Scan Optics aluminium transit cases provide the best
protection for a microscope where it is likely to
transported to more than one location. These transit cases
are fitted with polyurethane-polyetherfoam which houses
the individual microscope subassemblies and provides
excellent durability.
!
As an alternative, microscopes can also be packed in a
reinforced nylon suitcase which is indistinguishable from
normal luggage. These cases are also fitted with
polyurethane-polyetherfoam, and are lighter than aluminium cases.
#$$
Where microscopes are unlikely to be transported to
more than one location, the standard packaging
provides solid protection within a double-walled
corrugated carton. Polyethylene foam inserts are
provided to protect the contents of the carton.
Please do not dispose of these packaging materials,
but retain all the packaging within the carton for
future use. Retain the microscope head assembly
cushions within their box.

#$
If the microscope is to be stored or transported, it is recommended that the original packaging
be re-used for this purpose. If possible, re-pack each assembly in its original plastic bag. The
best storage location is a low humidity, dust-free environment, such as an air-conditioned
room.
The head assembly box contains an upper and lower moulded cushion which support the head
assembly. Retain these cushions within the box for future use.

1. Remove the pillar, base and clamping plate from the case or carton.
2. Insert the pillar into the hole in the base. Tighten the two grubscrews using the 5mm socket
key found in the tool kit to fix the pillar in place
3. Remove the clamping plate from the case or carton and place it on the pillar. Tighten the two
grubscrews to fix the clamping plate in place.
4. To fix the floor stand, screw the stop knobs down until the stops are resting evenly on the
floor.
5. Screw the stop lock discs down on to the base to lock the stops.
6. To unlock the floor stand, screw the stop locks back up, then unscrew the stop knobs until the
wheels can move freely.

!
1. When attaching the clamp to the floor
stand, tilt the clamp backwards to
allow it to fit through the hole in the
clamping plate.
2. The floor stand is clamped vertically
to the main clamp assembly at one
point vertically and at two points
horizontally. First tighten the main
clamp firmly then use the two clamp
knobs provided to fix the clamp
horizontally to the clamping plate
mount.

1. 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.
2. Alternatively, 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.
3. It 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.
1. Locate the pillar safety clamp and place it on the pillar if it is not there already. Tighten the pillar
safety clamp at a point midway up the pillar.
2. Place the arm assembly on the pillar. Make sure that the arm assembly rests against the pillar
safety clamp. Loosen the elbow knob to allow the pantograph arm to rotate about the elbow joint.

3. Locate the microscope head assembly in the end of the arm assembly. Make sure the microscope
assembly is seated all the way down in the collet. Tighten the wrist knob underneath the end of
the arm assembly to secure the microscope in the collet.
4. Pass the cable through the clips 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.

5. Remove the eyepiece blanks and insert the eyepieces. Insert the focusing eyepiece in the LHS
eyepiece tube from the observer’s perspective and secure in place so that the scal marker is easily
visible. Place the fixed eyepiece in the RHS eyepiece tube and secure using the screw. Retain the
eyepiece caps in a safe place for when storing the microscope.
6. If desired, attach the guide handle to the threaded hole at the front of the microscope using the
M5x8 socket head cap screw supplied. The guide handle provides a convenient means for
manoeuvring the microscope.

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 (eg 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.
1. Plug the mains power cable into a mains power socket. International safety standards do not
allow the use of an extension cord. The mains power supply must have a protective earth
conductor. If there in no earth conductor, or if the integrity of the earth conductor
arrangement is in doubt, the equipment must be operated from a 12Vdc power source.
2. Switch on the mains power supply at the wall socket. When the ON/OFF switch on the power
is selected to ON, the power supply indicator on the switch will light and an audible 'beep'
should be heard.

When the power supply is switched on, it will default to ‘standby’ mode. In standby mode, the
cooling fans are switched on but the lamps are off. In standby mode, the LED indicator next to the
standby button will be illuminated.
To turn the lamps on:
1. Depress the standby button once. The standby LED will switch off
2. Turn on the main lamp by pressing the button on the power supply. The main lamp button
LED will illuminate and the main lamp will come on after a short delay.
3. Turn on the auxiliary lamp by pressing the button on the power supply. The auxiliary lamp
button LED will illuminate and the auxiliary lamp will come on after a short delay.
4. Set the light intensity by toggling the light intensity adjustment buttons, or the central pedals
on the foot control. Note that this will simultaneously adjust the intensity of both the main
and auxiliary lights.
To turn the lamps off:
1. Press the individual lamp buttons again to switch them off, or press the standby button.
2. If the standby button is depressed to turn the lights off then a second time to turn them back
on again, the power supply will default to the last intensity setting used.
Scan Optics recommend the use of gel cell or sealed rechargeable lead-acid 12V batteries such as
Scan Optics SO-9210 (38Ah capacity). These batteries are maintenance-free and can be operated,
charged or stored in any position without leakage.
1. If the power supply is to be connected to a 12-volt dc supply, remove the battery cable from
the carton and connect the cable to the 12-volt connector on the middle of the front panel on
the power supply.
2. Connect the red battery clip to the positive battery terminal, and the black clip to the negative
battery terminal. The power supply will not operate if the terminals are reversed
Earthing is not required when a 12-volt supply is used alone.
The 12 volt supply must be direct current. The power supply will not operate with 12
volts alternating current.
Ensure batteries have adequate airflow around them before charging.
Avoid short-circuiting batteries.
Old lead-acid batteries of any type must be disposed of correctly. It is recommended
that they are recycled by an appropriate establishment who recycle car batteries. Lead
acid batteries should not be disposed of with ordinary waste, as lead poisoning or acid
trauma may result.
Where battery backup is used, Scan Optics recommends a periodical check of the battery to
ensure it is charged and functional.

The Scan Optics foot control allows control of focus, zoom and light intensity functions.
To connect the foot control, simply plug the cable into the socket on the right side of the front panel of
the power supply.
Whenever the foot control is used to control any function, the LED indicator located below the foot
control connector on the power supply will illuminate. If there is a problem with foot control
function, first check to see if this LED is lighting up when a particular foot pedal is depressed.
Speed of foot controlled focus and zoom operations may be controlled by the knob on the power
supply located directly below the foot control connector.
