Before use

• You should ensure that the device is not exposed to direct sunlight, temperatures which are too high or too low, vibrations, dust or a high level of humidity.
• The ideal temperature range is between 0 and 40°C and a relative humidity of 85% should not be exceeded.
• Always make sure that you use an approved power cable. Thus possible damages by reason of the development of overheating (fire hazard) or an electric shock can be prevented.
• Do not open the housing and touch the internal component. There is the risk of damaging them and affecting the functionality of the camera.
• In order to carry out cleanings always disconnect the power cable from the camera.
• Always keep the sensor clear from dust and do not touch it. Otherwise there is the risk of affecting the microscopic image. In case of non-use always attach the protective covers.

Mounting

1. Remove the black cover at the bottom of the camera.

2. The thread, where the cover was attached, is a standardised C mount thread. Thus there are special C mount adapters needed for the connection to a microscope.

3. For the mounting to the microscope the C mount adapter is attached to the connection point of the microscope. After that the camera has to be screwed onto the C mount adapter.
   Important:
   The choosing of the right C mount adapter depends on the used microscope model. It has to be an adapter, which is adjusted to the construction of the microscope and recommended by the manufacturer as appropriate for the relevant microscope.

4. If necessary, adjust the microscope according to the trinocular usage (with help of the trino toggle rod / trino toggle wheel).
   The KERN ODC-85 series ensures to carry out digital microscopy either with help of an HDMI connection directly on the screen or with help of an USB 2.0/WiFi connection (via software).
