Always use the power cord provided by Olympus.
If the proper power cord is not used, the electric safety and the EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) performance of
the device cannot be assured.
If no power cord is provided, please select the proper power cord by referring to the section “Proper selection of the
power supply cord” at the end of this instruction manual.
Always connect the ground terminal.
Connect the ground terminal of the power cord and that of the power outlet. If the device is not grounded, our
intended electric safety and EMC performance of the device can not be assured.
Do not use the device in close proximity to the sources of strong electromagnetic radiation.
Proper operation may be interfered. The electromagnetic environment should be evaluated prior to operation of this
device.
Remove the power cord in case of emergency.
In case of emergency, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power cord connector on the product or from the
wall power outlet. Install the product at the location where you can reach the power cord connector or the wall power
outlet at hand to remove the power cord quickly.
Be sure to turn OFF the power of the device before connecting /disconnecting cables and units.
This device is designed for use in Class A industrial environment for IEC61326-1 International Standard concerning EMC.
Using it in a domestic environment may cause radio interference.
This device complies with the emission and immunity requirements described in IEC61326 series.
CAUTION - Electric safety -
Do not insert any tools or metal fragments in the air vents of the device.
Doing so could cause electric shock or failure of the product.
Do not bend, pull or tie the power cord/cables in a bundle.
Otherwise they could be damaged, causing a fire or an electric shock.
Remove the power cord from the product when replacing the fuses.
To avoid electric shock hazards when replacing the fuses, turn the main switch to “ \ ”(OFF), then remove the power
cord from the product in advance.
Applicable fuses: | T5 A H 250 V (LITTELFUSE 0215005.MXP)
For procedures to replace the fuse, refer to “Measuring microscope STM7 instruction manual”.

·This product is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to a sudden or severe
impact.
·Never disassemble any part of the product. Otherwise, failure could be caused.
·Do not use the system in areas where it may be subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and/or
humidity, dust or vibrations.
(For the operating environmental condition such as temperature and/or humidity, see “1 Specifications”
(page 4).
Avoid using the instrument in the following places.
(1) Near an inlet or exhaust outlet of air conditioning equipment, etc.
(2) In a place subjected to large vibrations or change in temperature.
(3) Near equipment producing abnormal noise (including non-Olympus equipment)
(4) In a place subjected to direct sunlight.
(5) In a place subjected to excessive dirt or high temperature and humidity.
(6) Near flammable substance (gasoline, lacquer thinner, alcohol, etc.)
·Do not block the air vents of the control box, keep a space of 10 cm or more between the right/left/
back sides and the surrounding objects.
1. Install the control box horizontally.
Installing it vertically could cause it to fail from excessive heat.
2. After the DIP switch is set, be sure to attach the seal at the original position.
3. Set the DIP switch when the main switch is “ \ “ (OFF), and then set the main switch to “ ” (ON).
(If the DIP switch is set when the main switch is “ ” (ON), the setting is not reflected.)
4. Do not touch the connector pins of modules with your hands directly.
The modules may be damaged by static.
5. Do not remove the caps or seals attached to the unused connectors.
If you touch an insertion port with the caps or seals removed, static electricity from your body could cause devise
failure.
6. Do not connect any cable to the CAN1 or CAN2 connector of the control box for manual STM7-CB.
7. Do not connect the autofocus unit MM6C-AF for measuring microscope STM6 to the AF connector of the control
box for motorized STM7-CBA.
CAUTION
Handling precautions
1. Do not use organic solvents, which cause painted and plastic parts to deteriorate. Do not use organic solvents
to clean device components other than the glass components. To clean them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly
moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
2. Before disposing of this product, be sure to follow the regulations and rules of your local government.
