WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
MJB4 - Warnings and Safety Rev07 05-10 3
1
Danger!
Do not open the machine until the
whole machine has been isolated from
the power supply!
Pay attention to this warning symbol on
covers!
Where applicable, observe local "log
out - tag out" regulations!
The individual electrical assemblies, especially bal-
lasts CIC1200, CPC200 and CPC350, contain no
parts which the user could repair or adjust.
1.5.4. Radiation Danger
The high luminous density of the exposure lamp can
cause eye damage.
In particular, the invisible ultraviolet component of
the light can lead to permanent eye damage or skin
burns.
Warning!
UV light can permanently damage your
eyes.
Covers over the ray path may not be re-
moved while the UV lamp is switched
on!
Lamp adjustment work may only be
carried out with UV-protective goggles
- also with skin protection in the case of
intensive radiation!
Light measurements on the exposure
chuck also require the use of UV-pro-
tective goggles.
UV-protective goggles must carry a marking indicat-
ing the protection class. The color of the goggles
provides no indication of their protective effect!
Warning!
The lamps of the microscope illumina-
tion provide light of high intensity. Es-
pecially exposure to the concentrated
light from the optical fibers may cause
eye injuries or skin irritations.
Do not activate the illumination light
while not completely covered and all
light paths and optical fibers are in
place and secured. Do not peer directly
to the light source - in particular not a
the end of a fiber.
1.5.5. Danger of Poisoning
1.5.5.1. Mercury Fumes following Lamp
Breakage
The biggest danger following a lamp explosion or
lamp breakage lies in the inhalation of the toxic mer
-
cury fumes. Mercury can cause acute and chronic
poisoning.
Note:
The EU safety data sheets can be found in the
Appendix and must be read.
Advice on minimizing health risks following a lamp
explosion:
• Leave the lamp house exhaust switched on (with
powerful lamps)!
• Leave the contaminated room immediately!
• Ventilate the room well for at least 30 minutes!
• Do not open the lamp house for the time being.
Allow the interior of the lamp house to cool down
for at least 1 hour!
• Carry out lamp house decontamination using an
appropriate decontamination agent (see section
on changing the exposure lamp)!
• Follow the general and national safety regula-
tions relating to Hg!
• A doctor should be consulted immediately if there
is a possibility of mercury fumes having been in
-
haled!
