Notes on Care, Maintenance and Service
The manufacturer of the unit cannot be held liable for damage resulting from operating errors,
negligence or unauthorized tampering with the device system, particularly as the result of removal or
replacement of parts of the unit or as the result of the use of unsuitable accessories from other
manufacturers.
Any such action will render all warranty claims null and void and also laser safety is no longer warranted.
You are well advised to arrange a service agreement with your nearest Carl Zeiss representative to
guarantee perfect functioning of the microscope system in the long term.
Modifications and conversion work on the components of the system must only be carried out by the
manufacturer, by the service agency or by persons authorized and trained for this purpose by the
manufacturer.
Damaged units or parts may only be repaired or maintained by the responsible service agency.
During maintenance or repair carried out by the service personnel the customer is requested to stand
aside and wear a pair of laser safety goggles if needed.
Before opening the housing of the halogen lamp switch off all laser units.
Care operations that may be carried out by operating staff are limited to cleaning painted and glass
surfaces.
•
Before cleaning the instrument make sure the main power supply is disconnected.
•
Cleaning painted surfaces
To do this, use a clean cloth that has been moistened in a mixture of water and some detergent; do
not use any solvent, however. Dry with a lint-free cloth.
•
Cleaning glass surfaces
Glass surfaces that have become soiled or which are marked with fingerprints may be rubbed with a
clean optical cleaning cloth.
If soiling is persistent, dip the optical cleaning cloth into a mixture of distilled water and a small
quantity of detergent.
To complete cleaning, lightly breathe on the glass surface and rub it dry with a clean cloth. Lint or dust
is best removed with a clean brush.
•
Make sure that no cleaning liquid penetrates into the system.
•
Dust filters in the ventilation entries of the system electronic rack have to be replaced every 6 month.
For replacement please contact your local service representative.
