IMPORTANT
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus.
2. Always ground the SZX2-RHS Hand Switch.
3. The SZX2-RHS Hand Switch incorporates high-voltage parts inside. Do not open the cover of this unit to prevent electric
shock.
4. Do not connect the SZX2-RHS Hand Switch for LED Four-Part Ring Illuminator to any devices other than the SZX2-ILR66
LED Four Part Ring Illuminator.
Notes on the LED (Light Emitting Diode) Safety
The LED built into the SZX2-ILR66 LED Four-Part Ring Illuminator is basically safe but it is discommended to stare at the
light from the LED Four-Part Ring Illuminator for a long period as this could damage your eye.
Safety Symbols
The following symbols are found on the SZX2-RHS Hand Switch. Study the meaning of the symbols, and always use the
equipment in the safest possible manner.
Symbol Explanation
Before use, carefully read the instruction manual.
Improper use could result in personal injury to the user and/or damage to the equipment.
Indicates that the main switch is ON.
Indicates that the main switch is OFF.

LED FOUR-PART RING ILLUMINATOR SYSTEM
1Getting Ready
1. The LED Four-Part Ring Illuminator System is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to sudden
or severe impact.
2. Do not use the LED Four-Part Ring Illuminator System where it may be subjected to direct sunlight, high temperatures and
humidity, dust or vibrations (for the operating environment, see Chapter 5, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 17).
3. Applicable microscopes are as follows.
SZX16
SZX10/7: Use the SZX-LGR66 adapter.
SZ61/51 series: Use the SZ-LGR66 adapter.
MVX10: Use the SZX-LGR66 adapter.
STM6 series Use the SZX-LGR66 adapter.
4. The full illumination performance cannot be manifested when an optional auxiliary objective for the SZ61/51 series or a
low-power objective for the SZX16/10 is used (see pages 13,14 for details).
5. Take the following care when using the STM6 series because measurement accuracy is affected even by slight heat
generation of the LED.
If he intensity of the illumination is expected to be changed widely (minimum maximum) when the measurement is
going to take long, keep the illumination in the maximum condition for about an hour before using the system.
6. Variance in phase may be produced due to variance of individual LEDs.

2Maintenance and Storage
1. Clean the lens components by blowing dirt away with a commercially available blower and then wiping lightly with a
piece of cleaning paper (or freshly washed clean gauze). To remove fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe with cleaning paper
slightly moistened with commercially available absolute alcohol.
Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep it away from open
flames or potential sources of electrical sparks --- for example, electrical equipment that is being switched on or
off. Also remember to always use it only in a well-ventilated room.
2. Do not use organic solvents to clean the non-lens components. If smudges are difficult to clean, wipe them with a soft
cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Never disassemble any part of the system as this could cause malfunctions or reduced performance.
4. When disposing of this system, be sure to follow your local regulations or ordinances.
3Caution
If the system equipment is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In
addition, the equipment may also be damaged. Always use the equipment as outlined in the instruction manual.
The following symbols are used to set off text in this instruction manual.
: Indicates that failure to follow the instructions in the warning could result in bodily harm to the
user and/or damage to equipment (including objects in the vicinity of the equipment).
#: Indicates that failure to follow the instructions could result in damage to the equipment.
}: Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).

ASSEMBLY
1Attaching the LED Four-Part Illuminator SZX2-ILR66
}An adapter is required for mounting on a microscope other than the SZX16.
}Attach the SZX2-ILR66 illuminator so that the cable comes on the rear part.
Otherwise, the actual illuminating parts of the SZX2-ILR66 will not match
the illuminating parts selected with the illuminating part select buttons of
the SZX2-RHS hand switch.

Mounting on SZX16 (Fig. 1)
1. Using the Allen screwdriver provided with the microscope, loosen the two
clamping screws ² on the SZX2-ILR66 illuminator @.
2. Fit the SZX2-ILR66 @ all the way into the objective ³ of the SZX16 and
tighten the clamping screws ² using the Allen screwdriver.

# When the DFPLAPO1.5X-4/DFPL2X-4 objective is used, the SZX-LGR66
should be fixed at a position about 10 mm higher than the front tip of
the objective in order to obtain optimum illumination.
# When either objective mentioned below is used, the working distance
is reduced slightly:
When the SZX10/7 is used: By 11 mm with the SZX-ACH1X. By 1.5 mm
with the SZX-ACH1.25X.
When the MVX10 is used: By 6.5 mm with the MVPLAPO0.63X. By 3.5

2Attaching the Cable and Power Cord (Figs. 5 & 6)
Cables and cords are vulnerable to bend or twist. Do not apply
excessive force to them.
Make sure that the main switch @ of the SZX2-RHS is set to “ "
(OFF) before connecting the power cord.
Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If no power cord is
provided, please select the power cord by referring to the section
“PROPER SELECTION OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD” at the end of
this instruction manual. If the proper power cord is not used, Olympus
can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the
equipment.
1. Insert the cable connector ² of the SZX2-ILR66 illuminator firmly into the
OUTPUT connector ³ on the SZX2-RHS hand switch. (Fig. 5)
2. Insert the connector 5of the power cord into the power cord connector | of
the SZX2-RHS, and insert the power cord plug 6into the power outlet 7.
Connect the provided power cord correctly and ensure that the
grounding terminal of the power supply and that of the 3-conductor
wall outlet are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded,
Olympus can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance of
the equipment.
Unplugging the power cord is also used to stop power supply in case
of emergency. Set up the Power Supply so that the power cord
connector (on the back of the unit) or the power cord plug is within
your reach.

1. Press the “ ” (ON) segment of the main switch @ of the SZX2-RHS hand
switch to turn it ON.
2. Pressing the light intensity control button ² to increase the brightness,
and pressing the button decreases it.
}Holding a light intensity control button varies the brightness continuously.
}The indicator at the bottom is also used as the pilot lamp. It is lit even
when the light intensity is “0” so that the user would not forget turning the
hand switch OFF.
}Even if the main switch is set to “ ” (OFF) then “ ” (ON) again, the last light
intensity and illuminating part settings before the main switch is set to “ ”
(OFF) are recalled.

²Press to illuminate only one of the four parts of the illuminator. (Illumination
part Cis illuminated with the initial setting.)
This provides the specimen with a shadow and offers high-contrast
observation images.
This is convenient for stressing the surface irregularities on the specimen.
³Press to move the illuminating part in the clockwise direction.
This changes the shadow on the specimen in sequence and makes it
possible to select the optimum illuminating part.
