl) and gently wipe off the dirt.
• Do not use any organic solvent other than absolute alcohol. The light guide fiber joint surface may be degraded.
• Absolute alcohol is highly flammable. Be careful when handling around open flames and when turning the power
switch on/off, and so on.
• Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when using absolute alcohol.
Cleaning painted components
• Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, or paint thinner. Doing so may result in discoloration of painted
components or plastic components or in peeling of printed letters.
• We recommend that you use a piece of silicon cloth to clean the equipment.
• For persistent dirt, dampen a piece of gauze with neutral detergent and wipe gently.
Cleaning the fan
The filter for the cooling fan on the back of the equipment may be clogged with dust and dirt. (See the figures on P. 10
and 11.) Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner periodically.

Shutter control by external signal
C-HGFIE (motorized type illuminator) has a connector to control opening/closing of the shutter by external equipment.
You can use an external switch box, PC and so on, to control the shutter and to read the shutter status.
To use the shutter control signal I/O connector, connect signals according to the description below.
Connector pin configuration
For the equipment side connector, a 3.5 mm diameter audio mini-stereo jack is adopted. Follow the instruction
below to make the connection.
1: GND Ground
2: EX-SHT-IN Shutter control signal input
3: EX-SHT-OUT Shutter control signal output
Connector circuit
diagram
Usage
1. Opening/closing of the shutter
Making a short circuit between the pin No. 2 (EXT-SHT-IN) and
No.1 (GND) performs switching of the shutter opening/closing.
By connecting a momentary type switch, the shutter status can
be switched every time the switch is pressed.
Or, the shutter opening/closing is also possible by TTL level
logical input. In this case, the shutter status is switched at every
fall edge (from high to low) of a signal.
Signal
input
Control
signal
The input signal terminal is configured to
feed the signal to the Schmidt trigger inverter
through a 10 kΩ resistor.
2. Shutter status read-out
The pin No.3 (EXT-SHT-OUT) outputs the open collector output
of the transistor. The transistor is ON when the shutter is open,
and OFF when it is closed.
