Notes on instrument safety
The transillumination top 450 mot. is equipped with a power supply unit that enables the use
of mains voltages in the 100 to 240 V ±10% 50/60 Hz range without additional voltage
change.
The power supply unit with plastic housing is designed to conform with protective class I. The
unit may not be used if the housing becomes damaged. The transillumination top 450 mot.
may only be operated with the PSU supplied.
The table power supply should not be brought into contact with moisture. The power supply
must be disconnected from the mains supply before cleaning.
The transillumination top 450 mot. 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.
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.
