In order to maintain this condition and to ensure
safe operation, the user must follow the instruc-
tions and warnings contained in this Instructions
for use.

6.3 Special features of the instrument

For LED3/LED5/LED8, the external light source
has an electrical light output interlock. This en-
sures that the light beam output of the instrument
is closed when the light guide is detached. This
prevents the user from being harmed by the in-
tense light beam generated by the instrument.
Depending on the model of light engine, the light
source can be turned on/off through a variety of
methods. Please confirm the correct light source
operating methods are being used for the instru-
ment:
LED1: The light source can be turned on/off with
the manual light on/off switch on the side panel.
LED3: The light source can be turned on/off with
the manual light on/off switch on the front panel
or in combination with the electronic shutter in-
put on the rear panel.
LED5/8: There is no manual light on/off switch on
the light engine. The light source can be turned
on/off with either the LAS X software or with the
Leica Control POD.
WARNING
The power supply must be set up so that the
power voltage input is not obstructed and the
instrument can quickly be removed from the
power supply if necessary.
