Warning
1. Intended application of the product
The product is intended mainly for microscopic observations and micromanipulations of living
cells and tissues under diascopic or episcopic illumination. It is designed for the purposes of
experimentations and observations at hospitals or laboratories in the fields of genetics,
immunology, physiology, pharmacology, neurology, cellular biology, and molecular biology.
The product is classified as an in-vitro diagnostic medical device.
2. Do not disassemble.
Disassembling this product may result in electric shock or malfunction. Malfunctions and damage
due to such mishandlings will not be warranted. Do not disassemble any part that is not indicated
in this manual. If you experience problems with the product, contact Nikon.
3. Read the instructions thoroughly.
To ensure safety, thoroughly read this manual and the manuals for other equipment to be used
with this product. In particular, be sure to follow the warnings and cautions at the beginning of the
manuals.
4. Check the input voltage.
The microscope body uses an AC adapter as its power source. The dia illumination lamp uses
one of two types of power supply devices.
• AC adapter for the microscope body:
The AC adapter for the microscope can be used with 100 to 240 VAC at 50-60 Hz, and can be
used with most wall outlets in the world. Under normal use, you will not need to pay particular
attention to the supplied power voltage.
• TI-PS100W Power Supply:
TI-PS100W Power Supply can be used with 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, and can be used
with most wall outlets in the world. Under normal use, you will not need to pay particular
attention to the supplied power voltage.
• TE-PS30W Power Supply A or TE-PSE30 Power Supply A:
The input voltage ratings are indicated on the rear panel of the power supply device. Before
connecting the power cord, check that the indicated input voltage matches the voltage of the
wall outlet. If the indicated input voltage does not match your regional voltage supply, do not
use the power supply device, and contact Nikon. Use of a power supply device with the
inappropriate voltage rating may result in overheating or fire due to overcurrent, and may also
cause damage the power supply device and connected devices.
5. Use the specified AC adapter only.
The product is powered by an AC adapter. Be sure to use the specified AC adapter with the
product. Use of other AC adapters may result in malfunction, overheat, or fire.
• See Chapter 7, “Specifications” for the specified AC adapter.
• Place the AC adapter in a well-ventilated area to prevent malfunction and fire. Obstacle
covering or placed on the AC adapter may hinder the dissipation of heat and cause the AC
adapter to become abnormally hot.
• To prevent malfunctions and errors, turn off the POWER switch on the Ti-E or Ti-E/B
microscope body (set the POWER switch to the “OFF” side) before connecting the AC
adapter.
