Instrument care and maintenance
General care
•
When cleaning optical elements, use only optical-grade materials to avoid
scratching soft lens coatings.
•
Use the appropriate cleaning solutions for each component, as indicated in the
Decontamination Procedures below.
•
If liquid spills on the instrument, turn off the power immediately and wipe
dry.
•
Do not exchange objectives between instruments unless you know that the
components have been approved and recommended by Thermo Fisher
Scientific.
•
After using, cover the instrument with the supplied dust cover.
Note:
Always use the correct power supply. The power adaptor specifications
appear on the serial number label (above ports and plugs on the rear of the
instrument) and in the Specifications. Damage due to an incompatible power
adaptor is not covered by warranty.
CAUTION!
Never disassemble or service the instrument yourself. Do not
remove any covers or parts that require the use of a tool to obtain access to
moving parts. Operators must be trained before being allowed to perform
the hazardous operation. Unauthorized repairs may damage the instrument
or alter its functionality, which may void your warranty. Contact your local
EVOS
™
distributor to arrange for service.
IMPORTANT!
If you have any doubt about the compatibility of decontamination or
cleaning agents with parts of the equipment or with material contained in it,
contact Technical Support (page 116) or your local EVOS
™
distributor for
information.
Objective lens care
Clean each objective periodically or when necessary with an optical-grade swab
and a pre-moistened lens wipe (or lens paper moistened with lens cleaning
solution). To avoid scratching the soft lens coatings, use only optical-grade
cleaning materials and do not rub the lens.
Note:
To protect all optical components of the instrument, use the dust cover
when the instrument is not in use.
