Electrical Safety
Connect the microscope and stage controller to a power supply line that includes a switch or
other adequate means of disconnection from the electricity supply.
Only plug the microscope and stage controller into electricity-supply sockets that are
provided with a protective ground (earth) connection. The stage control box and the
microscope must be earthed.
If fuses need replacing, use only those with the required current rating and of the specified
type. Do not use makeshift fuses and do not short-circuit fuse holders.
When the microscope and stage controller are connected to its electricity supply, terminals
may be live. Removing covers other than those which can be removed by hand is likely to
expose live parts.
NOTE: There are no user-serviceable parts in the microscope or the stage controller.
Capacitors inside the microscope and stage controller may still be charged even if the
microscope or stage controller has been disconnected from all voltage sources.
Disconnect the microscope and stage controller from all voltage sources before they are
opened for any adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repair. Any adjustment,
replacement, maintenance or repair must be performed by a PerkinElmer Service Engineer.
The microscope and stage controller must only be connected to equipment meeting the
requirements of IEC 61010-1 (Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement,
control and laboratory use – general requirements) or IEC 60950 (Safety of information
technology equipment).
Any interruption of the protective ground (earth) conductor inside or
outside the microscope or stage controller or disconnection of the
protective ground (earth) terminal can make the microscope or stage
controller dangerous.
