Leica MATS, User Manual

Ensure that

• the Leica thermocontrol system MATS is operated, main-

tained and repaired only by authorized and trained personnel.

• the operating personnel has read and understood this user

manual for the stereomicroscope or microscope and particu-
larly all safety regulations and applies them.

• Repairs may be performed only by service technicians

trained by Leica Microsystems.

• Only original Leica Microsystems spare parts may be used.
• Disconnect the power supply for maintenance and repair

work, otherwise there is a risk of injury through electric
shock.

• Only use the power cables listed on page 16.
• Inspect the power cable regularly for damage. If it is defec-

tive, replace it immediately, because it could cause the
instrument and ancillary equipment to become energized and
thereby endangering personnel. 

• Observe proper cable routing so that no one can become

entangled in it or fall over it. The instrument could tip over
and be damaged.

• Avoid pulling at the power cable.

Be careful when handling liquids. Spilled liquids on electrical
devices can energize the instrument and ancillary equipment,
possibly causing personal injuries or damage to instruments.
