3.2.1 Basic adjustment of the slit position
1. Remove the housing of the slit projector.
2. LSL must be switched on (laser is ON)
3. Unplug the motor cable (deactivation of the
micromanipulator).
4. Disconnect the spring charged plastic pin, which is
reducing the loose of the inner part of the prism
head.
5. Attach adjustment ring 1772-241 to the cylindrical
part of the slit projector (prism head) as shown in
the illustration so that the pins of the adjustment
screws are fitted into the corresponding holes.
Carefully tighten the adjustment screws. In this
process, the inner part of the prism head should
move to the position of the mechanical and
optical center. Fig. 3: Basic adjustment of the slit position
6. In the LSL with the VITE option, the ball bearings on the motor gears should be positioned
exactly on the corresponding circular marking of the cam disk.
Use adjustment ring 1772-241 for the LSL VITE very careful because of the risk of
damage!

3.2.2 Focusing of the projection plane and horizontal

adjustment of the slit position
Requirement: Crosslines
When you turn the slit projector from one side to the other, the slit
image must not move out of position and the projection plane must be
in focus.

Fig. 4: Projection plane

1. Mount a projection plane (1) provided with
crosslines and a 5 mm diameter circle on the 1
headrest and align the slit lamp with it.
Alternatively, you can use alignment template
1294-327 or an eyepiece with a reticle.
2. Set maximum magnification and a narrow,
vertical slit.
3. Adjust the illumination intensity of the slit to
3
minimum brightness.
4. Set your prescription on the eyepieces

4. Slightly loosen two screws (3) to permit

horizontal movement of detent spring (4). Move
the spring to turn the aperture disk until the sides
of the slit evenly cover the aperture image. In this
position, the wheel must engage in one of the 4 3
clickstops of the aperture disk
Successively switch the aperture disk to all
positions and check that the aperture image is
evenly covered by the sides of the slit. If any
deviations occur at individual aperture positions,
you can carefully rework the relevant detent
notch on the edge to correct the error.
Tolerance:
The smallest aperture can be covered to a
maximum of 30% on each side.
Fig. 18: Using the detent spring to correct the
position of the aperture relative to the slit

3.2.7 Correcting the slit illumination

Requirement:
The illuminated field must be completely and evenly
illuminated.
1. Focus the slit.
2. Set the largest aperture.
3. Reduce the illumination to a minimum level until
any shadows in the illuminated field become
visible.
4. For preadjustment, use a feeler gage to set a
distance of 0.8 mm between the lamp housing
and the condenser plate. Slightly loosen securing
screws (1) of the lamp housing and vertically
move the lamp housing for this purpose.
Fig. 20: Illuminating the illuminated field

5. Use mount (3) to horizontally move the lamp

housing. This enables the adjustment of uniform
illumination for the illuminated field. The
illuminated field must be homogeneous and
without clouding. If any brown or blue fringes
are visible in the illuminated field at high
illumination intensities, readjust the lamp 1
housing in the vertical direction.
6. Tighten screws (2).

2 3 2

Fig. 21: Loosening the lamp mount and moving the

lamp housing (bottom view)
If uniform illumination cannot be obtained this way,
perform the adjustment using the projection of the
lamp filament on the deflecting prism.

1. Attach transparent paper (4) to the deflecting 4

prism and center the image of the lamp filament
by moving the lamp mount. Two images of the
lamp filament are projected by the objective
lenses of the slit projector. They should be
imaged evenly one above the other and without
clipping.
2. Then check the illumination of the projection
surface once again and optimize it.
Note
Fig. 22: Adjustment using the projection of the
Inadequate adjustment of the lamp lamp filament on the deflecting prism
housing may be the cause of shadows
forming on the slit!

surfaces on the changer circumference.
Note
Remember its orientation!

