• Before connecting the power cable, make sure that the power switch
(27) on the rear of the instrument is switched to 'O' = OFF.
• Various country-specific power cables are provided with the instru-
ment. Make sure that the power cable used has the correct plug for
the power socket.
• Insert the connector of the power cable into the connection socket
(26) and plug the power plug into the power socket.
Turn the instrument on with the power switch at the rear.
This is followed by a beep.
The instrument initializes.
The display (here only as an example) of the software version follows in
the four-digit LED display. This display disappears after 2 seconds and
reads '0000'. After the microtome is switched on, the display fields and
LEDs of all activated functions are lit up on the instrument's control panel
and display field.
The three-digit LED display indicates the last value set for the section
thickness or trimming section thickness, depending on which setting was
last activated. This is indicated simultaneously on the control panel and
microtome. The LED of the active mode (here the section thickness) is
illuminated in green.
If the yellow LED in the LOCK field (4) of the control panel is lit, the
mechanical handwheel lock or the handwheel brake
activated.
The instrument cannot be started as long as the LED is lit.
