Never lift the microscope by the illumination unit, cross stage, viewing head or
coarse/fine focusing knobs. This can damage the microscope!
• Always carry the microscope with both hands.
• Only transport the microscopes of the NIB600 series using the carrying handles
provided.
1.8. Site location
• Select a suitable location before setting up the microscope.
• Place the microscope on a resistant surface away from strong sunlight, heat sources,
high humidity, high dust exposure as well as strong vibration.
Microscope usage environmental requirements:
Do not expose the device to temperatures below +10°C or higher than +35°C! If
the device is exposed to temperatures outside this range, this will cause irreparable
damage to optical and/or mechanical parts which are not covered by warranty.
Maximum relative humidity: 80% at 31°C, linear temperature down to 34°C is
70%, 60% at 37°C, 50% at 40°C.
• Place the microscope on a surface that meets the following criteria:
› Flat
› Vibration-free
› Level
› Hard surface and non-flammable
› Chemical and mechanical resistant
• To avoid blocking the natural convection air for cooling, ensure at least 10 centimetres
of space around the microscope, from the wall and other objects.
• Place the microscope so that you can disconnect it from the mains at any time.
• The mains cable must be freely accessible at all times, as the mains cable is intended
as a disconnecting device from the mains.
• Make sure any residual moisture is fully eliminated before use.
• For use in warm and humid climates, all optical components of the microscope are
already equipped with anti fungus protection.
• Grounding the microscope to avoid lightning strike
