Before switching on the control unit please check whether it is suitable for the available line
voltage. Disconnect the power plug of the control unit before opening the device and before
changing the fuses!
Take care that only fuses for the rated power are used. Use of makeshift fuses and short-
circuiting of the fuse holders are not permitted.
The lamp module, if equipped with the corresponding LED modules or if a white light source
coupled by a liquid light guide is used, emits ultraviolet radiation that may cause burns to the
eyes and skin. Therefore, never look directly into the light and avoid direct incidence of the light
on your skin. When operating the microscope, always use the protective devices belonging to
the instrument.
Never look into the light beam – neither with nor without optical instruments, even not if you
simply want to observe the specimen. Your eyes may be damaged in case of non-observance!
Placing objects against or covering ventilation slats of the control unit may lead to heat build-up
that may damage the device and, in extreme cases, cause a fire. Always keep the ventilation
slats clear and ensure that no objects enter the device through the ventilation slats.
Dirt and dust may impair the performance of the device. Therefore, the device must largely be
protected from these influences and covered with the dust cover when not being in use. Before
covering the device, please make sure that it has been switched off.
Take appropriate protective measures if the specimen releases noxious gases, dust, and vapors,
secondary radiation or explosive substances as a result of the UV radiation!
If an external white light source (e.g. HXP 120 V) is used in connection with Colibri.2, never
look directly into the light guide output of the white light source to avoid the risk of being
dazzled and going blind.
The white light source must not be switched on until after having connected the output of the
liquid light guide tightly with the Colibri.2 system.
When using the white light source HXP120 V, please pay attention to the manufacturer's
operating instructions.
