Leica EL6000 – Safety Notes (cont'd.)
•
The Leica EL6000 compact light source
generates high-energy light with invisi-
ble components. There is a risk of being dazzled
or blinded by light! Never look directly into the
light guide output of the instrument or into
the output of the light guide connected to the
instrument. Always ensure that the output of
the connected light guide is securely connected
to the system to be illuminated before switch-
ing on the compact light source. Furthermore,
before switching on the compact light source,
dim the light output all the way using the
intensity switch (left limit stop of the switch) to
prevent damage to the connected system.
•
To prevent damage to the light guide
connected to the device, the heat-
absorbing filter inserted into the device must
be free of damage (gaps, cracks etc.). If the
heat-absorbing filter is not inserted or is defec-
tive, the service life of the light guide will be
decreased.
•
The interior of the lamp inserted into the
unit contains highly toxic substances.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the lamp
according to applicable regulations. The manu-
facturer of the lamp provides corresponding
information, for example in the lamp's shipping
documents. Follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions in case the lamp bursts.
•
The Leica EL6000 compact light source
is designed for a voltage range of
100 – 240 VAC, 50 – 60 Hz. Within this voltage
and frequency range, the instrument always
adapts to the connected power supply. Operat-
ing the instrument with a power supply voltage
outside this range can destroy the instrument
and the connected components!
•
Only fuses of the specified type and
the listed rated current may be used as
replacements. The use of incorrect fuses may
result in a fire hazard.
•
The instrument is intended exclusively
for operation in dry rooms. Do not
use the instrument in rooms with explosion
hazard.
