User manual LEICA MOTOR-FOCUS

[. . . ] The motor-focus system offers the following advantages over manual focusing: · · · · · Easy to use, even with heavy outfits Ergonomically better More flexibility for the user Leaves the hands free Saves time during repetitive tasks. Safety concept Before you try to set up and use the motor-focus system, read: · · this user manual, and in particular the safety notes the user manual for your stereomicroscope or macroscope, including the notes about safety and care. Permitted uses The motor-focus system is intended for the motor-driven raising and lowering of the LEICA MS5, MZ6, MZ8, MZ12, MZAPO and MZ FLIII stereomicroscopes and of the LEICA M420 macroscope on Leica incident- and transmitted-light stands, and on the large swinging-arm stand, and it replaces the mechanical drive housing. The motor-focus system consists of · a column with motor-focus mechanism a transformer with a power cable a manual control and/or a footswitch and/or a PC interface kit. · · For Leica stereomicroscopes The modular design of the motor-focus system enables it to be fitted to the incident- and transmitted-light stands and large swinging-arm stand of the LEICA MS5, MZ6, MZ8, MZ12, MZAPO and MZ FLIII stereomicroscopes and of the LEICA M420 macroscope. [. . . ] Low-voltage protection prevents electric shock if the circuit inside the motor housing is touched. Stops on the column, and end-switches on the motor housing, limit the upward and downward movement of the motor-focus system. The end-switches prevent it from attempting to travel further when it encounters the stops. · · EN · · Liquids Be careful when handling liquids. If spilt on electrical appliances, they can: · · cause the instruments and accessories to become electrically live, endangering personnel cause damage to the equipment. Warning: Danger of crushing and other injuries When focusing, keep your fingers away from: · · the space between the motor housing and the lower stop the space between the objective and the object, the surface of the stand, the stage insert and the stage. Legal requirements Adhere to general and local regulations relating to accident prevention and environmental protection. Conformity with European Community directive The motor-focus system and its accessories are constructed in accordance with the latest technologies and are provided with a statement of conformity with EC requirements. Precautions by the manufacturer: The lower stop must be adjusted individually in accordance with the characteristics of the object (see below). Safety note Always set the lower stop correctly in relation to the object (see page 9). If it is set too low: · · · the user's hands might get crushed between the objective and the object the object might get flattened or otherwise damaged the objective might get damaged. 5 Overview 2 1 3 5 4 Components Motor-focus system on incident- or transmitted-light stand 1 Stereomicroscope 2 Stand with column and motor-focus system 3 Transformer 4 Handswitch 5 Footswitch 6 Standard PC (not illustrated) 7 Motor-focus system on large swinging-arm stand 7 Inclinable carrier rod with motor focus 6 Assembly 2b 5 EN 4 3 3 8 7 1b 2a 1a The components 1a 300mm-long column with motor-focus mechanism 1b Inclinable carrier rod with motor focus 2a Incident- or transmitted-light stand 2b Large swinging-arm stand 3 Lower stop 4 Microscope carrier 5 Optics carrier 6 Transformer (not illustrated) 7 Handswitch 8 Footswitch 9 PC interface kit (not illustrated) 7 Assembly Incident- or transmitted-light stand Column with motor-focus mechanism base of stand Using three Allen screws, secure the column to the incident- or transmitted-light base (refer to user manual for stereomicroscope or macroscope). Using the clamping screw, secure the lower stop to the column, taking the position of the object into account (see page 9). Connecting the motor focus 1 Large swinging-arm stand Fit the inclinable carrier rod to the horizontal arm in accordance with the user manual for the stereomicroscope or macroscope. Using the clamping screw, secure the lower stop to the carrier rod (see page 9). Microscope carrier column with motor-focus mechanism Using an Allen screw, secure the microscope carrier to the column of the stand (refer to user manual for stereomicroscope or macroscope). Fit the optics carrier, binocular tube and accessories to the stereomicroscope or macroscope in accordance with the user manual.
