Safe disconnection from the power supply is ensured exclusively by removing the mains plug.
The switch on the microscope only switches into standby mode.
Do not replace detachable mains cables by inadequately designed mains cables. Only the
specified power supply lines may be used.
The microscope and the controller K LED are equipped with a desktop power unit each
allowing line voltages in the range from 100 V to 240 V ±10 %, 50 – 60 Hz, without the need
for changing the voltage setting on the device.
The desktop power unit meets the requirements of protection class II (with protective
insulation). If its casing is damaged, put the power unit out of operation. The microscope may
only be operated with the desktop power unit supplied with the instrument.
Changing the lamps on the cold light source is only admissible in accordance with the
manufacturer's operating manual. If the appropriate instructions are not complied with, there is
a risk of burns and explosion when changing the lamp.
Defective devices should not be disposed of with household waste; dispose of them in
compliance with the statutory provisions.
Samples must also be disposed of appropriately in accordance with the applicable statutory
provisions and internal work instructions.
The stereo microscope Stemi 508 incl. its original accessories may only be used for the
applications described in this operating manual. The manufacturer cannot assume any liability
for other applications, including those of individual modules or single components.
Changes to and maintenance on this device and on devices which are operated together with
the microscope may only be performed by our service or by authorized persons. The
manufacturer of the devices does not accept any liability for damage due to unauthorized
interventions in the device. Moreover, such interventions invalidate all guarantee / warranty
claims.
Dirt and dust may impair the performance of the device. The device must therefore be
protected from such influences to the greatest possible extent and covered with the dust cover
when not in use. Before covering the device, always make sure that it is definitely switched OFF.
Considerable temperature fluctuations, direct exposure to sunlight and vibrations should be
avoided.
Blocking or covering ventilation louvers may result in heat accumulation which may damage the
device and in extreme cases even cause fire. Always keep ventilation louvers free and do not
insert or allow any objects to fall into them. All electrical components and parts must be located
at a distance of min. 15 cm from flammable objects and walls.
