1 Notes on Safety
1.1General
Please make yourself familiar with the contents of these operating instructions before attaching and starting up the N HBO 103 and N XBO 75 microscope illuminators. Additional information is available from our maintenance service or from authorized agencies.
The N HBO 103 and N XBO 75 microscope illuminators should be used with Zeiss microscopes exclusively.
The N HBO 103 and N XBO 75 microscope illuminators may only be handled by trained personnel.
To ensure that the illuminators function properly with the microscope, the appropriate microscope manual must be observed.
The manuals
"ebq 100 dc – Electronic transformer for the N HBO 103 microscope illuminator“ and
"ebx 75 isolated – Electronic transformer for the N XBO 75 microscope illuminator“
must be observed.
Special regard must be paid to the notes on instrument safety included in this manual.
The data sheets from the lamp manufacturers must be observed when the HBO 103 and XBO 75 lamps are operated.
To guarantee the safe operation and function of the N HBO 103 and N XBO 75 microscope illuminators, it is necessary under any circumstances to take the precaution measures and observe the warnings contained in the operating instructions.
The following symbols are used for the warnings:
CAUTION!
Non-observance of the safety notes constitutes a hazard for the user.
CAUTION!
Dangerous electrical voltage
CAUTION!
Disconnect the instrument from the line before opening it!
CAUTION!
Hot surface
CAUTION!
Non-observance of the safety notes constitutes the risk of damage to the instrument.
NOTE!
Notes which must be observed when using the N HBO 103 and N XBO 75 microscope illuminators.
1.2Regulations concerning Instrument Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The N HBO 103 and N XBO 75 microscope illuminators have been designed and tested in compliance with EN 61010, Part 1 (VDE 0411). From the safety viewpoint, they left the factory in a perfect state.
They meet the requirements of EC directives 73/23 and 89/336 and the EMC legislation, version of Nov.9, 1992.
Radio-screened in accordance with EN 55011, Class B, insensitivity to noise in accordance with EN 50082-2.
Compliance with the EC directives mentioned is documented by the CE-certificate.

1.3 Notes on Unpacking, |
1.4 Hints on Use |
Transport and Storage |
|
The lamps, especially the XBO 75, are under high pressure even if they are not switched on. They may therefore be removed from the package only if the protection mask (Cat.No. 417009) and the safety gloves with artery protection (Cat. No. 417008) are worn.
The XBO 75 has an additional plastic protection sleeve which must not be removed when the lamp is unpacked!
For safety reasons, a safety holder is inserted in the microscope illuminator instead of the bulb during transport.
Both the N HBO 103 and N XBO 75 microscope illuminators and the HBO 103 and XBO 75 lamps must be transported in their original packaging.
This packaging and the plastic protection sleeve of the XBO 75 must be kept for storage and disposal.
The transport and storage temperatures must be observed in the same way as those of the microscope stands.
−The lamps, especially the XBO 75, are under high pressure even if they are not switched on.
They may only be inserted in the microscope illuminator if a safety mask and safety gloves (see chapter 1.3) are worn.
The safety regulations of the lamp manufacturer must be observed when the XBO 75 is inserted.
−The HBO 103 and XBO 75 lamps are under high pressure during operation; they must always be opereated in closed lamp housings!
−The light of the HBO 103 and XBO 75 shortarc lamps contains a high amount of UV
light:
Never look directly into the lamp or in reflected light
Wear safety glasses (sunglasses) when operating the lamps
Cover inspection openings with filters
−The UV radiation of the lamps produces harmful ozone.
This gas must be carried off to the outside via exhauster tubes and the working room supplied with fresh air.
−Both the N HBO 103 and N XBO 75 microscope illuminators and the HBO 103 and XBO 75 lamps must be protected from impact and humidity.
Instead of the HBO 103, its predecessor HBO 100 can also be used.

1.5Hints on Maintenance and Care
To enable the microscope illuminators to function perfectly, it is necessary to use only components and spares marketed or admitted by us. When in doubt, please contact our service staff.
With the exception of the work described in this manual, the user must not perform any repairs or changes himself.
We would like to emphasize that all other changes and repairs must be performed by specially authorized personnel.
Defective instruments or components may only be repaired and maintained by our service department.
−After expiry of the average operating time
(see data sheets from the lamp manufacturers), the lamps must be exchanged; there is a risk of explosion! The operating time of the HBO 103 and XBO 75 can be checked on the counter of the relevant transformer.
(Fig. 5/Fig. 8)
The intensity of the lamps decreases when the operating time increases, i.e. homogeneous illumination of the object field can then no longer be guaranteed.
−The lamps must be exchanged as described in chapters 3.1/3.2.
−Before each lamp exchange, make sure to allow the N HBO 103 or N XBO 75 microscope illuminator to cool down sufficiently long in order to reduce the pressure; wait at least for 15 minutes!
−Always disconnect the instrument from the line before each lamp exchange or any other work inside the instrument.
−The safety regulations of the lamp manufacturer must be observed when the XBO 75 is changed.
−Check the cables of the N HBO 103 and N XBO 75 when changing the lamp.
−Clean the housing of the microscope illuminator when it is dirty.
Do not use any solvents.
Soak a cleaning cloth in a mixture of water and washing-up liquid, remove the dirt and dry the housing using a clean cloth.
1.6Hints on Disposal
Used HBO 103 and XBO 75 lamps and defective microscope illuminators should not be treated like domestic waste; they should be disposed of in their original packaging in accordance with the legal regulations.
When in doubt, please contact the Carl Zeiss microscopy service.
1.7Hints on Warranty
The instrument manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by unauthorized operation, particularly the removal and exchange of components, or the use of accessories from other manufacturers. This forfeits all the claims against warranty.
