Technical safety
To connect the Leica E Series microscopes to
power, use a power cable that meets the power
cable specications in your country. The power
socket used has to be equipped with a 16 A or
10 A fuse. Only connect the instrument to a
grounded power socket that has been installed
according to regulations. The power supply
voltage has to correspond to the voltage speci-
ed on the identication label. Make sure that
the ground connection is neither defective
nor interrupted, since otherwise a malfunction
poses a risk of fatal injury. Never unplug the
power plug with moist or wet hands. There is
danger of an electric shock.
