Information for operating the LED
transmitted light brightfield stage
40 | VisiLEDs MC Serie
● Please take care that the VisiLED system is used with electronic power
supplies and power cords specified by Schott – only then is faultless
operation and conformity with standards guaranteed!
● Please ensure that the electronic power supply is only operated with the
specified mains voltage. The power supply must only be plugged into
sockets which are earthed. More details regarding the electronic power
supply can be found in Section 11, Technical data.
● In the event of insufficient cooling the integrated thermo guard switches off
the illumination unit temporarily to protect the LEDs.
The illumination system has been developed for operation in dry rooms
●
only.
● The system must not be used in explosive areas.
● Safe disconnection from the power supply takes places only by pulling out
the mains plug.
● Before changing the system configuration always switch off the controller
and pull out the mains plug.
● For reasons of energy saving we recommend to pull out the mains plug and
so disconnect the electronic power supply from the mains voltage when the
VisiLED system is not in use.
● The electronic power supply or the VisiLED controllers or illumination units
must not be opened or dismantled. Technical modifications to any parts of
the VisiLED system are forbidden. Repairs must be carried out only by the
manufacturer or by its authorized customer service agencies.
Please ensure that every user of the VisiLED system has quick access to these
●
instructions.
● The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by failure to obey these
instructions.
● The LED transmitted light brightfield stage has been developed for opera-
tion in a microscope stand or in another metallic heat sink.
If the transmitted light brightfield stage is operated without heat sink the
●
metal housing can heat up to approx. 45 °C. However, the diffuser disc and
the specimen field do not heat up to the same level.
If the housing is accidentally touched the temperature may seem unplea-
santly warm but it is technically safe. The operation of the illumination is
not affected!
