28 ST-133 Controller Manual Version 3.B
Before You Start, if your system includes a microscope Xenon or Hg arc lamp, it is
CRITICAL to turn off all electronics adjacent to the arc lamp, especially your digital
camera system and your computer hardware (monitors included) before turning on the
lamp power.
Powering up a microscope Xenon or Hg arc lamp causes a large EMF spike to be
produced that can cause damage to electronics that are running in the vicinity of the lamp.
We advise that you place a clear warning sign on the power button of your arc lamp
reminding all workers to follow this procedure. While Roper Scientific has taken great
care to isolate its sensitive circuitry from EMF sources, we cannot guarantee that this
protection will be sufficient for all EMF bursts. Therefore, in order to fully guarantee the
performance of your system, you must follow this startup procedure.
Assumptions
The following procedure assumes that
1. You have already set up your system in accordance with the instructions in the
system manual.
2. You have read the previous sections of this chapter.
3. You are familiar with the application software.
4. The system is air-cooled. (If your camera is liquid-assisted TE-cooled, liquid-cooled
TE, or LN-cooled be sure to review the appropriate setup information in the system
manual before proceeding.)
5. The system is being operated in imaging mode.
6. The target is a sharp image, text, or a drawing that can be used to verify that the
camera is "seeing" and can be used to maximize focus.
