Lamp And Lamphouse Installation And Removal (Lamp Replacement) - Nikon ECLIPSE E600 Instructions Manual

CAUTION + To prevent electrical shock and damage to the microscope, always turn off the
power switch (flip it to the " :" side) and unplug the power cord when connect-
ing or disconnecting the lamphouse.
+ To prevent burns, allow the lamp and lamphouse to cool before replacing it for
at least 30 minutes after using.
* Use the Nikon C-LP HALOGEN 12V-100W model for the lamphouse.
* Use a 12 V-100 W LONGLIFE halogen lamp (OSRAM HLX 64623 or PHILIPS
7724).
* Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp with your bare hands. Doing so will
cause fingerprints, grease, etc., to burn onto the lamp surface, reducing the illu-
mination provided by the lamp. If you do get any fingerprints or dirt on the
lamp, wipe it clean.
* After replacing the lamp, make sure that the lamphouse cover is attached se-
curely. Never use the lamphouse while its cover is off.
Clamp lever
Check that the power switch is off (i.e., that it is flipped to the " " side).
If the lamphouse is mounted on the microscope, use a hexagonal screwdriver to loosen the
lamphouse clamp screw, and then remove the lamphouse from the microscope (the screw is
on the top of the lamphouse mount).
3 Use a hexagonal screwdriver to loosen the clamp screw on the front of the lamphouse and
remove the lamphouse cover.
4 While pressing the lamp clamp lever, push the lamp into the socket pin holes as far as it will
go. (Do not touch the glass portion of the lamp with your bare hands.)
5 Return the clamp lever to its original position. Make sure that the lamp is not tilted.
6 Attach the cover securely and tighten the clamp screw. Make sure that the cover is fixed in
place and will not come off even when shaken by hand.
7 Connect the lamphouse to the microscope by inserting the lamphouse plug into the lamphouse
socket.
8 Tighten the lamphouse clamp screw to secure the lamphouse in place.
