5.2 Maintenance
5.2.1 Performing Checks
The following checks should be performed at six-month intervals:
General
• Check the power cable and power plug for possible damage.
• Switch off and secure the instrument if you detect any damage. Be sure to have defects repaired by
Zeiss Service.
• Check weekly that the maximum operating time of halogen and HBO illuminators has not been
exceeded.
Illumination
• Check that the halogen and HBO illuminators are correctly set.
• Check the electrical contacts of the illuminators.
Optics
• Visually check objectives and eyepieces for cleanliness and damage.
5.2.2 Replacing Fuses on the Microscope
Always be sure to pull the power
plug before replacing fuses.
Should any fuse on the instrument fail, the cause
of such failure must first be determined and any
technical defect that may exist must be properly
repaired.
The fuse compartment is located at the back of the
microscope. The compartment is combined with
the power input socket and contains two
T 3.15 A/H 250 V, 5 mm x 20 mm fuses held in
the fuse holder.
• Pull the power plug.
• Pull out the fuse holder (Fig. 5-1/2) frontward. If
necessary, use a small screwdriver for that.
• Remove the fuses (Fig. 5-1/1) from the fuse
holder and replace them with new ones.
• Then slide the fuse holder back into the fuse compartment as far as it will go. Reconnect the power
plug.
• Plug in the power plug.
