ZEISS INTRODUCTION Axio Imager 2
Notes on device safety
8 430000-7544-001 01/2016
The Axio Imager 2 microscopes and their original accessories are to be used only for the microscopy
procedures described in this Operating Manual.
Particular attention must be paid to the following instructions:
The manufacturer cannot
assume any liability for any other applications of the instrument,
including the use of individual modules or components. This also applies to all service or repair
work that is not carried out by authorized service personnel. Failure to comply with this shall
render all warranty claims invalid.
The power plugs may only be connected to sockets with an earth contact. The protective
capacity must not be rendered ineffective by the use of extension cables with no grounding
conductor.
If protection
measures no longer prove effective, the instrument must be switched off and
safeguarded against inadvertent operation. Please contact ZEISS Service or the Carl Zeiss
Microscopy Service to repair the instrument.
On stands with motorized focusing drive, there is the risk of fingers being crushed between the
stage carrier and the base of the stand when the stage is lowered. Do not, therefore, place your
hands under the stage carrier.
The manual microscopes (Axio Imager.A2, .A2 LED, .A2m, .D2 and .D2m) have a power supply
integrated in the stand which allows line voltages to be used in the ranges 100 to 127 V and
200 to 240 V AC ±10 %, 50 Hz – 60 Hz, without the voltage setting on the instrument having
to be changed.
The motorized models (Axio Imager.M2, .M2m, .Z2 and .Z2m) are powered by the separate
power supply VP232-2 belonging to the stand. The voltage setting need not be changed in the
line voltage range 100 to 240 V ±10 %, 50 Hz – 60 Hz on this power supply, either.
The HBO 100 (ebq 100 dc) and XBO 75 (ebx 75
isolated) ballast units are designed for a line
voltage range from 100 to 240 V AC, 50 Hz – 60 Hz
, and automatically adapt to the supplied
line voltage.
Before switching on the instrument, check whether suitable line voltage is available.
Disconnect the device from the mains power supply before gaining access to the interior of the
device or changing the fuse. See Section 5.2.2.
Only use fuses specified in the information given in the Technical Data. Use of makeshift fuses
and short-circuiting of the fuse holders are not permitted.
The Axio
Imager microscopes are not equipped with any special devices for protection from
substances that are corrosive, potentially infectious, toxic, radioactive, or other substances that
could be hazardous to health. Observe all legal regulations, parti
cularly the relevant national
accident prevention regulations when handling such substances.
