7. Safety Notes for the CoolLED illumination system
• UV light may be emitted from this product depending on the
configuration selected. Avoid eye and skin exposure. Never look
directly into the light output beam from the Light Source or
accessories. The emissions could damage the cornea and retina
of the eye if the light is observed directly.
• Always ensure that the Light Source is securely attached to the
microscope with its light guide, prior to turning on the power.
This will minimize the risk of injury and damage.
• If for any reason the Light Source is to be operated when
not attached to a microscope, all personnel should wear eye
shielding and clothing to protect the exposed skin.
• Disconnecting the main supply is achieved by unplugging the
power cord from the power supply block or the Light Source.
Only plug in the power cable, once the Light Source is attached
to the microscope.
• There are no serviceable parts within the Light Source.
Removing any of the screws and covers will result in the safety
of the Light Source being impaired. The DC power supply unit
should be inspected periodically throughout the lifetime of the
system.
• To clean the exterior of the Light Source, use a slightly dampened
cloth with a simple water/detergent solution only. Avoid the
optical surfaces and lenses. Cleaning of optics should only be
carried out using the provided optical swabs with grade isopro-
panol or ethanol. Please note that the DC power supply unit
should be isolated prior to cleaning.
• Safety precautions must always be exercised when using
electrical equipment to prevent operator shock, fire hazard or
equipment damage.
• FIRE HAZARD: Do not drape or cover the light source or the light
guide while it is in use. Do not place the light guide on a drape
while it is in use.
8. Compliance:
The light source conforms to the requirements of the Safety
S tandards as follows:
• EN/IEC 61010-1:2010 Safety Requirements for Electrical
Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory use.
• EN62471:2008 Photo-biological Safety of Lamps and Lamp
Systems/Guidance on manufacturing requirements relating
to non-laser optical radiation safety. Risk Group 3.
