Know Before Use A15.1091

Ⅰ.Safety signs

The following signs are on the microscope. Find out what these symbols mean and always use the

microscope in the safest way.

Ⅱ.Safety precautions

1. Care should be taken when opening the box, to prevent the lens glass stick to fingerprints, sweat

stains and other impact observation, to prevent the lens and other accessories fall damage.

2. Avoid placing the microscope in areas with direct sunlight, high or high humidity, dust, and

vulnerability to strong vibrations, ensuring that the stage is flat, horizontal and strong enough.

3. When a moving microscope is required, one hand hooks into the slot above the rack and one

hand holds the front bottom of the frame.

4. If a bacterial solution or water is splashed on a load station, objective or observation tube,

immediately pull out the power cord and dry the solution or water to ensure that the microscope is

dry. Otherwise, it is possible to damage the instrument.

5. To avoid blocking natural convection air for cooling, make sure that the left, right, top, and

back of the microscope are at least 10 cm from walls and other objects.

6. Ground the unit to avoid lightning strikes.

7. To ensure safety, make sure that the main switch is in an"O"(off) state and that the power is

switched off while waiting for the bulb and light chamber to cool down completely before

replacing the halogen lamp or fuse. Input voltage check: The input voltage indicated on the back

of the microscope is consistent with the supply voltage, otherwise it will cause serious damage to

the microscope.

8. Use the special wires provided by the Company.

Sign

Ⅲ.Maintenance and maintenance

1. All lenses are tuned and do not disassemble themselves.

2. Objective converter and coarse micro-focusing mechanism, the structure is precise, please do

not easily disassemble.

3. The instrument should be kept clean, dust removed every day, clean should pay special

attention not to contaminate optics, objective lenses every other month to ask professionals to

clean.

4. Smudges on the lens, such as fingerprints and grease, can be wiped with a small amount of

ether (70%) and alcohol (30%) mixed solution on the lens paper.

Solvents such as ether and alcohol are highly flammable, do not carry out a variety of

electrical equipment power switch operation, at the same time can not approach the

open fire, please ensure indoor ventilation.

5. Do not use organic solvents to wipe non-optics of the microscope, if cleaning, use a neutral

detergent.

6. When using, if the microscope is wet with liquid, cut off the power supply immediately and

dry it.

7. Never disassemble any part of the microscope, which can affect the function of the

microscope or reduce the performance of the microscope.

8. The instrument should be placed in a cool, dry place, when the microscope is not used, the

use of a dust cover. Be sure to wait for the light chamber to cool down before the cover is on.

9. The environmental requirements for the use of microscopes:

a）Indoor use；

b）Ambient temperature range：10℃~35℃；

c）Maximum relative humidity: 80% when the temperature reaches 31℃,70% When the

temperature is reduced linearly to 34℃,60% the temperature reaches 37℃,5 0%When the

temperature reaches 40℃.

10. Microscope storage and transport environment requirements:

a）Ambient temperature range：-40℃~+70℃

b) Relative humidity range:10% to 100%.

c) Air pressure range:500hpa-1060hp

Warning:

Failure to operate the microscope in the manner specified in this manual may

compromise the safety of the user. In addition, the microscope may be damaged. The

microscope should always be operated in accordance with this instruction.

◎This microscope does not cause radiation, electromagnetic interference, etc. To

the surrounding environment, in accordance with UL certification standards.

This manual practically the following symbols label prominent text:

The indication that the warning stake in this instruction manual will result in

personal injury to the operator and/or damage to the instrument (including objects

near the instrument).

★indicates that failure to follow this instruction will cause damage to the instrument.

S s indicates a comment (to operate and maintain at easy.
