Please ensure that all preparatory steps described in chapter 11 have
been completed:
1. Putting the instrument into operation after delivery
Turn the instrument on with the main switch (green toggle switch in
the lower right corner on the back of the instrument) while pushing
the ARROW UP button on the control panel for approx. 2 seconds.
Then push the ON/OFF button. The instrument will then be initialised.
The main switch should always remain in ON position even after daily
work. In daily routine, the tissue embedding center is turned on/off by
pushing the ON/OFF button on the control panel.
Turning on again after several weeks
When the instrument had been switched off with the main switch and
was out of use for several weeks, please pursue the same procedure
as described above.
2. After initialisation, the language selection reads in the display. The
desired language (E, G, F, I, S) can be selected within 10-15 seconds
pushing the ARROW UP/ARROW DOWN buttons. Once the button is
relased the selected language is stored automatically.
3. Approximately 10 seconds after releasing the ARROW button the in-
strument automatically switches over to the standby. In the standby
condition, the display is not illuminated.
In the lower line of the display reads actual day and actual time as
well as the current paraffin quantity level. The upper line remains
empty.
4. The Leica EG 1160 is put into operation by pushing the ON/OFF but-
ton. This button must be held down for approx. 10 seconds. This fea-
ture protects against unintended setting into operation. The instru-
ment will then be ready for operation in the ACT mode.
Default reading
Push one of the ARROW buttons to display the FLOW RATE reading.
In order to obtain a smooth, bubble-free paraffin flow, the flow rate
should first be set to 100% pushing one of the ARROW buttons. Push
the dispenser handle backward or press the foot pedal until the par-
affin flow is smooth and free of bubbles.
The Leica EG 1160 has two modes of operation: the actual operating
mode (ACT) and the programming mode (SET). To change from one
mode to the other, push the ACT/SET button.
