KL 1600 LED – Operating instructions
5/10
The KL 1600 LED emits high-intensity visible light. Because light-absorbing materials have the
physical property of converting incident light into heat, damage can arise to heat-sensitive or
flammable light-absorbing materials. To avoid such thermal damage and the potential danger of fire
or burns, please obey the following instructions:
•
Never cover up the light guide socket or light guide exit (danger of fire)!
•
Never cover up the open light guide socket or light guide exit with your hands or other parts of
the body (danger of burns)!
•
When illuminating heat-sensitive or flammable light-absorbing objects (e.g. in microscopy),
special care must be taken to ensure that an appropriate suitable distance between light guide
and object, and a suitable lamp brightness level are selected so that no thermal damage occurs.
•
When the light source is switched on, all light guide exists not being used in the working
procedure must always be a safe distance – at least 10 cm – away from heat-sensitive or
flammable light-absorbing materials (prevention of possible danger of fire). Care must, therefore,
be taken that each light guide exit is at the above-mentioned safe distance away from, for
example, dark/colored textiles and dark/colored wooden or plastic surfaces.
•
To avoid unnecessary stressing of biological tissue by illuminating with visible light, reduce the
brightness and duration of illumination to the absolute minimum required level.
Please make sure that your KL 1600 LED cold light source is operated at the voltage
stated on the model plate (10).
♦
The light source has been developed for operation in dry rooms only! (see Point 6 “Technical
data”)!
♦
The instrument must not be used in explosive areas.
♦
Please ensure the air vents (7, 9) are always kept free. In the case of insufficient cooling an
integrated thermo switch continuously regulates the light intensity (see Point 4 “Troubleshooting)
♦
Safe disconnection from the power supply occurs only by pulling out the mains plug.
♦
The instrument may neither be opened nor dismantled. Technical modifications are forbidden.
Repairs must only be carried out by the manufacturer or by its authorized customer service
agency
♦
Please ensure that every user of the system has quick access to these operating instructions.
♦
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by failure to obey these instructions.
