3 Preparation For Use And Operation
3.1 Installation
Installing the M 517HD Series camera to the microscope requires a C-mount camera adapter and beamsplitter.
These items are sold separately. Global’s patented virtual beamsplitter is the beamsplitter of choice as it will
provide excellent video depth of eld with minimal light loss to the user.
1. If the beamsplitter and/or the C-mount camera adapter have not been attached to the microscope, install
them now.
2. Thread the M 517HD camera onto the C-mount camera adapter until it is secure.
3. Route and connect power and video cables. Typical wire conguration is illustrated in Figure 3-1. Route
cables through arms in such a way that they are not likely to be pinched or stretched or otherwise dam-
aged. Microscope arm covers may have to be removed to route cables.
4. Neatly bundle external cables by using the supplied cable ties and sleeving as needed for cable
management.
5. Plug the camera power supply into an AC outlet.

Section 3 Installation Instructions
3-2
1. Turn the HD-ready display on and select the proper HDMI source input for display.
2. Turn the microscope light source on.
3. Position and focus the microscope over an object. The object should be displayed on the
monitor. If the image is not displayed, refer to “Troubleshooting” in Section 6.
4. If the image is not oriented properly on the monitor (straight up), slightly loosen either the C- mount coupler
or the C-mount camera adapter and then rotate the camera for proper orientation. Once the image orienta-
tion is correct, tighten the C-mount coupler until secure. See Figure 3-2 for rotation adjustment locations.
5. Important! Do not skip this step. Perform the “Par-Focal Procedure” per the microscope owner’s
manual to ensure the video image and binocular image have the same focus.
6. Refer to “Operation” paragraph 4.1 for use. The camera power supply should be disconnected from the AC
outlet if the M 517HD camera is not going to be used for extended periods of time.
Figure 3-2. Rotation Adjustment Locations

Section 4 Operating Instructions
4-1
4.1 Operation
Follow the steps below after installation of the M 517HD camera. It is recommended to inspect cable condition
and routing before each use of the microscope.
1. Turn on the HD-ready display and microscope light source.
2. Apply power to the M 517HD camera by plugging the power supply into an AC outlet.
3. Perform WHITE BALANCE (paragraph 4.1.1) if the video image color does not seem accurate.
4. Perform IMAGE FLIP (paragraph 4.2.1) if the video image is reversed.
5. The camera power supply should be disconnected from the AC outlet if the M 517HD camera is not going
to be used for an extended period of time.
4.1.1 White Balance
Color accuracy is an important property of image quality. Cameras interpret the color of an object by
measuring the amount of red, green and blue light from the object. A white object will have equal amounts of
red, green and blue light. However, each light source emits di󰀨erent amounts of each color creating a specic
color temperature. The WHITE BALANCE procedure allows the camera to measure and adjust for the color
temperature of the light source.
1. Ensure the microscope light source is on.
2. Place a white sheet of paper under the objective lens to ll the M 517HD camera eld of view.
3. Press and release the on-camera push-button to set the white balance. If necessary, adjust the
color settings of the HD-ready display.
4.2.1 Image Flip
Di󰀨erent camera adapters my or may not optically ip (reverse) an image. This feature allows the M 517HD
camera to be used on a variety of adapters.
1. Press and hold the on-camera push-button until the image ips, then release the button. The hold time is
approximately 3 to 5 seconds.
NOTE
!This camera does not have a power “On / O󰀨” switch. The camera will be “On” when the power
supply is plugged in and all power cables are attached to the camera.

Section 5 Care and Maintenance
5-1
WARNING DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRICAL POWER PRIOR TO CLEANING AND
DISINFECTING. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK RESULTING IN DEATH OR INJURY
IS POSSIBLE IF THE ELECTRICAL POWER IS NOT DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO
CLEANING THE UNIT.
NOTE
!Clean and disinfect after every patient according to CDC and OSHA requirements for
non-critical devices.
5 Maintenance
The M 517HD Series has no consumable parts (i.e. fuses, lters, etc.) to replace. The only necessary
maintenance includes cleaning (paragraph 5.1) and cable management (paragraph 5.2.) Any other
maintenance or service should be performed by qualied service personnel (see section 7 for service.)
Cleaning should be performed as needed. Cable management should be performed before each use of the
microscope.
5.1 Cleaning

1. Ensure all cables are free from defects. Replace damaged cables immediately.
2. Route all cables in such a way that they are not likely to be pinched or stretched or otherwise damage
3. Neatly bundle cables by using the supplied cable ties and sleeving as needed.
4. Ensure all cable connections are secure.
WARNING
!DO NOT USE AN AEROSOL SPRAY DIRECTLY ON THE M 517HD CAMERA. SPRAY
MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND/OR DAMAGE TO INTERNAL CIRCUITS
