The U-RFL-T power supply for mercury burner is designed exclusively for Olympus lamp housing for 100
W mercury burner, and the U-RX-T power supply for xenon burner is designed exclusively for Olympus
lamp housing for 75 W xenon burner.
IMPORTANT
1. Do not light the mercury or xenon burner while it is not mounted on the microscope. The UV rays in their light are harmful
to your eyes. Never look at the direct light output from the lamp housing.
2. Always use the lamp housing designated by Olympus for the power supply.
3. Make sure that the burner and connection cable are attached before setting the main switch of the power supply to “ I”
(ON).
4. Do not attempt to disassembly the power supply because it includes high-voltage parts inside.
5. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If no power cord is provided, please select the proper power cord by
referring to the section “PROPER SELECTION OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD” at the end of this instruction manual. If the
proper power cord is not used, product safety and performance cannot be guaranteed.
6. Always ensure that the grounding terminal of the wall outlet is properly grounded/earthed. If the equipment is not grounded/
earthed, Olympus can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the equipment.
7. Replace the burner when the hour counter on the power supply indicates the end of burner service life. Using a burner
after its life has expired may result in the burner burst.
8. The power supply has ventilation openings on both sides. Install the power supply by leaving a space of more than 10
cm on each side, and do not let a metallic object enter the unit through the openings (to prevent electric shock or
malfunction).

1Getting Ready
1. This manual pertains only to the handling of the power supply. For other information, please refer to the instruction
manuals for the lamp housing and microscope used in combination with the power supply so that you can understand
the comprehensive operating procedures of the system.
2. Do not use the unit where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations. (For the
operating conditions, refer to chapter 4, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 7.)
3. Turning the burner on/off frequently shortens its service life considerably. When you are going to interrupt observation for
a short period of time, it is recommended to leave the burner on and screen the light with the shutter, etc.
4. The power cord is also used to shut off the power supply in case of an emergency. Install the power supply so that the
power cord connector or the wall power outlet is easily accessible from the operator.
2Maintenance and Storage
1. If any part of the equipment gets dirty, with it with a clean cloth.
If the part is extremely dirty, do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean it; instead, use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly
moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
2. When disposing of the power supply. Check the regulations and rules of your local government and be sure to observe
them.
If you cannot dispose of a used mercury burner yourself, please contact Olympus.
3Caution
If the power supply is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In addition,
the equipment may also be damaged. Always use the equipment as outlined in this instruction manual.
The following symbols are used to set off text in this instruction manual.
: Indicates that failure to follow the instructions in the warning could result in bodily harm to the
user and/or damage to equipment (including objects in the vicinity of the equipment).
# : Indicates that failure to follow the instructions could result in damage to equipment.

The lamp housing cable and power cord are vulnerable to bend or
twist. Do not apply excessive force to them.
Be sure to set the main switch to “ ” (OFF) before connecting the
lamp housing cable and power cord.
1. Insert the cable @ from an applicable lamp housing into the lamp housing
connector ² by aligning the connectors, and secure using the clamping
ring ³ on the lamp housing connector.
Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If no power cord
is provided, please select the proper power cord by referring to the
section “PROPER SELECTION OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD” at
the end of this instruction manual.
2. Insert connector | of the power cord into connector ƒ of the power
supply firmly.
Always use the power cord supplied by Olympus and connect it to a
3-conductor wall outlet with a grounding terminal. If the grounding
terminal of the wall power outlet is not grounded/earthed, Olympus
can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the
equipment.
3. Insert the plug … of the power cord into the wall power outlet †.

1. Push the reset button @ inside the reset button guard so that the hour
counter ² reads “0.0”.
Do not push the reset button @until the next time the burner is
replaced.
2. Figure “0.0” represents the hour of use. The reading counts up by 0.1
every 6 minutes.
3. When the life counter indicates the end of service life specified for each
burner, replace it for safety, even if the burner seems to be usable further.
Using a burner after its life has expired may result in the burner
burst.
}The burner light increases flickering when the end of its service life
approaches. In this case, it is recommended to replace it earlier depending
on the purpose of observation.

Standard Burner Life
· Mercury burner USH-103OL: 300 hours*
· Xenon burner UXL-75XB: 200 hours**
**Average life under a lighting condition of 2-hour on/30-minute off
cycle. Turning the burner ON-OFF repeatedly in a shorter cycle
decreases the burner service life considerably.
** Average life under a lighting condition limiting every on period within
60 minutes. Turning the burner ON-OFF repeatedly in a shorter period
decreases the burner service life considerably.
}If you keep using the burner exceeding its life, the power supply unit may
detect the abnormality and the burner may blink.
In such a case, stop using the burner and replace the burner.

PREPARATION
3-1 Turning the Burner ON
1. Set the main switch @ of the power supply to “ I ” (ON).
2. The burner is ignited automatically by the auto ignition mechanism.
If the mercury burner is not ignited even though passing 30 seconds or
more after the main switch @ of the power supply unit is set to “ I ” (ON),
set the main switch @ to “ ” (OFF) once, and wait 10 seconds or more
and set the main switch @ to “ I ” (ON) again.
3. The lamp on LED ² lights up when the burner is ignited.
4. After ignition, the arc image of mercury burner stabilized in 5 to 10 minutes
and that of xenon burner stabilizes in 3 to 5 minutes.
The mercury burner cannot be re-ignited immediately after extinction.
After turning it off, wait for about 10 minutes, until the mercury vapor
inside it cools down and liquefies.
3-2 Centering the Burner
For centering of the burner, refer to the description on the burner centration in the instruction manual provided with the
microscope in use or an accessory module.
