5.2 Instrument maintenance
5.2.1 Performing checks
• Makes sure the line voltage available agrees with the operating voltages required.
• Check the power cable and plug for defects.
• If any damage is visible, switch off the instrument. Have the instrument repaired only by a qualified
technician.
• Check the reading of the operating hour meter of the power supply to ensure that the maximum
operation time of the mercury vapor short-arc lamp is not exceeded.
5.2.2 Changing fuses on the manual
stand
Always pull the power plug before
changing the fuses.
Should any fuse fail, the cause of such failure must
first be determined, with any technical defect that
may exist to be properly repaired by trained
personnel
On the manual Axio Imager model, the fuse
compartment is on the back of the microscope and
contains two T 5.0 A/H / 250 V, 5x20 mm fuses.
• Pull the power plug.
• Pull out fuse holder (5-1/2) frontward. Use a
small screwdriver, if necessary.
• Remove the fuses from the holder and insert
new fuses.
• Push the fuse holder back into the fuse
compartment (
5-1/1) as far as it will go.
• Connect the power plug.
The motorized Axio Imager model is powered
through the power supply VP232-2.
(For fuse
changes, see Section
5.2.3).
