If you are using the TIRF illuminator unit or the
motorized TIRF illuminator unit, the motorized shutter
will not open unless the laser safety cover is attached
on the stage. Make sure it is attached in the prescribed
position.
1. Place the laser safety cover body on the stage,
and secure it by tightening the 4 screws with the
Allen wrench.
2. Connect the laser safety cover's cable to the
safety-cover connector of the TI-LUSU shutter
unit.
3. Attach the cover on top of the body.
The interlock will close the motorized shutter of
the laser unit if the cover is removed during use.
* In the case of the photo activation illuminator unit,
you must attach a specimen cover on the stage
when using episcopic illumination or laser light.
* Touching the interlocking part or getting it wet could
cause it to malfunction.
Using an Allen wrench, screw the light shielding plate
onto the eyepiece tube.
