·The connectors of U-CBS are equipped with dust covers. Remove the dust covers only from the
connectors you want to connect cables.
·Be sure to connect only the units specified by Olympus to the connecters of U-CBS.
If a non-specified unit is connected, the performance of the entire system cannot be guaranteed.
·Before connecting the cables, be sure to set the POWER switch of U-CBS to OFF (out position).
Insert the cables securely to connectors paying attention to their shapes. If the connector is provided
with clamping screws, be sure to tighten them.
·If you insert a non-specified connector into the connector of U-CBS, the connector may be damaged.

Align the mark aon the connector of the coded illuminator with
the mark aof U-CBS and attach the coded illuminator. When
attaching U-IFRES or the coded revolving nosepiece, align marks
bin the same manner.
Note 3)
Hang U-CBS con the hangers don the back side of the
microscope frame.
Note 4)
When connecting the microscope digital camera to U-CBS to use
U-CBS, the order to turn ON the power is: 1POWER switch of
U-CBS and 2Switch of the microscope digital camera. If the
switches are set to ON in the different order, the microscope digital
camera cannot recognize U-CBS.
Also, if the connector of the coded revolving nosepiece are not
connected to U-CBS, U-CBS does not recognize the coded
revolving nosepiece. So be careful.

3Layout of the cables
The cables of units can be laid out easily by attaching the cable holders on the back side of the microscope frame.
The cable holders are provided with following units.
· Control box for coded function (U-CBS): 6 pieces
· Coded revolving nosepiece: 2 pieces
On page 7 and after, the positions to attach cable holders and the cable layout are described for each microscope frame.
· The number of cable holders to be used differs depending on the units combined with the microscope frame.
· If the cable holder positions are significantly deviated, the cable may not reach the connector. Attach the cable
holders while making sure that the cable reaches the connector.
· Make sure that cable holders are not deflected and close the cable holders.
