DISCLAIMER

The ultra high speed wavelength switching xenon arc lamp Lambda DG-4/5 system is

designed for the specific use as a microscope illuminator and optical wavelength switcher, and

no other use is recommended.
This instrument should only be used in a laboratory environment for use on animal tissues.

It is not intended for, nor should it be used in, human experimentation or applied to humans

in any way. This is not a medical device.
Do not open or attempt to repair the instrument without expressed and explicit instructions

from Sutter Instrument Company. Extreme heat and high voltages are present and could

cause injury.
Do not allow unauthorized and or untrained operatives to use this device.
Any misuse will be the sole responsibility of the user/owner and Sutter Instruments assumes

no implied or inferred liability for direct or consequential damages from this instrument if it

is operated or used in any way other than for which it is designed.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Electrical

Operate the Lambda DG-4/5 using 110-120 V AC, 60 Hz, or 220-240 V AC., 50 Hz line

voltage. This instrument is designed for connection to a standard laboratory power outlet

(Overvoltage Category II), and because it is a microprocessor--controlled device, it should

be accorded the same system wiring precautions as any 'computer type' system. A surge

protector and power regulator are recommended.

Fuse Replacement: Replace only with the same type and rating:

5 x 20 mm glass tube, time delay (medium), time lag, or “slow blow”)
Rating:

Line Voltage: 100 - 120VAC

(Voltage Switch Setting: 110V)

Line Voltage: 220 - 240VAC

(Voltage Switch Setting: 220V)
