2 Notes on Instrument Safety
The VARIOSCAN high resolution is a high-guality, carefully calibrated
instrument. The casing of the camera head may be opened only by our
service or other authorised persons. Unauthorised tampering with the
equipment will forfeit any rights to claim under warranty.
The use of accessories or spares on the VARIOSCAN high resolution
that have not been recommended expressly by JENOPTIK Laser,
Optik, Systeme GmbH may result in malfunction or damages. The
manufacturer will not assume any liability for such damage.
VARIOSCAN high resolution Model 3021
When handling liquid nitrogen, observe the statutory regulations acc. to
DIN 52900. The relevant rules of this standard are interpreted in
Section 6 of this manual. Never cover the safety hole of the Dewar cap.
lf not in the camera head, transport liquid nitrogen only in licensed
containers having a stable position on the transport vehicle.
lf you incline the camera head too much (>70°, approx.), nitrogen may
leak from the Dewar cap. Therefore, when the Dewar is fully filled with
nitrogen, transport the camera head only in upright position. The filling
volume of the Dewar is 0.5 l approximately (about 5 funnels full of liquid
nitrogen).
Also observe the "Caution" label on the rear of the camera head.
Caution!
Mounted to its original tripod and set up at the average eye height of
1.70 m, the VARIOSCAN camera head features a high stability against
tilting over into any direction (up to 10° inclination under a load of
160 N). Consider that the stability reduces with higher extension of the
tripod legs.
