Installation Notes
The DirectFRAP imaging system must be installed and commissioned by technicians trained in
laser safety and authorized by Carl Zeiss. The client is liable to pay the costs of services
rendered by Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH.
To install the DirectFRAP imaging system, ensure a minimum distance of 0.5 m between the
wall and the rear of the system. This distance is necessary for adjustment and maintenance.
Do not set up the equipment near heat sources, such as heaters or direct sunlight. Do not
cover ventilation slots on the microscope system to avoid heat build-up.
The power plug must be inserted in outlets with a grounding (earth) contact. The protective
capacity must not be rendered ineffective by using an extension cable without a ground wire.
Before connecting the power cables, verify that the available line voltage conforms to the
voltage specified on the type label of the laser bench tower or rack.
Always disconnect the power cable before opening the device and replacing fuses.
Only use fuses which comply with the specifications on the fuse carriers and in this manual.
The use of makeshift fuses and short-circuiting of fuse holders are not permitted.
For reasons of laser safety, the C mount outputs of the microscope must be fitted either with
a camera or closed by a protective cap.
If any protective measures are no longer effective, the device must be taken out of service and
secured against inadvertent operation. Please contact a Carl Zeiss service agency or the Carl
Zeiss Microscopy Service to repair the instrument.
