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 ZEISS representative to guarantee
perfect functioning of the microscope system in the long term.
Use only original spare parts.
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.
Do not install any other software without talking to your ZEISS representative.
The LSM computer is a system computer controlling a high end microscope system. The computer must
not be used as a general workstation with frequent updates of windows patches or security patches. The
LSM software is released with a specific windows version and patch and this must not be changed unless
otherwise released by Carl Zeiss Microscopy.
Damaged units or parts may only be repaired or exchanged 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.
We strongly recommend to purchase the calibration objective as the calibration and test tasks which are
provided with the system maintenance tool (see operating manual) require this tool.
Especially the scanner calibration is recommended every 1-2 years, when the high speeds (13 and above)
are used frequently.

Exchanging Fuses
The customer has the possibility to change defective fuses. The positions of the fuses are shown in Fig. 1
and Fig. 2. The fuses are inserted into fuse holders (normally used for power supply units), bayonet type
fuses carriers, slot fuse carriers or screw type fuse carriers. The fuse type is given on the hardware itself
and also in Fig. 2.
For exchanging fuses proceed as follows:
•
Open the fuse carrier by turning 90° clockwise.
•
Pull out the fuse carrier and replace the fuse by a new one of the same type.
•
Insert the fuse carrier, push it in and lock it by turning 90° anti-clockwise.
