ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

TABLE MOUNTING

1. Remove the power supply assembly from the carton, and fix it firmly to the table using the

G-clamp knob. Use hand tightening only to fix the assembly in place – use of a spanner or
pliers to tighten the screw may strip the thread or produce excessive deflection in the clamp.

2. Move the safety clamp up the pillar to the desired height of the fixed arm, and lock it in

place with the thumbscrew.

3. Remove the arm assembly from the carton and loosen the elbow lock knob to allow the

pantograph arm to rotate about the end of the fixed arm. Then place the arm on the pillar so
that it rests on the safety clamp.

4. Remove the head assembly from the carton and place the pin into the collet at the end of the

pantograph arm. Tighten the wrist lock knob under the collet to secure the head assembly in
place.

5. Connect the lamphouse cable to the socket located on the top of the power supply box.

6. Connect the mains cable to the IEC socket located on the under-side of the power supply

box. Use the cable-retaining clip to secure the plug in place. Connect the other end of the
mains cable to a reliable EARTHED mains power supply.

7. Check the setting of the voltage selector located on the under-side of the power supply box.

If necessary, change the setting to 120 or 240V as required, using a flat-head screwdriver or
coin. Severe damage to the power supply may result if this is incorrectly set.

8. Switch on the mains power supply at the mains socket. When the ON/OFF switch is

selected to ON, the power supply indicator on the switch will light up.

9. Remove the microscope eyepiece blanks from the head assembly and insert the eyepieces.

Retain the eyepiece blanks in the eyepiece packaging for when the microscope is repacked.
Do not discard the eyepiece blanks.

10. When focusing the microscope, look with the right eye through the right eyepiece first and

use the focus knob or foot control to bring a target into focus at the preferred magnification.
Then look through the left eyepiece with the left eye and adjust the dial to compensate for
any relative refractive error between the eyes.

11. Remove two focus knob covers from the bag inside the carton. Push them into position on

to the focus knobs on either side of the microscope.

CAUTION:

• Scan Optics recommend that ALL packaging materials be retained by the user in a safe

place, in case of future transit needs.

• All covers are intended to be sterilised before any operating procedures.

• The mains power supply must have a protective earth conductor. If there in no earth

conductor, or if the integrity of the earth conductor arrangement is in doubt, the equipment
must be operated from a 12Vdc power source.
