17 Leica CV5030 – Robotic Coverslipper
4.1 Installation site requirements
4. Instrument Setup
The location for the Leica CV5030 Robotic Coverslipper must meet the following requirements:
• The instrument requires an installation area of approx. 420 x 600 mm.
• The table must have a sufficient load capacity and rigidity with respect to the weight of the instrument.
• The instrument is designed for indoor use only.
• The power supply must be at a distance no greater than the length of the power cable; do not
connect an extension cable.
• The instrument MUST be connected to a grounded socket.
• Use only one of the provided power cables that is intended for the local power supply.
• The instrument must not be set up under an air-conditioning system.
• Avoid impacts, direct sunlight and excessive current fluctuations.
• The chemicals used in the instrument are easily inflammable and pose a health hazard.
• All of the device connections are listed in the Instructions for Use.
• We recommend operating the robotic coverslipper with an exhaust hose (max. length of the
exhaust hose: 3.00 m) and connection to external laboratory extraction or under a suitable fume
hood. The instrument should be operated with the associated active carbon filter in the process.
• The installation location must be well ventilated, and must contain no sources of ignition of
any kind.
• The chemicals used in the Leica CV5030 are easily inflammable and pose a health hazard.
• Never operate the instrument in rooms with an explosion hazard.
• Condensation water may form in the instrument if there is an extreme difference in tempera-
ture between the storage location 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 adhere to this waiting period may result in damage to the instrument.
• To ensure proper function of the instrument, it must be set up while maintaining a minimum
clearance of 10 cm between the right side or rear panel of the instrument and walls or fix-
tures. Maintain a clearance of 25 cm between the left side and walls or fixtures to ensure
unimpeded access to the service door.
• The instrument must be set up so that the power supply at the rear panel of the instrument
and the power plug can be reached at all times.
• The installation location must be protected against electrostatic discharges.
