Due to the heavy weight of microscopes, a forklift has to be used to remove the microscopes
from the wooden crate:
§
The forklift used must have a sufficient load capacity.
§
Refer to the weights of the microscope stated in this chapter.
Conditions during
Storage and
Transport
The packed microscope has to be stored in a dry place.
Allowable
temperature
Allowable temperature during on-site storage and transport:
§
Between −10 °C and +70 °C
Info
24 hours before installation
of the Microscope System it is required that the boxes be at
recommended room temperature to avoid ingress of humidity, which is very harmful to optical
paths, and to ensure effective stability of the Microscope System during installation and test-
ing.
8.3 Disposal
The Microscope System and its components must not be disposed of as domestic waste or
through municipal disposal companies. They must be disposed of in accordance with applicable
regulations (WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU). ZEISS has implemented a system for the return and recy-
cling of devices in member states of the European Union that ensures suitable reuse according to
the EU Directives mentioned. The customer is responsible for decontamination.
Info
Detailed information on disposal and recycling is available from your ZEISS Sales & Service Part-
ner.
8.4 Decontamination
A decontamination statement must be submitted before returning any used objects to the ZEISS
location.
If reliable decontamination cannot be guaranteed, the hazard must be marked according to appli-
cable regulations. In general, a well-visible warning sign must be affixed to the article itself and to
the outside of the packaging, together with detailed information on the type of contamination.