Fig. 24: Loosening the magnification changer

5. When reinserting the magnification changer, make sure that the magnification figures on
either side are identical, that the changer turns smoothly, the clickstops can be clearly felt and
the field of view is not vertically clipped.
6. If the field of view is clipped at the top or bottom by the magnification changer, unscrew the
microscope from the arm. The screws of the detent spring for positioning the changer are
now accessible. Slightly loosen the screws and move the detent spring in the direction of the
microscope shaft. This permits the clickstop position of the changer to be adjusted until the
fiel of view is no longer clipped. Mount the tube and eyepieces to assess the adjustment.
7. After this adjustment procedure, readjust the focusing of the projection plane and the slit
position (see 3.2, page 6).

3.3 Replacing the zoom system

Removal:
1. Unscrew the light guide cable.
2. Slightly loosen the 4 spot size adjustment screws (5) and slide
the plate a bit downward.
3. Undo 4 screws (4) on the zoom system flange and remove the
zoom system.

Installation: 4
1. Slightly loosen the 4 spot size adjustment screws (5) and slide
the plate a bit downward.
2. Set a spot size of 50.
3. Turn zoom system gear (3) clockwise to the stop and screw 3
the zoom system onto the slit projector.
4. Mesh the gears and screw down the spot size adjustment
mechanism.
5. Vary the spot size in steps and watch the changing spot size
through the microscope at maximum magnification.
Note 5
Check that the spot size adjustment mechanism moves Fig. 27: Replacing the zoom system
smoothly.

6. Assess the sport size.

In the 1000μm position, the aiming beam must be positioned within a square on the
alignment template 1294-327, and the smallest spot must be imaged in the 50μm position.
Alternatively, graph paper scaled in millimeters can be used for this procedure. Again, it is
essential that the slit lamp be focused precisely on the alignment template.
7. If the spot size does not conform to the specifications, slightly loosen the spot size adjustment
mechanism and turn the zoom lens relative to the position of the spot size adjustment
mechanism. Repeat the procedure until the spot size conforms to the specifications.
8. If the spot appears blurred while the slit itself and the projection plane are in focus, the zoom
lens is out of adjustment. The zoom lens cannot be adjusted in the field. The LSL must be
adjusted at the factory. Alternatively, the zoom lens can be removed and sent in for
adjustment.

5. Adjustment tool 1497-336 can be used to

facilitate the procedure. Connect the tool to the
corresponding connector of the potentiometer
and turn the potentiometer until the LED on the
tool lights green. For devices with a distributor
board, adapter cable (1) with the jack connector
for earlier micromanipulator versions must be
unplugged from the adjustment tool.
For units without the VITE option, adjust the
objective lens with the cam disk to the 1
optical/mechanical center using adjustment ring
1772-241. Units with the VITE option have to be
adjusted only with the circular markings on the
cam disk. The bearings of the cam disk must be
exactly coincident with the circular markings on Fig. 37: Adjustment tool
the cam disk (see Fig. 54). Observe the coincident
position during adjustment because the unit is not mechanically secured in position without
the adjustment ring!

Note
Make sure during installation that the bearings run smoothly in the cams.
The base unit of the manipulator drive and the upper edge of the gears must be located in
one plane. The cam disk must not scrape along the gears.
After completion of the installation, check the cam disk for smooth motion. The spring
force of the plastic pin for slack compensation should be sufficient to move the cam disk.
Special attention should be given to this aspect in versions featuring the VITE
options.
8. Move the cam disk in such a way that the collar of the upper ball bearing is positioned exactly
on the marking provided on the cam disk.
Note
Do not turn the potentiometer shafts in
this process.
9. Lock the potentiometer gears on the shafts using
hex socket head screws (2).
10. Use the eccentric collar to turn the motor housing
so that the gears are meshed with each other.

3.7 Motor control of 532s / Trion (new version with 4

potentiometers) without VITE function
3.7.1 Installing the LSL Trion motor control PCB (532s, Trion and Combi)
1. Insert the PCB in the connector strip of the
controller board with the component side facing
the spacer bolt, and secure it on the spacer bolt
using the screw.

