Movement of the System
The system is assembled and set up by qualified service personnel. Avoid moving the system for this may deviate the
optical adjustments. Consult Olympus when you wish to move the system. If the system is moved by the customer,
Olympus will not assume liabilities for the system malfunctions and damage that may result.
Disposal of the System
1. The laser tube used in the system should be disposed of according to your local industrial waste disposal regulations. If
disposal by you is forbidden, please contact Olympus.
2. The mercury burner used in the illumination of the system should be disposed of according to your local industrial waste
disposal regulations.
Handling Precautions
1. After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen that is accompanied with a potential of
infection, clean the parts coming in contact with the specimen to prevent infection.
· Moving this product is accompanied with the risk of dropping the specimen. Be sure to remove the specimen before
moving this product.
· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly take the infection prevention measures.
· The product becomes unstable if its height is increased by an accessory mounted on it. In this case, take
anti-toppling measures to prevent the specimen from being dropped when the product topples down.
2. The system is composed of precision equipment. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.
3. Do not bend or pull excessively or step on the fiber cable, for this may degrade the performance considerably.
4. When the reflected light source is turned off, do not turn it again for at lease 10 minutes. Otherwise, the service life of the
mercury burner may be reduced.
5. Do not apply cool air from an air conditioner, etc., to the laser beam. Otherwise, the operation may become unstable.
6. To avoid destruction of the laser tube, absolutely avoid causing condensation in it. When the laser tube has been left
under a cold environment for a long period, condensation by avoided by not starting to warm the operation room until the
laser operation has started.
7. When a laser is not used for more than a month, it should be subjected to idle operation (aging) for more than 8
continuous hours at least every month. Otherwise, the laser oscillation may become unstable, causing sudden stopping
of oscillation during operation or shortening of service life.
8. The laser-cooling fans output warm winds through the air outlets. Do not place an object that is flammable or non-
resistant to heat near an air outlet. Leave a space of 50 cm or more in front of each air outlet to facilitate heat ventilation.
(Overheating of laser tube may make the laser oscillation unstable, causing sudden stopping of oscillation during
operation. The rise in the equipment internal temperature may also cause malfunction or failure.)
9. As cooling fans are installed at the front and rear of the laser power supply, this should be installed by leaving spaces of
30 cm or more from the surrounding walls so as not to block ventilation from the cooling fans as well as from the splits
on the top and side panels. Do not leave an object such as documents or a book on the top of the laser power supply,
for this may cause overheating, which leads to sudden stopping of laser oscillation due to activation of the protection
circuitry.
. Install the system so that the power supply to the system can be shut down easily by switching the power switch or
unplugging the power cord from the power outlet. Also, the power supply for the system should be positioned in a place
allowing easy shutdown of the power supply.
