What to do if the Nikon Microscope lamp does not light?
If the lamp does not light even when the illumination switch is pressed, it could be due to the following reasons: * The lamp is about to blow, so replace it with a new one. * The power cord or the cable of the lamp house is not connected securely, so connect them correctly.
Why does the Nikon Eclipse LV100DA-U Microscope illumination brightness change when objectives or filter cubes are changed?
The brightness of the illumination changes when objectives or filter cubes are changed because the light source is operated manually. To resolve this, connect the RS-232C cable.
Why does the Nikon Microscope lamp flicker?
The lamp may flicker due to several reasons: * The lamp is about to blow, replace it with a new one. * The power cord or lamp house cable is not securely connected; ensure they are correctly connected. * The lamp is not securely inserted into the socket; insert it securely. * The lamp house is not securely connected; connect it securely. * The lamp house cable is not connected; connect the lamp cable correctly. * No lamp is attached; attach a lamp. * The lamp is blown; replace it. * A wrong lamp is used; use the specified lamp.
What to do if the brightness of the Nikon Eclipse LV100DA-U Microscope lamp does not change?
If the brightness control switch is pressed, but the lamp's brightness doesn't change, it might be because: * The lamp information is not registered correctly; perform the setup works for the microscope. * The information of the external power supply is not registered correctly; perform the setup works for the microscope. * The power supply is operated manually; connect the control cable correctly and turn the EXTERNAL switch to the ON position. * The information of the light source is not registered correctly; perform the setup works for the microscope.
What to do if my Nikon Eclipse LV100DA-U Microscope has no power?
If there is no power even though the power switch is on, it is likely that the power cord is not connected at all, or is not connected securely. Connect the power cord correctly.
