Operating instructions
With Benchtop Transilluminator and Drawer
When using the drawer and Benchtop Transillumina-
tor with the DigiDoc-It System, a +2 diopter is required
for accurate camera focus. Your system may have a
diopter attached to the camera lens if you are using
the system with a larger High Performance Transillu-
minator and no drawer. The following instructions are
for replacing the diopter.
Diopter Installation
Check the camera lens for an existing diopter and UV
filter. If installed, remove both. The diopter shipped
with the drawer has two diopters assembled at the
UVP factory. Screw the diopter assembly onto the
camera lens. Replace the UV filter.
Drawer Installation
Place the Benchtop Transilluminator into the drawer.
Connect the power cord to the back of the transillu-
minator and push the plug through the access hole in
the back of the drawer. Connect the plug to the power
source. Access to the transilluminator switch is via
the access port on the front of the drawer.
Place the DigiDoc-it hood enclosure over the drawer.
