User manual LEICA MOTOR-FOCUS SYSTEM

[. . . ] · · · · Do not fit different plugs. Do not attempt to modify the motor-focus system. Do not dismantle any part of the motor-focus system unless instructions for doing so are given in the user manual. Do not allow the motor-focus system to be opened by unauthorized personnel. Place of use The motor-focus system is intended for use only in closed rooms. [. . . ] If spilt on electrical appliances, they can: · · cause the instruments and accessories to become electrically live, endangering personnel cause damage to the equipment. Warning: Danger of crushing and other injuries When focusing, keep your fingers away from: · · the space between the motor housing and the lower stop the space between the objective and the object, the surface of the stand, the stage insert and the stage. Legal requirements Adhere to general and local regulations relating to accident prevention and environmental protection. Conformity with European Community directive The motor-focus system and its accessories are constructed in accordance with the latest technologies and are provided with a statement of conformity with EC requirements. Precautions by the manufacturer: The lower stop must be adjusted individually in accordance with the characteristics of the object (see below). Safety note Always set the lower stop correctly in relation to the object (see page 9). If it is set too low: · · · the user's hands might get crushed between the objective and the object the object might get flattened or otherwise damaged the objective might get damaged. 5 Overview 2 1 3 5 4 Components Motor-focus system on incident- or transmitted-light stand 1 Stereomicroscope 2 Stand with column and motor-focus system 3 Transformer 4 Handswitch 5 Footswitch 6 Standard PC (not illustrated) 7 Motor-focus system on large swinging-arm stand 7 Inclinable carrier rod with motor focus 6 Assembly 2b 5 EN 4 3 3 8 7 1b 2a 1a The components 1a 300mm-long column with motor-focus mechanism 1b Inclinable carrier rod with motor focus 2a Incident- or transmitted-light stand 2b Large swinging-arm stand 3 Lower stop 4 Microscope carrier 5 Optics carrier 6 Transformer (not illustrated) 7 Handswitch 8 Footswitch 9 PC interface kit (not illustrated) 7 Assembly Incident- or transmitted-light stand Column with motor-focus mechanism base of stand Using three Allen screws, secure the column to the incident- or transmitted-light base (refer to user manual for stereomicroscope or macroscope). Using the clamping screw, secure the lower stop to the column, taking the position of the object into account (see page 9). Connecting the motor focus 1 Large swinging-arm stand Fit the inclinable carrier rod to the horizontal arm in accordance with the user manual for the stereomicroscope or macroscope. Using the clamping screw, secure the lower stop to the carrier rod (see page 9). Microscope carrier column with motor-focus mechanism Using an Allen screw, secure the microscope carrier to the column of the stand (refer to user manual for stereomicroscope or macroscope). Fit the optics carrier, binocular tube and accessories to the stereomicroscope or macroscope in accordance with the user manual. Transformer Respect the directions for safety on pages 4 and 5. Technical data Type MST31 Input voltage Input frequency Input current 85 to 264 VAC 47 to 440 Hz max. 0. 50 A at 230 VAC Operating voltage 30V Operating temperature +10°C to +40°C Storage temperature ­20°C to +55°C Maximum mechanical loading 12 kg 1 Connector for transformer 2 Connector for footswitch or for PC interface kit 3 Connector for manual control Connect the transformer to the motor-focus mechanism. Connect the power cable to the electricity supply. Connect the manual control and/or footswitch. If appropriate, connect the PC interface kit instead of the footswitch. 2 3 8 Use 5 Safety measures for the stops Read the warnings on page 5. · The fixed stop (5) on the upper part of the column, and the adjustable stop (6) beneath the motor housing, limit the movement of the motor-focus system. In addition, there is an end-switch (7) on top of the motor housing and another one beneath it. If, during focusing, an end-switch touches the stop, there is a series of beeps and the movement ceases. · 7 4 Set the lower stop · so that your hands have enough room between the objective and the object, even when the motor-focus system has reached the stop so that during focusing the objective cannot press against the object and damage either objective or object. Look into the eyepiece and carefully bring the object into focus using the manual control (see page 10), the footswitch or the PC (see page 10). [. . . ] Press the black switch (12) for at least 1. 5 seconds. The storage is confirmed by two short beeps. Focus on the second point in the object and store in the same way. Focus and store up to five points in the object. [. . . ]
