General Instructions

Safety Concept

Before using your macroscope for the ﬁrst time,

please read the "Safety Concept" brochure

included with your instrument. It contains addi-

tional information about handling and care.

Use in clean rooms

The Leica Z series can be used in clean rooms

without any problems.

Cleaning

★Do not use any unsuitable cleaning agents,

chemicals or techniques for cleaning.

★Never use chemicals to clean colored

surfaces or accessories with rubberized

parts. This could damage the surfaces, and

specimens could be contaminated by abra-

ded particles.

★In most cases, we can provide special solu-

tions on request. Some products can be

modiﬁed, and we can oﬀer other accesso-

ries for use in clean rooms.

Servicing

★Repairs may only be carried out by Leica

Microsystems-trained service technicians.

Only original Leica Microsystems spare

parts may be used.

Responsibilities of person in charge of

instrument

★Ensure that the Leica macroscope is opera-

ted, maintained and repaired by authorized

and trained personnel only.

Description

★The individual modules fulﬁll the highest

requirements for observation and docu-

mentation with the Leica Z series.

Intended use

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet.

Non-intended use

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet.

Never use Z series macroscopes or their compo-

nents for surgical procedures (for example, on

the eye) unless they are speciﬁcally intended

for that purpose.

The instruments and accessories described in

this operating manual have been tested for

safety and potential hazards. The responsible

Leica aﬃliate must be consulted whenever

the instrument is altered, modiﬁed or used in

conjunction with non-Leica components that

are outside of the scope of this manual.

Unauthorized alterations to the instrument or

noncompliant use shall void all rights to any

warranty claims.

Place of use

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet.

★Electrical components must be placed at

least 10 cm away from the wall and from

ﬂammable substances.

★Avoid large temperature ﬂuctuations,

direct sunlight and vibrations. These condi-

tions can distort measurements and micro-

graphic images.

★In warm and warm-damp climatic zones,

the individual components require special

care in order to prevent the build-up of

fungus.

Responsibilities of person in charge of

instrument

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet.

Ensure that:

★The Z series macroscopes and accessories

are operated, maintained and repaired by

authorized and trained personnel only.

★All operators have read, understood and

observe this User Manual, and particularly

the safety regulations.

Repairs, service work

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet.

★Only original Leica Microsystems spare

parts may be used.

Safety Instructions (cont'd.)

Transport

★Use the original packaging for shipping or

transporting the individual modules and

the accessory components.

★In order to prevent damage from vibra-

tions, all moving parts that (according to

the user manual) can be assembled and

disassembled by the customer should be

disassembled and packed separately.

Integration in third-party products

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet.

Disposal

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet.

Legal requirements

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet.

EC Declaration of Conformity

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet.

Health risks

Workplaces equipped with macroscopes faci-

litate and improve the viewing task, but they

also impose high demands on the eyes and

holding muscles of the user. Depending on the

duration of uninterrupted work, asthenopia

and musculoskeletal problems may occur. For

this reason, appropriate measures for reduction

of the workload must be taken:Optimal arran-

gement of workplace, work assignments and

work ﬂow (changing tasks frequently).

★Thorough training of the personnel, giving

consideration to ergonomic and organizati-

onal aspects.

The ergonomic design and construction of the

Leica Z series are intended to reduce the exer-

tion of the user to a minimum.

Direct contact with eyepieces can be a poten-

tial transmission path for bacterial and viral

infections of the eye. The risk can be kept to a

minimum by using personal eyepieces for each

individual or detachable eyecups.

Leica Z6 APO A / Z16 APO A User Manual 7

Safety Instructions (cont'd.)

Light sources: Safety Instructions

Protective measures of the manufacturer:

★UV protection screen in front of the speci-

men plane prevents the user from looking

directly into the UV rays.

★Dummy ﬁlter carriers in the free positions

of the rapid ﬁlter changer prevent direct UV

radiation from reaching the eyes.

★UV ﬁlters are installed in the observation

beam paths to protect the eyes.

★The stray-light protection on the lamp

housing prevents irradiation of the hands.

Warning

UV radiation could damage the eyes. Therefore:

★Never look into the light spot on the speci-

men plane without a UV protection screen.

★Never look into the eyepieces if no excita-

tion ﬁlter is in the beam path.

★Fill empty ﬁlter positions with dummy ﬁlter

carriers.

★Do not select a white, strongly reﬂective

background for the specimen.

Supply unit

Always unplug the supply unit from the power

supply:

★When installing and disassembling the

lamp housing

★Before opening the lamp housing

★When replacing the high-pressure mercury

lamp and other parts, such as the heat-

absorbing ﬁlter or the collector

★During maintenance work on the supply

unit

Lamp housing

★Never open the lamp housing while the

lamp is switched on. Risk of explosion, UV

exposure, blinding!

★Before opening the lamp housing, allow it

to cool oﬀ for at least 15 minutes. Danger

of explosion!

★Never cover the air duct on the lamp

housing. Danger of ﬁre!

Leica Z6 APO A / Z16 APO A User Manual 8

Mercury lamp

★Follow the user manual and safety instruc-

tions provided by the lamp manufactu-

rer, and, in particular, the section on how

to proceed if a lamp breaks and releases

mercury.

★For transport, remove the mercury lamp,

transport it in its original packaging and

protect moving parts in the lamp housing

using the transport anchors.

★When it has reached the end of its rated life

(follow the manufacturer's speciﬁcations

and the minute meter on the supply unit).

★To minimize the risk of explosion, replace a

discolored mercury lamp promptly

★Leica Microsystems assumes no liability

for damage caused by exploding, incor-

rectly installed or improperly used mercury

lamps.
