Axio Imager 2 FIRST-TIME SET-UP ZEISS
HAL 100 halogen illuminator

3.29.2 Separate power supply of the HAL 100 halogen illuminator for reflected light
The Axio Imager 2 allows two 100 W halogen lights to be operated independently and at the same time
on a microscope.
For the combined use of transmitted light and reflected light (mixed light) on the Axio Imager 2, the
halogen illuminator needs to be connected to a separate reflected light power supply.
For the coded stand, the external power supply for
HAL 100 and LED illuminators (power supply
12 V 100 W) is to be used, while the external
power supply for HAL 100 and LED illuminators
with CAN connection (power supply 232 CAN) is
to be employed for the motorized stand.
To connect the HAL 100 to a separate power
supply, proceed as follows:
Coded stand
• For reflected light, connect the three-pin plug of
the HAL 100 to the RL socket (Fig. 44/4) on the
back of the 12 V 100 W power supply.
• Set the transmitted-light / reflected-light toggle
switch (Fig. 44/3) to the position for reflected
light (RL).
• Use a power cord to connect the power
connector (Fig. 44/5) to a power outlet.
• For reflected light, use the ON / OFF switch
(Fig. 44/1) on the power supply to turn the
HAL 100 on or off, as required.
• Use the rotary knob (Fig. 44/2) on the power
supply to adjust illumination intensity.
Motorized stand
• For reflected light, connect the three-pin plug of
the HAL 100 to the socket (Fig. 45/3) on the
back of power supply 232 CAN.
• Use a CAN connection cable to connect the
CAN connector on the power supply (Fig. 45/2)
with a free CAN connector on the back of the
stand.
• Use a power cord to connect the power
connector (Fig. 45/4) to a power outlet.
• For reflected light, use the ON / OFF switch
(Fig. 45/1) on the power supply to turn the
HAL 100 on or off, as required.
• Set the illumination intensity of the HAL 100 on
the TFT display.
The separate power supply is
integrated into the light manager
where this is enabled (see
Section 4.6 ff.).
