Control keyboard
B-1000 illumination can be managed through
the keyboard placed on the left of the stand:
1) ON-OFF: press this button to turn on or off
the LED illuminator.
2) BOOST: press this button in order to incre-
ase the brightness (useful for high-magnifica-
tion objectives or very opaque specimens).
2) AUTO-OFF: if you want the illuminator to
switch off automatically, press this button until
15, 30 or 60 minutes delay is set. After this
period of time, the light will turn off. You have
to press the ON-OFF button to turn it on again.
