Fig. 4  

Inserting the HBO 103 lamp 

−  Before inserting the lamp, make sure the 

illuminating system has been disconnected 

from line power. 

−  The lamps may only be changed when they 

are cooled down; allow the microscope 

illuminator to cool down for  at least 

15 minutes to avoid the risks of burns and 

explosion! 

−  The lamp may only be removed from the 

packaging and inserted in the microscope 

illuminator if a protection mask and safety 

gloves are worn (see chapter 1.3). 

−  All clamping adjustments must be performed 

carefully; strong heat during operation may 

result in loose contacts.
