Notes on Unpacking,
Transport and Storage
The lamps, especially the XBO 75, are under
high pressure even if they are not switched on.
They may therefore be removed from the
package only if the protection mask (Cat.No.
417009) and the safety gloves with artery
protection (Cat. No. 417008) are worn.
The XBO 75 has an additional plastic protection
sleeve which must not be removed when the
lamp is unpacked!
For safety reasons, a safety holder is inserted in
the microscope illuminator instead of the bulb
during transport.
Both the N HBO 103 and N XBO 75 microscope
illuminators and the HBO 103 and XBO 75
lamps must be transported in their original
packaging.
This packaging and the plastic protection sleeve
of the XBO 75 must be kept for storage and
disposal.
The transport and storage temperatures must
be observed in the same way as those of the
microscope stands.

Hints on Use
−
The lamps, especially the XBO 75, are under
high pressure even if they are not switched
on.
They may only be inserted in the microscope
illuminator if a safety mask and safety gloves
(see chapter 1.3) are worn.
The safety regulations of the lamp
manufacturer must be observed when the
XBO 75 is inserted.
−
The HBO 103 and XBO 75 lamps are under
high pressure during operation; they must
always be opereated in closed lamp
housings!
−
The light of the HBO 103 and XBO 75 short-
arc lamps contains a high amount of UV
light:
Never look directly into the lamp or in
reflected light
Wear safety glasses (sunglasses) when
operating the lamps
Cover inspection openings with filters
−
The UV radiation of the lamps produces
harmful ozone.
This gas must be carried off to the outside
via exhauster tubes and the working room
supplied with fresh air.
−
Both the N HBO 103 and N XBO 75
microscope illuminators and the HBO 103
and XBO 75 lamps must be protected from
impact and humidity.
