Notes on instrument safety
The mechanical stage / measuring stage S mot. CAN may only be used for the applications
described in this operating manual. The manufacturer cannot assume any liability for other
applications of the instrument, including those of individual modules or single parts.
Modifications and repairs to this instrument and any devices operated in combination with the
microscope must be carried out by our service department or by authorized personnel only. The
manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by unauthorized access to the interior of
the instrument. Failure to comply with this shall also render any warranty claims invalid.
The device may only be operated by instructed personnel. The instruments may only be
operated by trained personnel who are aware of the possible dangers involved with microscopy
and the application concerned. The microscope is a high-precision instrument that can be
impaired in its performance or destroyed when handled improperly.
The mains plug of instruments with a metal housing (e.g. EMS 3) may only be connected to a
socket with earth contact. The protective capacity must not be rendered ineffective by using an
extension cable without a ground wire.
If it is determined that protective measures are no longer effective, the instrument must be
switched off and secured against inadvertent operation. Please contact a Zeiss service agency or
the Carl Zeiss Microscopy Service to repair the instrument.
Dust and dirt may impair the instrument’s performance. The instrument must be effectively
protected from such influences and covered with the dust cover when not in use. Always check
whether the instrument is switched off before you cover it. Broad temperature fluctuations,
direct sunlight and vibrations should be avoided.
The instruments are not equipped with special devices to protect against corrosive, potentially
infectious, toxic, radioactive or other substances that may be hazardous to health. All legal
regulations must be observed when handling such substances, particularly the relevant national
accident prevention regulations.
Defective instruments are not to be disposed of as ordinary domestic waste. They should be
disposed of in accordance with the relevant regulations.
Samples should also be disposed of in compliance with the relevant legal requirements and
internal operating procedures.
Before setting up the instrument, check whether it is suitable for the available line voltage.
Always disconnect the instrument from the power outlet before opening it and changing the
fuses.
Only the specified fuses may be used.
The use of makeshift fuses and short-circuiting of the fuse holders are not permitted.
Controller EMS 3 supplies voltage to the mechanical / measuring stage S 150 x 100 mot. CAN.
The EMS 3 permits mains voltages in the 100 to 240 V ±10% 50/60 Hz range without
additional change in the voltage.
Operation of the instrument in explosive environments is not permissible.
