Notes on Care, Maintenance and Service
The manufacturer of the unit cannot be held liable for damage resulting from operating errors,
negligence or unauthorized tampering with the device system, particularly as the result of removal or
replacement of parts of the unit or as the result of the use of unsuitable accessories from other
manufacturers. Any such action will render all warranty claims null and void and also laser safety is no
longer warranted.
You are well advised to arrange a service agreement with your nearest Carl Zeiss representative to
guarantee perfect functioning of the microscope system in the long term.
Use only original spare parts.
The customer has the possibility to change defective fuses. The positions of the fuses are shown in Fig. 1,
Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. The fuses are inserted into fuse holders (normally used for power supply units), bayonet
type fuses carriers, slot fuse carriers or screw type fuse carriers. The fuse type is given on the hardware
itself and also in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
For exchanging fuses proceed as follows:
•
Open the fuse carrier by turning 90° clockwise.
•
Pull out the fuse carrier and replace the fuse by a new one of the same type.
•
Insert the fuse carrier, push it in and lock it by turning 90° anti-clockwise.
Modifications and conversion work on the components of the system must only be carried out by the
manufacturer, by the service agency or by persons authorized and trained for this purpose by the
manufacturer.
Damaged units or parts may only be repaired or exchanged by the responsible service agency.
During maintenance or repair carried out by the service personnel the customer is requested to stand
aside and wear a pair of laser safety goggles if needed.
For exchanging the halogen lamp on stands with HAL 35 W proceed as follows:
Before exchanging the halogen lamp switch off all laser units.
Caution:
Hot surfaces on lamp housing (Fig. 18/
1
), heat sink (Fig. 18/
2
) and halogen lamp:
Make sure to let them cool down sufficiently!
Caution:
Do not touch the lamp with your bare hands; if required, clean the lamp using pure alcohol
before
switching the lamp on for the first time in order to prevent contaminations from
burning in.
•
Switch off the laser and let the halogen lamp cool down for about 15 minutes.
