ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
FLOOR STAND
1. Remove the pillar, base and clamp mount from the case or carton.
2. Insert the pillar into the hole. Tighten the two grubscrews using the 5mm socket key found in
the tool kit to fix the pillar in place. Refer to figure 1 (A), (B).
3. Remove the clamp mount from the case or carton and place it on the pillar. Tighten the two
grubscrews to fix the clamp mount in place. Refer to figure 1 (C), (D).

4. To fix the floor stand, screw the knobs down until the stops are resting evenly on the floor.
Refer to figure 2.
5. Screw the knurled discs down on to the floor stand base to lock the stops. Refer to figure 2.
6. To unlock the floor stand, screw the knurled discs back up, then unscrew the knobs until the
wheels can move freely.

MICROSCOPE
1. Remove the clamp assembly from the case.
2. Fix the clamp to the operating table about 40 cm from the head of the table. The clamp may
be fixed on either side of the table. Make sure that the clamp is pressed firmly against the
side of the table before tightening. Refer to figure 3 (A).
MAlternatively, the clamp may be mounted on any horizontal surface that can
be positioned within 60 cm of the working position, such as a mobile trolley.
MThe clamp may also be attached to the floor stand. When attaching to the
floor stand, first remove the two knobs from the clamp then tilt the clamp
backwards slightly to allow it to fit through the hole in the clamp mount.
Refer to figure 3 (B).
MThe floor stand is clamped vertically to the main clamp assembly at one point
and at two points horizontally. First tighten the vertical clamp firmly then use
the two knobs provided to fix the clamp horizontally to the clamp mount.
Refer to figure 3 (C).
MIt is important that the mounting surface be free from vibration and
movement. Note that in cases where the mounting surface is not rigid,
over-tightening of the vertical clamp will not improve microscope stability. In
this case, add a stiffening plate (such as Scan Optics Table Plate; Cat No.
SO-291) beneath the mounting surface and apply the clamp over the
stiffening plate and the original mounting surface..

3. Tighten the pillar safety clamp at a point midway up the vertical pillar. Refer to figure 4 (A).
4. Remove the articulated arm assembly from the case, and place it on the vertical pillar. Make
sure that the arm assembly rests against the pillar safety clamp. Refer to figure 4 (B).
5. Remove the microscope assembly from the case and locate the microscope assembly in the
end of the arm assembly. Tighten the knob underneath the end of the arm to secure the
microscope in the collet. Refer to figure 4 (C).
7. Pass the lamphouse cable through the cable clips ring on the arm assembly and attach the plug
to the connector on the top of the pillar. This will ensure the cable does not obstruct the
surgeon or come into contact with the sterile area.

8. Remove the microscope eyepiece blanks and insert the eyepieces from the tool kit. Refer to
figure 5.
MRetain the eyepiece blanks in the tool kit for repacking the microscope. Do
not discard the eyepiece blanks.
MTake care to protect the Lamphouse prism at all times. If placing the
Microscope Assembly on a bench, lie carefully on one side.
9. Connect the zoom power cable to the socket on the side of the zoom drive cover.
10.. Remove the focus control knob cover and (small) zoom control knob cover from the bag inside
the case. Refer to figure 5. Push them into position on to the knobs on the left side of the
microscope head.
11. Remove the guide handle cover from the bag inside the case, and slide it over the guide handle
located at the front of the microscope. Refer to figure 5.
MThe guide handle may be used to manoeuvre the microscope during surgery.
MAll covers are intended to be sterilised before any operating procedures.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
The Scan Optics Ophthalmic Microscope may be connected to either an earthed mains (90-260V) ac
supply, or a 12V dc supply, or both. The power supply will automatically select the correct mains
voltage. If both ac and dc supplies are connected, the dc supply (for example, a 12V battery) will act
as an emergency backup for mains power. In this case, the microscope will not run from battery
power unless the mains supply fails or falls by more than 20 percent, or is switched off. If mains
power is restored, the microscope will resume using mains power automatically. The mains power
switch on the microscope does not switch the battery off. Refer to figure 6.
