Warnings – Markings on the instrument itself
Transport and Installation
• Once unpacked, the instrument may be transported only in an upright position. Follow the unpacking
instructions carefully to avoid damage to the instrument!
• Before each transport, the drawer must be secured (e.g. using adhesive tape) so that it cannot open by itself.
• Only connect the instrument to a grounded power socket. Do not interfere with the grounding function by
using an extension cord without a ground wire.
Make sure to observe the voltage settings!
The set voltage CANNOT be changed by the user.
Severe damage may occur if the instrument is connected to a power supply voltage other than that to which
it was originally set.
• The installation location must be well ventilated, and must contain no sources of ignition of any kind. The chem-
icals used in the Leica ASP6025 are easily inflammable and hazardous to health.
• Do not operate the instrument in rooms with explosion hazard.
• Condensation water may form in the instrument if there is an extreme difference in temperature between
the warehouse and the installation site and if air humidity is high at the same time. If this is the case, wait
at least two hours before switching on the instrument. Failure to comply with this may cause damage to the
instrument.
• After the instrument has been put into service, a SMART cleaning must be carried out before each subse-
quent transport – otherwise, the interior of the instrument can be severely damaged (see
Chapter 6.1.4).
Markings on the instrument showing the warning triangle indicate that the correct operating instructions
(as defined in these Instructions for Use) must be followed when operating or replacing the item marked. Fail-
ure to adhere to these instructions may lead to accidents causing personal injury and/or damage to the instru-
ment or accessories or destroyed, unusable specimens.
Some instrument surfaces become hot during operation. They are marked with this warning label.
Touching these surfaces may cause burns.
