Figure 1 System identification label

The wording on this label is:

Model No. _____, Serial No. _____, Manufactured: _____.

Power Source

This product is intended to operate from a power source that will not apply more

than 250 volts rms between the supply conductors or between either the supply

conductor and ground. A protective ground connection by way of the grounding

connector in the power cord is essential for safe operation. The user should supply

power to the system that will provide at least the following amount of current at the

corresponding supply voltage:

100-240VAC, 50/60Hz, 1.5A MAX

The MicroImager system uses a single AC power cord to power a DC power brick. If

the power cord needs to be replaced for any reason, make sure that the

replacement cord is rated for the voltage and current noted above

Do Not Operate without Covers

To avoid personal injury, only operate this product with all covers and panels

installed.

Light Safety

The light source is located in the bottom module of the system. It is a 3 wavelength

LED that outputs <1mW. Removing any covers (all of them require tools) can

expose a user to the LED light. The light beam path is shown in Figure 2.

CAUTION

Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam and to reflections from

shiny objects.

This or any other low power LED can cause a temporary

inability to see clearly, much as is experienced by exposure to

the flash of a camera.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

other than those specified herein, may result in hazardous LED

light exposure.

Persons other than qualified maintenance personnel should not

unnecessarily remove covers.
