Leica M205 FA Leica EL6000 Safety Notes contd, Use the instrument in rooms with explosion hazard

Leica EL6000 – Safety Notes (cont'd.)

•The Leica EL6000 compact light source generates high-energy light with invisi-

ble components. There is a risk of being dazzled or blinded by light! Never look directly into the light guide output of the instrument or into the output of the light guide connected to the instrument. Always ensure that the output of the connected light guide is securely connected to the system to be illuminated before switch- ing on the compact light source. Furthermore, before switching on the compact light source, dim the light output all the way using the intensity switch (left limit stop of the switch) to prevent damage to the connected system.

•To prevent damage to the light guide connected to the device, the heat-

absorbing filter inserted into the device must be free of damage (gaps, cracks etc.). If the heat-absorbing filter is not inserted or is defec- tive, the service life of the light guide will be decreased.

•The interior of the lamp inserted into the unit contains highly toxic substances.

At the end of its service life, dispose of the lamp according to applicable regulations. The manu- facturer of the lamp provides corresponding information, for example in the lamp's shipping documents. Follow the manufacturer's instruc- tions in case the lamp bursts.

•The Leica EL6000 compact light source is designed for a voltage range of

100 – 240 VAC, 50 – 60 Hz. Within this voltage and frequency range, the instrument always adapts to the connected power supply. Operat- ing the instrument with a power supply voltage outside this range can destroy the instrument and the connected components!

•Only fuses of the specified type and the listed rated current may be used as

replacements. The use of incorrect fuses may result in a fire hazard.

•The instrument is intended exclusively for operation in dry rooms. Do not

use the instrument in rooms with explosion hazard.
