Notes on instrument safety
The KF 2
ICS
microscope, including its original accessories, may only be used for the microscope
applications described in this manual.
The manufacturer cannot assume any liability for any other applications, possibly also involving
individual modules or single parts. This also applies to all service or repair work which is not
carried out by authorized service personnel. Furthermore, all guarantee/warranty claims also
expire for all those parts which were not directly affected by the repair.
Particular attention must be paid to the following warning notes:
The KF 2
ICS
microscope was designed, produced and tested in compliance with DIN EN 61010-1
(IEC 1010-1), Safety requirements for electrical measuring, control and laboratory instruments, and
meets the requirements of appendix I of directive 73/23/EC and the relevant CSA and UL directives. The
instrument meets the requirements of the EC directive 89/336/EC and the EMC legislation of November
9th 1992. This operation manual includes information and warnings which must be observed by the
user.
The KF 2
ICS
microscope is categorized as Protection Class I and has been allocated the
protection degree IP 20. The power plug must be inserted in a properly installed socket
featuring a grounding contact. The grounding effect must not be made ineffective by an
extension cable which does not have a protective ground wire.
Before switching on the instrument, check whether it is suitable for the line voltage present.
The voltage is indicated on the underside of the microscope stand. Incorrect voltage settings
can destroy the instrument.
If it is established that the protection measures are no longer effective, the instrument must be
switched off and safeguarded against inadvertent operation. For the repair of the KF 2
ICS
microscope, please contact the Carl Zeiss Microscopy Service in Germany (see page 4-6) or your
local Carl Zeiss agency.
Dust and dirt can impair the performance of the KF 2
ICS
microscope. Therefore, protect the
instrument against these influences as far as possible. If the microscope will not be used for
longer periods of time (more than 6 hours), it must be protected using the dust cover.
