Fig. 17
7.1.3 Connecting the control panel
The connection cable of the control panel is
permanently connected to the microtome.
Insert the plug of the connection cable into the cor-
responding socket at the rear of the control panel.
To secure the plug, tighten the two screws.
7.1.4 Connecting the mains cable
The instrument is delivered with a set of dif-
ferent, country-specific mains cables.
The instrument may only be connected to a
grounded mains power outlet socket. To con-
nect the instrument only use one of the mains
cables that are supplied together with the in-
strument!
Before connecting the mains cable, check if the
mains switch
(3)
at the rear of the instrument is in
the OFF position (O).
Select the mains cable with the appropriate plug
for your local mains power outlet.
Connect the mains cable to the socket
(4)
at the rear
of the instrument.
Connect the mains plug to the wall outlet.
The instrument is ready to be switched on.
In case of exposure to extreme temperature
changes and high air humidity condensation
may form inside the instrument. If that type of
exposure has taken place, make sure to wait
at least 2 hours before switching on the in-
strument to allow it to adapt to the local am-
bient temperature. Failure to allow for the re-
quired waiting time may cause severe dam-
age to the instrument!
