Switching off the main switch

Leica CV5030 - Robotic Coverslipper
• STANDBY deactivates the standby mode:
• READY LED lights up in red,
• The mountant bottle is vented,
• The gripper closes and a lifted coverslip is discarded,
• Pressure and vacuum are not adjusted,
• Ventilating fan is running.
• The unit can only be reactivated by pressing STANDBY for 2s.
• Before activating the standby mode, all slides must be removed from
the output racks and the input rack must be removed from the bath.
• If the unit is switched off for a short period of time (e.g. overnight), the
dispensing valve should be moved to the paused position so that the
nozzle dips into the filled prime container.
• If the unit is switched off for a longer period of time (e.g. over the
weekend), remove the mountant from the mountant bottle. Clean the
bottle, dispensing valve and nozzle by rinsing with a suitable solu-
tion*.
• Empty the bath into a tight-sealing container and discard according
to existing lab regulations, if necessary.
• Before de-energizing via main power switch:
• Remove the slide rack from the bath,
• Remove the output racks,
• Empty the bottle for mountant media and thoroughly rinse the dis-
pensing valve with solvent, then blow it clean with air,
• Empty/dry all containers with solvent (particularly the bath) or re-
move them from the unit and place them in a suitable vent.
• For extended non-operating times (e. g. overnight) place the unit in
standby mode and do not switch it off via the main power switch.
If solvents remain in the unit after it is de-energized, solvent va-
pors can develop. If the unit is not operated using a vent, danger
of fire and poisoning exits!
* e.g. xylene or substitute – depending on the mountant used
