2       Introduction

2.1 General Information

This manual is intended to assist users in the installation, operation and maintenance of Release Version 001
of the Surface Concept Time-of-Flight Microscope PickUp-ToF. It is divided into 5 chapters. 

2.2 Safety Instructions

Please read this manual carefully before performing any electrical or electronic operations and strictly follow
the safety rules given within this manual.

The following symbols appear throughout the manual: 

The   “note   symbol”   marks   text   passages   that   contain   important   information/hints
about the operation of the device. Follow this information to ensure a proper operation
of the device.

The   “caution   symbol”   marks   warnings,   which   are   given   to   prevent   an   accidentally
damaging   of   the   device.   Do  NOT  ignore   these   warnings   and   follow   them  strictly.
Otherwise no guarantee is given for arose damages.

The “high voltage symbol” marks warnings, given in context with the description of the
operation/use of high voltage supplies and/or high voltage carrying parts.  
Hazardous voltages are present that can cause serious or fatal injuries. Therefore only
persons   with   the   appropriate   training   are   allowed   to   carry   out   the   installation,
adjustment and repair work.
