When changing the lamp, it is not necessary to
remove the microscope from the ergonomic
base plate (in the event the base plate is being
used).
4.2.2 Changing the 6 V, 20 W
halogen lamp
Do not touch the lamp bulb with your bare
hands; if required, clean the bulb with clean
alcohol before switching it on for the first time
to prevent dirt from burning in.
The following procedure is required to
exchange the lamp:
• Switch off lamp supply via on/off switch
and allow lamp to cool down for approx.
15 minutes.
• Disconnect the earth-contact plug from the
line and remove the flat plug from the
instrument connector.
• Place the disconnected instrument on its
back to make the underside of the pyramid
stand accessible.
• Fold down cover (4-2/2) and pull out
defective halogen lamp (4-2/1).
• Use the protective cover to hold the new
6 V, 20 W halogen lamp and insert both
lamp pins carefully into the receptacles.
☞
The Axiostar plus microscope is supplied
with factory-aligned illumination. In general,
the illumination need not be adjusted even
when the lamp is exchanged by the
customer.
• Fold up cover again, return the stand to the
upright position and reconnect the stand to
the line.
