8 Instruction manual V 1.4 – 04/2010
Warnings - Electrical connection
Please refer to and comply with the ‘Technical data‘!
The instrument must be connected to a grounded mains power outlet socket!
During the start-up of the compressor the nominal voltage must not drop below the values
specified in the ‘Technical Data‘ chapter!
The compressor requires a start-up current between 45 and 50 A.
Therefore, the electric circuit at the installation site must be inspected by a qualified elec-
trician to ensure that it meets the requirements for a smooth operation of the instrument.
For trouble-free operation, a constant power supply according to specification must be en-
sured at all times. Failure to comply with the above will cause damage to the instrument.
After transporting, wait at least 4 hours before switching the instrument on!
This waiting period is necessary to allow the compressor oil, which may have been dis-
placed during transport, to return to its original position.
Failure to comply with this can cause severe damage to the instrument.
2. Safety
Warnings - Transport and installation
The instrument must be transported either in an upright position or, if inclined, at an angle
of max. 30 degrees!
Do not operate in rooms with explosion hazard!
To ensure the instrument works trouble-free, the instrument must be set up with a least 10
cm distance from all walls and furniture.
Do not place anything next to the compressor ventilation grid (right side of the cabinet) to
ensure adequate ventilation!
The protective foam parts between microtome and compressor MUST be removed prior to
operating the instrument!