3.7.2 Basic adjustment of the potentiometers

1. The potentiometers are preadjusted to the center
position by the manufacturer. Repeat this
adjustment, if necessary.
2. Mount a holder with graph paper scaled in
millimeters or adjustment template1294-327 on
the headrest and focus the slit lamp on it. Lock the
micromanipulator in the center position.

Fig. 44: Installing the motor control PCB

Note
The focal plane has been reached when the slit remains stationary if you turn the slit
projector to both sides by approx. 30 degrees while at the same time moving the slit
lamp towards the headrest.

3. Use potentiometers R5 and R22 to adjust the slit

horizontally and vertically relative to the center of
the field of view (determined by means of graph
paper), or use an eyepiece with reticle to center
the slit on the center position.

Fig. 45: Motor control PCB

Note
The unused threaded bores on the gears can
be used as an adjustment aid. The center
position has been reached when an imaginary
line connecting the center of the ball bearing,
the motor shaft and the second threaded bore
is parallel to the cutout in the cam.
In more recent LSLs, the ball bearing must be
positioned on the circular marking.

4. Then the deflection must be adjusted using the potentiometers R 2 (for the X direction) and
R 19 (for the Y direction). For this purpose, unlock the micromanipulator on the joystick and
fully deflect it in the X and Y directions from one limit position to the other, while watching
the movement of the aiming beam on the graph paper. The path between the limit positions
must be 4 mm in both directions.
Check whether the cam disk knocks against another
component in this process. Distance "a" should be at
least 0.5 mm in all extreme positions. Components "D"
and "C" must not touch each other, as this would
damage the motor and the electronics.
The drive motors must follow the defined movement
without jerks, delay and acceleration.

Note
The ball bearings should now be roughly in the
position shown in the illustration; in more recent Fig. 47: Checking the cam disk
LSLs, they should be positioned exactly on the
circular markings.

If the ball bearings are not in the indicated position or if one or both motors are running although
the micromanipulator is in the center position,
proceed as follows: 2 37

3.8.1 Installing the LPG board for the VITE option
Note
In LSLs featuring the VITE option, the motors and potentiometers cannot be exchanged in
the field. The complete manipulator drive 1683-817 is therefore available as a factory-
adjusted exchange component.

1. Open the cover of the slit lamp base.

2. Set the base to the uppermost position by turning the joystick. This gives access to two slotted
screws. Remove these screws.
3. Carefully remove the cover upward and in the
direction of the quick lock. Do not apply any force
as this may damage sensor (1).
4. Insert the PCB in the connector strip of the
distributor board with the component side facing
the spacer bolt, and secure it on the spacer bolt
using the screw.
5. In the event of a defect, the LPG PCB as a
spare part is only available in a single package
with the CPU PCB of Visulas 532s / Trion
because these two components must be paired 1
and activated at the factory. This means that
the two components must always be Fig. 52:Installing the VITE option L PG board
exchanged together. They are available as
exchange parts against credit note after return of the defective
parts and checking of the VITE license.

3.8.2 Basic adjustment of the potentiometers

1. The potentiometers are preadjusted to the center position (5 kOhm) by the manufacturer.
Repeat this adjustment, if necessary.
2. Mount the alignment template 1294-327 with the
target 1772-218 on the headrest.

