7
The desktop power supply unit of the Colibri 7 solid-state light source permits mains voltages in
the 100 V to 240 V ±10 %, 50 Hz to 60 Hz range without the voltage setting on the
instrument having to be changed.
The desktop power supply unit should not be brought into contact with moisture. If the
housing is damaged, the desktop power supply unit should be taken out of use. Colibri 7 must
only be operated with the desktop power supply unit contained in the scope of delivery.
Before connecting the desktop power supply unit to a power outlet check whether it is suitable
for the available line voltage.
The power plug of the desktop power supply unit must be inserted in an outlet featuring a
grounding (earth) contact. The protective capacity must not be rendered ineffective by the use
of extension cables with no grounding conductor.
Do not substitute detachable power cables with power cables that do not meet the
specifications. Only the specified power cables should be used.
If it is determined that protective measures are no longer effective, the instrument must be
taken out of service and secured against inadvertent operation. To repair the instrument,
contact the ZEISS service team in Germany (see page 33) or your local ZEISS overseas
representative.
Colibri 7, if equipped with the corresponding LED modules, emits ultraviolet radiation that may
cause burns to the eyes and skin. Never look directly into the light and avoid direct skin
exposure. 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. Failure to follow these instructions may result in eye
injury!
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!
Hot surfaces on lamp module! Avoid touching the hot lamp housing.
