Should you want to perform assemblyyourself, please proceed as follows:• Remove binocular tube and intermediate tube (if available) from the stand (also see 2.2.10 ff.).• Insert dovetail of multi-observation equipment (basic body) into the stand opening and tightenclamping screw (2-47/1).☞ Prior to attachment, the tube lens must be removed from the binocular tube (or phototube) forthe main user! The supplied D-filter must be screwed in instead of the tube lens. This brings thebrightness of the image / pointer to the same level as the coobservation tubes.• Insert the binocular tube or phototube 30°/23 (2-47/4) in the dovetail of the multi-observationequipment (2-47/3), align it and tighten clamping screw (2-47/2).• Attach connecting piece L (2-47/5) or end connector L (2-47/7) to the left side of the multi-observationequipment, and connecting piece R (2-47/13) or end connector R (2-47/11) to the right side. Do notforget to remove the protection caps from the tube ends. Each pin must engage in the correspondingopening, then tighten the captive coupling nuts.• Attach and clamp two binocular tubes for the multi-observation equipment (2-47/6) on each of theconnecting pieces L (2-47/5) and R (2-47/13).• When mechanically aligning the connecting pieces and end connectors, make sure that the fieldcentering, based on the main observer tube (2-47/4), is retained. For this purpose, select aconspicuous specimen area and place it in the intersection point of the crossline disk (also see section1.7). After assembly of the first connecting piece, insert the eyepiece with reticle in the respectivecoobservation tube and particularly adjust the height of the connecting tube using setting screw(2-47/12) until the selected specimen area is positioned again in the point of intersection of theeyepiece reticle.• Attach and screw tight a further connecting piece L (2-47/5) or the end connector L (2-47/7) to theconnecting piece L, and a further connecting piece R (2-47/13) or the end connector R (2-47/11) tothe connecting piece R.• Attach and clamp two binocular tubes for the multi-observation equipment on each of the endconnectors R and L. Perform height adjustment using the eyepiece reticle.• Insert plug (2-47/9) of power unit (2-47/10, 115 V or 230 V) in the socket (2-47/8) on the multi-observation equipment and tighten the screwing ring to prevent shifting.• Connect power unit for light pointer (2-47/10) to the line (115 V or 230 V).The binocular tubes of the multi-observation equipment can be turned and fixed in position as requiredby the user. The multi-observation equipment with light pointer permits attachment of 2, 5, 9 and moreobservation devices.
