IMPORTANT
This manual pertains only to the operation of the LED illuminator stand. Please also read the
instruction manuals for the SZ2 series or applicable microscope to understand the comprehensive
operating instructions of the microscope system.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen that is accompanied with a potential of infection,
clean the parts coming in contact with the specimen to prevent infection.
· Moving this product is accompanied with the risk of dropping the specimen. Be sure to remove the specimen before
moving this product.
· In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, promptly take the infection prevention measures.
· The product becomes unstable if its height is increased by an accessory mounted on it. In this case, take anti-toppling
measures to prevent the specimen from being dropped when the product topples down.
2. When moving the microscope, hold the bottom of the base with one hand and the pillar with
the other hand, and carry the microscope without tilting it.
· Before carrying, remove the stage glass so that it will not drop during carrying.
Also remove other modules from the microscope as they may increase the weight and
increases danger.
3. LED (Light Emitting Diode) device is included in this product.
· Do not stare at the LED illumination (particularly the reflected illumination) light directly, as this may damage your eye.
· When a mirror or similar element is engaged in the illumination light path, take special care against the reflected light
that may enter your eye.
· Use of controls or adjustments performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
4. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. 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. If the
proper power cord is not used, product safety performance cannot be warranted.
5. Always ensure that the grounding terminals are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded, Olympus can no
longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the equipment.
6. If water or a liquid is spilt on the top of the LED illuminator stand, treat it quickly and properly as described in
“
2 Maintenance and Storage” below.

1Getting Ready
1. The LED illuminator stand is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to sudden or severe
impact.
2. Do not use the LED illuminator stand where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or
vibrations. (For the operating conditions, refer to chapter 4, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 6.)
3. The LED illuminator stand can be used with the following microscope bodies.
· SZ2 series microscopes (SZ51, SZ51-60, SZ61, SZ61-60 or SZ61TR) and SZX7
· Previous SZ series microscopes
4. Install the LED illuminator stand on a desktop surface that is as level as less than 3° from the horizontal plane, and the
mounted load should be less than 7 kilograms.
5. This equipment is not provided with the ESD (electro static discharge) compatibility.
6. The illumination performance cannot be manifested fully if an optional low-power auxiliary objective (SZ2 series) or
objective (SZX7) is used. (For details, see page 5.)
7. Light intensity does not change linearly with respect to the rotation of the light intensity knob.
8. The color hues may be variable depending on the variance of each LED.
9. The following modules cannot be mounted on this equipment.
· Stage plate
· Stage or stage adapter
· Oblique illuminator LSGA
· Coaxial reflected light illuminator SZ2-ILLC
2Maintenance and Storage
1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirty away using a commercially available blower and wipe
gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it gauze 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 attempt to use organic solvents to clean the parts other than the glass components. To clean them, use a lint-free,
soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. The stage surface is provided with a simplified waterproof construction. If water is spilt on it, promptly set the main switch
to “ ” (OFF), unplug the power cord and wipe with a dry cloth.
If water penetrates inside the equipment, contact Olympus to have the electrical safety checked.
4. Do not disassemble any part of the equipment as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.
3Caution
If the LED illuminator stand 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 this 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 equipment.
} : Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).
4Intended use
This instrument has been designed to be used to observe magnified images of specimens in routine and research
applications.
Do not use this instrument for any purpose other than its intended use.
This product complies with the requirements of directive 98/79/EC concerning in vitro diagnostic
medical devices. CE marking means the conformity to the directive.

ASSEMBLY
1Mounting the Microscope Body (Fig. 1)
1. Loosen the microscope body clamping knob @.
2. Gently insert an applicable microscope body ² and tighten the
clamping knob.
2Setting Up the Power Supply (Figs. 2 & 3)
Cables and cords are vulnerable when bent or twisted. Never
subject them to excessive force.
Make sure that the main switch @ 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 proper power cord by referring to the
section “PROPER SELECTION OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD” at
the end of this instruction manual.
