Safety precautions
The following symbols are placed on this product.
Study the meaning of the symbols and always use the product in the safest possible manner.
Symbol Meaning
Indicates a non-specific general hazard. Follow the description given after this symbol or
in the instruction manual.
Indicates that the main switch is ON.
Indicates that the main switch is OFF.
Safety symbols
·Before connecting the cables, be sure to set the POWER switch of the control box for coded function
(U-CBS) to OFF (out position).
·For safety, always use the provided AC adapter only.
·Keep the cables away from the lamp housings (halogen bulb, etc.) that become hot and the surroundings.
Otherwise, the cables may melt and cause an electric shock hazard.
·Never apply an excess force to cables, such as to stretch cables. Otherwise, they may be damaged.

·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.

Note 2)
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.

This system configuration enables to acquire the information of following units.
· Information of the hole position (objective position) of the revolving nosepiece
· Information of the mirror unit position of the coded illuminator
The acquired information is transmitted to PC or the microscope digital camera through the RS-232C cable to enable
following functions.
· Implement following functions using PC by interlocking to the hole positions of the revolving nosepiece or mirror
unit positions.
(Increase of the speed of exposure time control, addition of the magnification information to acquired images,
automatic scale change according to objective, etc.)
· Enable to operate the EXPOSE button of the microscope digital camera near the coarse focusing knob of the
microscope frame by using the hand switch.
(For procedures to attach the hand switch, see page 11.)
Transmitting the acquired information to the control box (BX3-CBM) enables following functions.
· Enable to change the optical elements of the motorized condenser when objective is selected by rotating the
coded revolving nosepiece.
(The motorized condenser and control box (BX3-CBM) are required.)

Attach the attaching plate bto the magnet on the bottom of the
hand switch a.
Do not remove the sheet on the adhesive surface of the attaching
plate until the attaching position is decided.
Decide the attaching position ceasy to operate the hand switch (
part) near the right or left coarse adjustment knob.
Be careful if the hand switch is attached too close to the
coarse focusing knob, when the pre-focusing lever dis
rotated, the hand switch may contact the pre-focusing lever.
Clean the attaching position with a soft cloth, remove the sheet on the
adhesive surface of the attaching plate and attach the hand switch
firmly to the microscope frame.
·Since the hand switch is provided with the magnet, do not
let objects that are affected by magnetism come close to
the hand switch.
·Be careful, if the connector of the coded revolving
nosepiece is not connected to U-CBS, the hand switch
does not function.
If the cable for the hand switch disturbs your operation, bundle
the cable with the Velcro tape provided with the hand switch.