3.8.3 Preadjustment of the optical and mechanical center of the slit projector objective
lens
1. Prerequisites: a perfectly adjusted slit lamp (microscope and slit projector), preadjustment of
the motor control potentiometers (VX, VY, OX and OY) and micromanipulator potentiometers
as described in 3.5.3 (page 18). The housing must be open, the locking screws of the
potentiometer gears must have been loosened. The potentiometers have been adjusted to the
center position using the adjustment tool 1497-
336 as described in 3.5.4 (page 18).
(The setting of the potentiometers must remain
unchanged now).
2. Mount the target 1772-218 on the alignment
template 1294-327 using the magnet and align
it with the center of the field of view (or the
reticle of the eyepiece).
3. Focus the slit lamp on the target.
Note

4. Start the laser.
5. Unplug the motor connectors from the distributor PCB (this is required after booting the laser;
otherwise the safety logics will switch off the power supply to the slit lamp because it assumes
an error).
6. Disconnect the spring charged plastic pin, which is reducing the loose of the inner part of the
slit projector
7. Adjust the objective lens with the cam disk to the optical/mechanical center using the circular
markings. The ball bearings on the potentiometer gears should now coincide exactly with the
circular markings on the cam disk (look vertically from top in order to avoid a parallax effect).
It is also possible to position the center with help of the adjustment ring tool.
Handle this tool really carefully because of the risk of damaging the inner part of the
slit projector and only as long as the motors are disconnected!

8. Adjust the slit position horizontally (3.2.2, page 6) and vertically (3.2.3, page 7) to the center
of the field of view / the crosslines on the alignment template or the reticle of the eyepiece.
9. Switch off the slit lamp, remove the adjustment ring
tool,(if necessary) and plug the motor connectors.
10. Switch on the slit lamp, activate the LPG mode and
the aiming beam using the control panel of the
laser. Micromanipulator control via the joystick is
now disabled. The slit position changes on the basis VX OX OY VY
of the preadjustment of the motor control.
11. Use the two offset potentiometers for the OX and
OY positions (Fig. 55) to set the bearings of the cam
disc exactly coincident with the circular markings.
The slit position should then be reset to the crosslines
of the alignment template (or the reticle of the Fig. 55: Setting the potentiometers
eyepiece) (offset adjustment).

If the slit position is now not exactly on the lines,

the optical adjustment of microscope and slit
prism has to be corrected again.
(3.2.2 page 6 and 3.2.3 page 7)

12. Activate the aiming beam and press the “center” button. The slit, the
aiming beam, the circular markings and the crosslines of the alignment
template (or the reticle of the eyepiece) must now coincide.
Check the position of the target 1772-218. The small slit should be
between the two vertical lines and the aiming beam on the cross point.

Fig. 56: Check the position

of the target

13. Use the “x-ampl.” and “y-ampl.” buttons to check the

amplification of the LPG board. The aiming beam
should be in x and y direction exactly on the circle of
the target (4th line from the left and from below).

of the LPG board

14. Use the amplification potentiometers (VX and VY) on

the LPG board to adjust the aiming beam deflection in 1.
such a way that the aiming beam is on the circle of the
target (3).
15. Deactivate the LPG mode and use the micromanipulator
knob in its maximum deflection position to describe
a circle around the circle of the target. An ideal
adjustment status is obtained if the
micromanipulator describes a circle outside the target

24. The aiming beam jumps to the next position to be

calibrated. The preset position is shown in Fig. 66.
The calibration process starts at the top left,
continues step by step from the left to the right
and then goes to the next line. A total of 32
points must be calibrated.
25. To check the calibration, move the aiming beam
from calibration point to calibration point by
turning the encoder while the Spot cursor
position is active.
If there are any deviations in individual positions,
they can directly be recalibrated.
26. Save the value by pressing the 9 button. The
check can be directly continued afterwards. Fig. 66: Aiming beam jumps to the next position to

27. The “cont. test” button (Fig. 62) is used to activate an endurance test after exchange of the
manipulator drive to check the mechanical stability of the system.

28. The “def.data” button reloads default settings of

the calibration from the CPU board. You have to
confirm this procedure, because it will overwrite
your calibration. This function makes it easier for
you to relocate the right spot position after a
hardware exchange and the loss of data. In most
cases, the default data is useable without the
need for a new manual calibration.
