As long as you keep the selector switch in the turned position, the lifting
column moves downward (3) or upward (4), depending on the switch po-
sition. When you release the selector switch, the lifting column stops im-
mediately.
The switching technology causes a delay of approx. 2 seconds at the
upper and lower end positions of the lifting column. After this time, you
can move the column in the opposite direction again by activating the se-
lector switch.
The lifting column is used to move the microscope into position for sur-
gery prior to the surgical procedure.
Do not constantly move the lifting column up and down, since otherwise
a thermal cut-out will automatically deactivate the drive motor. If this oc-
curs, the lifting column cannot be moved until the motor has cooled
down.
Note: With a maximum activation time of one minute, the lift column
must be turned off for at least nine minutes because the motor of the lift
column might overheat otherwise.
Injury to the patient!
• Do not activate the lifting column during surgery!
• Do not use the lifting column for focusing.
• When using a fundus viewing system which is installed between the sur-
gical microscope and the patient, make sure that the patient is neither
put at risk nor injured:
– by the motorized movement of the lifting column,
– by the motorized focusing system,
– by the movement of the suspension arm.
