2. Product outline
2.1. Product application
LED SLIT LAMP XL-1 is a Slit Lamp Microscope for irradiating a Slit light strong against the
transparent bodies, such as a cornea of an eyeball, and a crystalline lens, from slant, carrying out
optical cutting, floating a minute abnormality up and carrying out expansion observation of this by
the stereomicroscope by scattering of the detailed substance under tissue. High brightness white
LED is adopted as the light source, and product-life cycle is long.
2.2. Feature
High brightness white LED
The brightness of about 10,000 luxs was secured by adoption of the high brightness white LED light
source, and the life of a lamp became long.
*The life of LED is 50,000 hours or more.
Sharp slit light
Though it is LED SLIT LAMP, a sharp slit light can be offered, and slit width can also be adjusted
freely.
Small and lightweight
Since it is small and lightweight, it can use easily in the case of a medical care service at home.
You can use for the medical care of the eye of a small animal etc.
Filter function (illumination system)
Selectable of the various filter such as the Cobalt blue, green, conversion filter for color temperature.
Battery drive
Continuous operation is about 2 hours possible with a battery. (in full charged state)
The operating time changes with amounts of illumination and remaining battery level.

4. Prior preparation
Please take out a main part, a diopter adjustment bar, a forehead support, a battery, etc. from a carrying case.
Next, please insert a battery in the main part battery accommodation section firmly.
Unless it is inserted firmly, it may be unable to illuminate, or a battery may fall.
Cautions:
When the capacity of a battery is falling, using a battery charger, please charge beforehand and use. The
charging time is about 2 hours. The CHARGE lamp will start to blink. Charging is complete when the
CHARGE lamp continues to glow.
5. Preparation before use
5.1. The check of an eyepiece
1) Please check an eyepiece loosening in an eyepiece cylinder 10X, and being mounted in it that
there is nothing.
It is correctly unobservable if eyepiece is loosening.
2) Please check that there is no dirt, such as a fingerprint, on the eyepiece surface.
3) In case of 16X eyepieces (option) are used, please take out the 10X eyepieces from binocular
before attaching the 16X eyepieces.

5.2. The check of illumination light
1) Please turn a slit opening-and-closing ring clockwise, and open a slit to the maximum.
2) Please push a lighting ON/OFF switch. A round illumination light is seen.
When illumination is not obtained, please check whether the slit opening-and-closing ring is open.
When it is open and illumination is not obtained, battery capacity is falling. In this case, please
charge a battery.
3) Next, please check rotating a filter and being illuminated by Non-filter, green, blue, and
conversion filter for color temperature.

6. How to use
6.1. Diopter adjustment
1) When the diopter is known, please carry out diopter adjustment with a diopter scale.
2) When you attach a diopter adjustment bar and you adjust a diopter, please adjust in the following
procedures.
①Please loosen and remove the attachment screw of a forehead support and attach a diopter
adjustment bar.
②Please turn ON illumination, and perform diopter adjustment of both of right and left so that
you observe a diopter adjustment bar from an ocular and a focus matches. (The working
distance is designed by about 80mm)
6.2. Pupil-distance adjustment
Please rotate the lens-barrel of the binocular section, and when you see an eyepiece part with both
eyes, adjust the PD to become one image.
When not visible to one image, it is possible that the diopter adjustment cannot be performed
appropriately. In this case, please perform a diopter adjustment once again.
6.3. Illumination control
A illumination ON/OFF switch is turned ON, illumination control volume is turned, and the
quantity of illumination is adjusted.
If it turns to right-hand side, it will become bright, and it will become dark if it turns to left-hand
side. In the maximum illumination, the illuminance without a filter is about 10,000 luxs.
* Turn on LED at the upper left of illumination control volume at the time of the illumination
switch ON. In addition, when battery capacity has decreased, it blinks, and the light will be put
out if it becomes less than 6V.
6.4. Focusing
Apply the forehead support to the patient’s forehead, next loosen the clamping control while observing the
eye with the eyepiece and move the slit lamp itself forward and backward to focus on the subject part.
(Note) Since the forehead support is executed with a spring, even if the slit lamp itself drawn forward, it
will not leave the forehead of the patient easily.
Slit light is
irradiated.

6.6. Illumination angle
Illumination angle, pick the slide ring with fingers and move it right and left +/- 30 degrees.
6.7. Filter
By rotating a filter, G (green), B (cobalt blue), O (conversion filter for color temperature), and those
without a Non filter can be chosen as an illumination system. Please use properly according to the use
of observation.
A color temperature change filter serves as illumination near daylight color.
6.8. Change of magnification
A change of magnification is made by exchange of an eyepiece. (Standard 10X, 16X as option)
After exchange of an eyepiece should carry out a diopter adjustment (check) again.

7. After use
1) After use should clean a main body and should keep it cleanly.
2) Please remove a battery, when you do not use it for a long period of time, and keep a product in
the carrying case of exclusive use carefully.
3) When the display lamp of remaining battery level blinks, please remove a battery from main
body and charge a battery.
8. Daily maintenance
1) An eyepiece and objective lens cover glass
To clean off the surface of an eyepiece and/or objective lens cover glass, please use lens paper or
soft cloth. If it has fingerprint or fatty oil, mist lens paper or soft cloth with alcohol to clean off.
2) Mirror
By viewing, the mirror for illumination of the illumination output section checks the existence of
a crack.
Cleaning of dart, please use lens paper or soft cloth. If it has fingerprint or fatty oil, mist lens
paper or soft cloth with alcohol to clean off.
3) Please check that the operation like each part is smooth. Please consult with a dealer, when fault
is discovered in an operation.
9. For safety operation
1) After the completion of charge should remove a battery from a battery charger promptly.
Keep in mind the charge state of 2 hours or more that there is risk of overcharge.
2) About 300 charge or more is possible for a battery. The number of recharge is changed due to the
remaining battery level. A battery life can be extended by charging, after remaining battery level
has decreased if possible.
